To be or not to be an Instagram influencer?

The Pros And Cons Of Being A Fashion Blogger
youtube

Since I first joined Instagram, I have been semi-obsessed with the fashion bloggers I follow. I'm a dedicated fan of @cmcoving, @kateireneblue, and @champagneandchanel. Their clothes are to die for. Their hair is always perfectly in place. There's no way they weigh more than 100 pounds soaking wet.

From the Chanel purses to their Louboutin red-soled pumps, I wanted to be just like them. It got to the point where I even made a separate Instagram page so I could be a fashion blogger, too. And I was a fashion blogger - for a whole two weeks until I let the page fall to ruins and lost all of my followers because I quit posting pictures of the high-end outfits I bought for low prices.

So I started making a list of pros and cons to decide whether I should start my fashiongram back up, and I'm here to share the list with you.

PRO: You get free clothes from stores who want you to endorse their brands.

CON: You may not actually like the clothes they send you.

PRO: You get to post super cute photos of yourself in cute clothes while "drinking" a fancy milkshake.

CON: You can't actually drink the milkshake because there are way to many calories in that thing for you to stay a size 0.

PRO: You don't really have to have a "real" job because you get paid to take pictures and travel.

CON: You can't really have a real job because you spend all your time taking pictures and traveling.

PRO: You get paid to post pictures on Instagram.

CON: Who has room for all those clothes in their closet?

PRO: You'll get to make a ton of friends/have a ton of fans.

CON: How can you tell the friends and fans apart? Are they friends with you because you're Instafamous and can hook you up with the latest trends for free or because they genuinely like you as a person?

PRO: People want to know about what you're doing and what you're wearing and where you're going.

CON: Is anything really private for you?

PRO: People constantly compliment the way you look, and it makes you feel great.

CON: If you don't look your best, rude people will say you look like a troll. And if you look good, these same people will talk about how overdone you look.


So, I guess I can't really decide whether I should start my fashion blogger Instagram page back up. If I do, maybe I'll write an article about what it's actually like to be an fashion blogger. Maybe it will all be pros. Who knows?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
