• A girl with a tumblr far more popular than mine has started (not recently) using my what id wear icon as her own. I keep messaging her to please change it, in the most polite manner I can muster up; but she’s still using it.

    Its just frustrating knowing that after spending a few hours photoshopping to find fonts, messing around with ideas and spacing; someone else is using mine. And since she’s a lot more popular than me on tumblr, people will think it’s hers.

    (also just realised she’s used the name of a popular asutralian fashion blog as her tumblr url. Interesting.

    What should I do?

    *edit. She replied, saying due to having moved house she doesnt have internet connection apart from on her phone. She says when she has it back,she will work on a new one and change it. I guess we’ll just have to wait and see

  • New blog for you all to follow - http://thepolyvore.tumblr.com/

    Thats right, I’ve created another branch blog, this time for polyvore sets I would wear. These are just sets I come accross while answering advice questions. They will not be sorted, like the posts on What I’d Wear.

    I hope you all will enjoy it, I know I do!

  • I’ve just listed three new search functions/filters (+ 2 mini ones):

    Tees/Band Tees , Travel/Packing Lists, Concerts/Festivals, (interesting anons , skorts )

    (In the packing lists I havent included the gives : PJs, Underwear, toiletries etc)

    If anyone has a pocking list request, let me know; theyre so much fun to make!

    Let me know what you guys think too, and if you have any filter ideas let me know. I might add some of the highly requested ones

  • Sorry for switching things up, but again, im changing the ask/advice format again.

    Ive decided I dont like having another blog to handle, so Im going back to answering advice questions here, on What I’d Wear.

    To make it less annoying for those of you who complained about being spammed by my advice giving on your dashboards, im going to be publishing in groups of 5-10 depending on how many I have. They will be published in blocks rather than one by one, so that you can just scroll past them. I will also try to space the blocks out as best I can.

    There is also a way you can totally block out all ask replies, by installing xkit (which im sure a lot of you already have). Im not sure of the process, but if someone could please inbox me the method, ill edit it into this for everyone who wants it.

    ALSO, to streamline browsing on my tumblr, there are two new main filters on the main page, outfits and advice. There are still of course all the other filters on the search outfits page.

    I hope this isnt too irritating for you all, but having the advice blog just wasnt working for me.

    I will of course answer all the asks in the ask box there right now, but after that, its back to this blog!

    +All asks will be tagged #q

    Hope you all are having a great summer, or run-up to summer

  • Dressing for YOUR body

    Due to the many many individual asks I’ve received about flattering and minimizing different body parts, and flattering your bodies, Ive created a quick guide for flattering your bodies.

    It should be pretty simple to figure out what you should and shouldn’t be doing in certain areas (whether to enhance or hide problem areas). At the bottom of the page is a brilliant little website I found that helps you easily identify what body type you will most closely relate too, and tons of tips for flattering your own body.

    Remember, I am a strong believer in body acceptance. That means not putting down other people’s bodies, as well as accepting and loving your own body. Your body is your home, it will be the only thing in your life you will have start to end, with no missing intervals. It will get you through thick and thin, and for that, it deserves your love. You deserve your love. 

    With confidence, comes the ability to pull of ANY outfit. No matter how laid back or daring, believing in yourself will allow you radiate confidence, and believe you me, this confidence will show, and you will look fresh and stylish.

    Lastly, (sorry, this turned into another lecture of sorts) wear clothes that make YOU feel confident, and most like yourself or the person you want to be. Dont try to be anyone else, because everyone except your own unique self is taken.

    As the brilliant Coco Chanel once said : “In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different”

    And as a more recent brilliant woman, Diane Von Furstenberg said : “When a woman becomes her own best friend, life is easier”.

    I hope you all enjoy my new little dressing resource!

  • On behalf of everyone you help, a massive thanks is needed. Thank you so much for everything you do and all the outfit helps you give. It doesn't go unappreciated and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. Over the time period you've been active on this blog you've helped a number of people and even if we fail to say so, we truly do appreciate all that you do and want to thank you. xx

    Awh, thank you so so much darling anon. I have the biggest grin on my face, and dont judge me, but I teared up a little reading this.

    It means so much to me that so many of you appreciate what I do here, its really what I love to do, so its great that other people can benefit too. Im so glad I have all you wonderful people supporting and interacting with me, so thank YOU all.

    Love,

    Mel

  • I’m going back and forth. It will be quite a splurge for me, and im just thinking how many clothes I could thrift with the money. Also, it’s versatility seems limited. Also cant tell if I love it or like it. What do you guys think?

    (edit) Thanks so much for your opinions guys, you guys give great advice!

    I think I’ll bring 2 tops tomorrow and go try them on with various other tops from their store and decide. If I change my mind later, there’s always returns :)

    Anyhow, tomorrow starts my study leave from work here. I have a ton of posts queued for you guys, but things will still be moving slower than usual. Please bear with me, I cant wait until the next 3 weeks are over.

    See you all in 3 weeks xx

  • booklrs:

The Booklrs pre-launch contest is starting to gain more and more attention. A few smart Tumbleloggers have put a vote link on their blog so that their followers can vote for them on http://www.booklrs.com . 
Take Melanie (17) for example, who runs the fashion blog ‘What I’d Wear’. She’s one of these smart Tumbleloggers and she’s got 19 votes on the first day she put a link to the contest on her blog already. It’s a matter of time before she shows up in the Booklrs contest top 5.
Hereby we like to praise her for the quality of her blog. On her ‘about me’ page she says running her blog is a hobby, but it seems she takes it very seriously. The coolest feature is the clothing menu she’s build. It allows you to filter the massive amount of pictures on jeans, blazers, harem pants, shorts, etc. Feels just like a stylish webshop. But instead of selling you stuff, Melanie sells you answers to all your fashion questions! We can imagine this blog is like heaven to most girls (and guys who like gorgeous models too! :) ) 
But the best of all is - I think - Melanies personal blog . For a 17 year old girl, she has an insane music taste. I mean: Dion and the Belmonts, Joan Jett, even the King?! Hope in the new generation restored! 
If you too want to win a free printed blogbook of your own Tumblelog and a front-page interview on Booklrs, promote yourself on your blog / facebook / twitter too! 
Questions? Ask!
    Hey everyone, guess who’s been chosen for the tumblr spotlight?
If you want to take a look, I’m under street style on the tumblr spotlight page.
Thank you everyone for supporting me, and for all your wonderful messages. I’m so glad I made this blog, I adore you all.
