SHIRT, SKIRT, SWEATER, SHOES: (c/o) W Concept As a fashion blogger in a crowded market, I aim to be unique, to showcase my personality and to tell a story through my style. I search far and wide for inspiration sometimes in unlikely places so that I can be different… because I don’t always like “following trends.” You guys know this. The fact is, the blogosphere is an oversaturated place, and if you want to stand out, you need to be original. When newbie bloggers ask for advice, I tell them to, “Be yourself…. you are what makes your blog unique. It’s about your outlook on the world, your creativity, the value you add…” But all too often, bloggers (I, included from time to time) forget this and fall into the trap of blending in… Trust me, it’s a struggle! So that’s why today’s look is one of my favorites this week because it serves as a personal reminder of why I started The Style Bungalow in the first place. To be different. Much like myself, emerging designers look to push boundaries too BUT struggle with breaking into the fashion market because big time buyers aren’t interested with taking a risk on a new designer. They would rather bring in a brand that will sell… Unless… e-commerce boutiques like W Concept, believe in them. They promote emerging designers each season. They make it possible for these designers to unveil their creativity to the world. When they approached me to create a look for the blog, I immediately said YES without any hesitation hence today’s look… So, if like me, you enjoy supporting emerging designers and being different, I suggest you browse W Concept’s boutique or shop today’s look below! Happy Monday everyone! Xo, Stephanie P.S. In case you’re wondering, this weekend was a success! My family met my boyfriend for the first time and they absolutely adored him. 🙂 — Turn on your JavaScript to view content — [Chelsae Anne | Photography] [Thank you W Concept for sponsoring this look!]
