Improtu Hiatus

I have (quite simply) not really felt like posting lately. One of those situations occurred where everything quietly piled up on me until I realized that my house is a mess, my social life needs more attention, and my health eating & exercise habits have completely disappeared. Posting to this blog was the first thing that needed to be dropped for a while.

After taking photos of myself everyday for approximately a year, focusing on improving my style & composure, learning to pattern mix, and not be afraid of clothes. I think I have reached a style plateau. I am simply not that ‘into’ fashion, I’m happy with the way that I look, and the paths I’ve been taking lately, but there isn’t an urge to continue pushing myself in new directions.

Everything in my life has felt a little bit materialistic lately. I don’t blame blogging but I just need something new in my life for a while. I thought taking a week or two off might swing me back to the other side of the pendulum. But it hasn’t yet.

I am not shutting down, or signing off. I just need a couple more weeks away from here if you don’t mind. This blog will be coming back, and it will definitely be focusing on a wider variety of topics. And probably have WAY fewer photos of me on it.

    I thought you might be feeling that way, I was about two days away from email checking in. It’s admirable that you’re able to clearly prioritize your life when things get harried. I’ll continue to miss your posts, but will be cheering you on as you get your ducks more comfortably in a row. And in an appropriate order. :)

    I wondered where you’ve been! I can totally relate to that feeling (I think that at one point or another, all bloggers can). Looking forward to your return (in whatever capacity/subject matter)…but until then, enjoy the bloggy vaycay :)

    I wondered where you’ve been.

    I did that, I took about 6 months off last year, I had other things to focus on and I felt like I needed a change.

    I’ll look forward to when you’re back xo

    Totally understandable and not unusual. Some bloggers find it refreshing to broaden the scope of their blog from just fashion to include other areas of life, like movies, culture, books, etc. Doing that can create new enthusiasm for posting your thoughts and ideas. Regardless of what you decide to do, know that we enjoyed meeting you and appreciate who you are. You’re a very special person.

    I think I’ve felt that way for at least a month now and have been trying to diversify into lifestyle. A lot of my blogger friends are feeling a bit tired of their blogs, too. It’s like a blogger virus is going around.

    See you when you get back!

    I’m sure the comments before me say the same thing, but take all the time you need. (: We will still be here.

    We’ve missed you Loren but I completely understand- sometimes life is just too crazy to think about photo taking and posting! We’re here waiting, not going anywhere xo

    I totally understand where you are coming from and I’ve seen this happen before and maybe fashion blogging isn’t for you, but I definitely think that blogging is. You have a great personality and your blog is always full of fun and awesome words and ideas. Maybe a rebranding with do you right. But if you decide to leave the world of blogging, we will miss you! I hope your real life gets back in order.
