I think we started blogging around the same time and were checking out similar bloggers and their styles. Like you I was so excited about this new concept (blogging) have styling help through reading blogs and thought that if I acquired all these items that were being showcased I would be just as stylish/hip/up-to-date. Totally missed the boat! Instead what's been happening is that I've been slowly but surely selling the items that I had once purchased due to being influenced. Now that I work there it's so much different because I'm around everything often so the appeal can wear off much quicker and I never have to buy a thing. But I still buy! Only now I'm more in tune with what I really like and will really prove to be versatile with my lifestyle and personal style.
