Over the past couple of years, blogging has allowed me to feel more confident and comfortable in my own skin. Looking back, I must admit that when I started Lurchhoundloves I would try out some of the latest trends (even if I didn’t feel comfortable wearing them), as I felt it was my duty as a fashion blogger to do so. I could not have been more wrong!

I set up my blog to share my love of affordable fashion online, but it should also be a place that allows my individual style to shine: this is something that I have taken on board over time and has helped my style to evolve (alongside my confidence) into what it is today. I will never be one of those effortless girls who can walk around in heels all day. I am most comfortable wearing trainers or flats and adopting a ‘minimal’ vibe to my outfits, which is what you will see today when reading my blog.

I guess what I am trying to say is that your style and tastes will change over time and hey, there is nothing wrong with trying out something new. But, don’t feel like you have to dress a certain way because you should do. Dress for yourself, wear what you feel comfortable in and find a way to incorporate the latest trends into your wardrobe that still lets your individual style shine.
