...First, this dress your sister gave you is lovely.<br /><br />Second, I hear what you are saying about blogging contributing to the problem, but in my book, it allows us to control what we want to present to the world rather than being told how we look.

You look stunning! <br /><br />I agree with what you are saying and it really irritates me that business women have to wear pencil skirts and sky high heels to look appropriate for work. I feel extra sexy in outfits like that and it is just objectifying them in the workplace! I can't imagine having to do myself up like that on a daily basis.Kirstinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01364384210850857207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-40111488896774649012012-03-08T21:51:12.054+01:002012-03-08T21:51:12.054+01:00Thank you for this well written and thought provok...Thank you for this well written and thought provoking post, Emily. I've made a mental reminder about watching the documentary you linked to. Some of the very things you touched on are among the reasons I've scaled back in my outfit posting (well, that and I'm also lazy). I very rarely wear makeup or do anything with my hair, but found myself almost exclusively documenting my more polished outfits. I don't want to feel like I have to play into the need for perfection in females. I just want to be recognized as a human being regardless of how I present myself.<br /><br />And, speaking of presenting oneself, I can easily see why you like this outfit so much. Can those tights do no wrong? That dress is a treasure. Three cheers to gifts from sisters :)Emily, Resplendent Tranquilityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04520172325139914326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-33162894531477990762012-03-08T21:23:58.867+01:002012-03-08T21:23:58.867+01:00What a lovely outfit!

Usually it only takes me 20 minutes but still its kinda silly especially when my husband can be out the door in five minutes. That being said I feel better about myself when I take a little more time and get dolled up and put on a fancy dress. I definitely have mixed feelings about the whole thing.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04326688859995533854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-67902685573463349192012-03-08T18:01:19.318+01:002012-03-08T18:01:19.318+01:00@Caitlin: That's a fair argument.

Usually around 11 am I regret that I didn't put in the extra 15 minutes, but by then it's too late! ;DEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02613329448991127605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-11828633663155044522012-03-08T17:28:43.843+01:002012-03-08T17:28:43.843+01:00i love this look and wish i had a sister to give m...i love this look and wish i had a sister to give me such a fabulous present. my friends and i endlessly discuss the feminine conundrum, and i'm still not really sure what my feelings are on the subject. i don't think there is anything wrong with looking your best, and i do think there are some of the same pressures on men, and maybe it's just where i live but people are just generally more relaxed about "beauty" as a culture around here. and i hear what you're saying about bloggers trying to emulate the very magazines that alienate us--well put--but the fact of the matter is there will always be trends, and there always have been, and i think the standards are slowly slackening, still (at least we don't have to wear corsets!), and we can feel more comfortable about ourselves at various sizes than we used to, and I've never really had a problem with basic upkeep. yes, it takes me far longer to get ready in the morning than it would if i didn't wear any makeup, or if i didn't shower, but those things make me feel better. for so many reasons. and i don't think it's all society's influence. maybe trying to be as beautiful as we can be (with lipsticks and the like) is even biological... birds do it, bees do it... :p<br /><br />anyway, always an interesting subject! the documentary link didn't work when i clicked it, but one of my friends burned me the documentary "miss representation" for christmas (i shamefully haven't watched it yet), which sounds like it might be along the same lines.<br /><br />wow, long-winded. also, i love your crown. also, there is a spot on my sofa for you anytime you're in vermont ;)caitlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18034517128072912619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-42162065020578332852012-03-08T16:49:38.275+01:002012-03-08T16:49:38.275+01:00that's it-- I'm making a star crown.

I a...I love your outfit, and I also love this post. I agree totally with what you've said. I have hairy legs and armpits but have been too nervous to show them on my blog for fear of retribution from the perfectly-polished blogosphere. I finally posted a picture of my shoes the other day in which you can see the hairy legs clearly, and am still expecting a snarky anonymous comment... fingers crossed it never comes though. I know my blog would be more popular if I combed my hair and wore makeup, but I don't want to 'sell out' in order to get more readers. Ugh. A slippery slope though.Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802835174547914151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-30611097627909069042012-03-08T07:33:02.716+01:002012-03-08T07:33:02.716+01:00ok so i'll go with my more shallow point first...ok so i'll go with my more shallow point first. You look amazing! The crown is such a lovely extra and I'm a little bit in love with the dress.<br /><br />My second point is yes yes yes. I work a nine till 5 and tend to do wishlists/summaries/reviews during the week because I look, well, like hell. I've found that if I have posted a picture in the past with awful lighting and crap skin I've had less comments and traffic in my direction. But to be fair I'm just as much as a culprit as anyone else! Whilst scrolling through my blogger dashboard it's always the posts with the good quality pictures I'm drawn too....<br /><br />xxEloisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11763488432988687413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-76789286171403673572012-03-08T07:03:41.764+01:002012-03-08T07:03:41.764+01:00Freaking amazing!Freaking amazing!Miss Tallulah Porkchophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01251953356838082616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-42180461398851366572012-03-08T07:02:31.254+01:002012-03-08T07:02:31.254+01:00@jesse.anne.

I was in Romania last year for Women's Day, and it was really fun...I'll have to check out that documentary!<br /><br />I love your honesty, and must confess that I have some of the same issues with aspects of style blogging. I couldn't be less interested in posts that have to do with makeup. I just don't care. I feel like I read a lot of style blogs where people say "Oh, my makeup routine is ridiculously simple, I don't even care about makeup!"...and then they show their gargantuan makeup bag and recite the endless litany that is their routine. That's not for me, and it strikes me as not genuine...anyway, I'm rambling, but that's something that's been on my mind :)<br /><br /><a href="http://thejoyfulfox.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">thejoyfulfox.blogspot.com</a>Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14508864441526180702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5866610815350600314.post-2151179967257901242012-03-08T03:43:15.829+01:002012-03-08T03:43:15.829+01:00You look lovely and the dress is a dream!

Personally, I'm drawn to your blog because I love your fashion style, settings, inspiration, photography and I think you lead a pretty interesting life (hello, absinthe bars, barcelona, etc!!). You and your style are relatable and still inspiring. I guess I'm not really touching all the aspects of fashion blogging, but just letting you know how much I enjoy your blog and you!
