블로그는 제가 생각했었던 것보다 더 어려워요.
ALTHOUGH
I HAVE TO ADMIT that I have doubts about the grammatical accuracy of that
Korean sentence –
self-taught student, right here – I have no doubts about its
veracity. Tomorrow (January 27
th) marks one year since I created
this blog to serve as a creative corner where I can share my "passion for fashion" (cliché much?). In my case, however, the
main aim of my blog was to showcase the clothes I make in order to see what
people who don’t know me thought. What I learned was that contrary to popular
belief, blogging requires a lot of work.
I don’t have a DSLR so sometimes I
spend hours choosing and editing photos in order to make them remotely
presentable. Having a blog has significantly enhanced my graphic design skills
which, according to an article on
PR
Couture -
one of my favorite go-to
sites as a PR student – is one of the 5 top skills needed when working as a
PR practitioner. Because I am a double-major student with English being my
first major, writing for my blog has also proven to be time consuming. I always
nitpick on my sentences in attempt to make them more engaging for my readers.
When I look back at my blog now, I
see another fun addition to my long list of hobbies. I don’t regret starting my
blog and working with what I've got – which
currently is my Samsung Galaxy S4 camera and a 10 mp Canon digital camera –
instead of procrastinating till I get a good camera. The greater the obstacles
the more I want to create better content and get over them. Having a blog has also helped me partly chase away the stubborn introvert inside me.
For Dilek Aspires’ first birthday tomorrow, I am planning on
making a post with a small compilation of all my documented outfits throughout
the past year. Yeah, yeah, I know. Many bloggers have already done it. So I get
a B for creativity. Sue me.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these photos my friend and
I took yesterday. I am really into burgundy and my love for blue is ever
evident throughout my outfits. These are actually the pants from the suit I
wore in this post
HERE and this coat is obviously my favorite coat among the ones I have made. Well, basically, I haven't bought a coat in 7 years so, yeah...among ALL my coats. I
am currently making a new one, so if you are interested in seeing it stay tuned!
Thank
you for reading, and, as always, never forget to
ASPIRE
HIGHER!
Hugs,
Dilek
