Hi all! I’m going to be taking a little blog vacation this week, in order to assess my blog and decide if I want to take it a different direction. There have been a lot of changes in my life recently, and I want to make sure that The Style Safari is always the best representation of myself, my style, and my life. I’m hoping that stepping away for a week will give me a fresh perspective- and any advice you can all give would be very appreciated.
Thank you so much for your support!
I recently went through a “blog change” (featured in my post last week). I had been doing a lot of thinking about “personal style” blogging and what is actually behind it. I felt as if I was portraying this life where I could dress fancy every day and parade around- which is certainly not the case since I spend most of my hours inside the emergency department (where terrible and amazing things happen all in one place). I felt that my blog should reflect everything in my life- not just the materialistic possessions in my closet. Everyone is different and everyone can create their own voice on their blog- I love yours and hope that you continue to blog, but in the end – do whatever is right for you! If you need anything, gimme a holler ;)

I’ve been there – I took a 7 month blog vacation after my wedding to figure out what I wanted the blog to be. There were times where I wanted to shelve the whole thing then – and now as well, if I’m being honest. I do adore your blog and hope to continue reading it, and know whatever direction you take it in will be a great one. If you need to talk (preferably over leavened food), I’m here!

Yup! I totally get it. When I go through “mid-blog” crisis I feel like, ‘well if I could start it all over I would do it completely different.’ For me, I started the blog because I needed a creative outlet that was not being satisfied in other parts of my life. Then everything became about the blog and I thought boy this is not what I signed up for. It becomes a second job and not for “fun.”
I hope you “blogcation” allows you to see clarity in what your next stage will be!
(But selfishly I do love reading your “Do It Yourself” craftiness.
