Greetings, My Little Astrological Creatures!

I have a few pet peeves when it comes to other fashion blogs. Now, I'm not saying my blog is perfect but at least it lives up to basic (and I mean basic) blogging standards. I thought it would be a great idea to vent out my frustrations about certain things I've seen on a few fashion blogs. Before I get started, if you want to check out my last fashion post than click: here. Anyways, let's get started shall we?

While I was scrolling through Pinterest, I landed upon a pin that was connected to a fashion blog. The pin said,"How to expand your comfort zone" or something similar to that. So I clicked on the link and it sent me to a particular blog (not trying to "name" names). For one, I felt like I was tricked by click bait because there was no useful information. All you could see was a nice, oversized picture that took up half of the post itself. Second, there was little to no writing. Third, they were only linking other blog posts that were related to their click bait title. I don't know if know if it was pure laziness. Or a quick upload to satisfy the masses. Well, either way I was pretty pissed off about it.

The little story-time up there was a prime example of the annoying things that some fashion blogs do. As a reader, I would appreciate a good balance in the amount of pictures and writing in each blog post. Now, this requirement doesn't apply to everyone. It's okay to have more photos than writing if the post is about:

• A fashion event that the blogger attended
• A number of outfits or a single ootd
• An particular item or items that you're sharing
• Any post that requires more pictures in general or just a fashion post that consists of only pictures

If your going to have a title that instructs someone on how to do something then atleast have instructions listed instead just a single introduction paragraph. Second, link to other posts when your own post is able to stand on its own two feet. What I mean by this is don't feed off of others information until you have enough writing of your own. Finally, if you're going to do clickbait then make the fashion post worth the audiences' while. :)
