She's Just A Blogger

I attended an event where many fashion people were present. Fashion people consists of many types. People from the fashion media, fashion stylists, fashion designers, fashion retail players, and...fashion bloggers. Although I keep telling people I'm not necessarily a fashion blogger but more of "just" a "blogger" (because I talk about other things too other than fashion, I think), but the label sticks so okay, I'll take that "fashion blogger" label.

But anyway, my point was, among the fashion people, I often feel that fashion bloggers sort of get this weird vibe, or even weird looks, from the other groups. Not everyone, of course. Just some of them. It's like, "who are you? You know nothing about fashion". It might be true. I know little about fashion. All I know is that I like to dress up and all. And I get it. People like me, or most of us fashion bloggers, did not study fashion. We don't have a strong fashion background. But does that make us "wrong" for being included in the fashion world nowadays?

To boast a little, I do think fashion bloggers deserve all the attention we are luckily getting at the moment. We are directly helping the fashion industry, you see? We tell people what label we are wearing on our #OOTD posts, and that significantly helps designers - particularly new ones - to get their brand out there. We represent "real people" who actually wear the fashion items you other fashion people style and display on the runway or fashion spreads. We wear fashion for real in our daily lives, not just for show. We voluntarily promote fashion. Isn't that something?

I just think that regardless how one ends up in the fashion circle, no one deserves to be discriminated. We all play our different roles with one end objective: to spread the love for fashion! If you still hate us bloggers, I think you're just jealous hehehe..
