Feature Friday is a new thing here at The 24/7 Mom! I am going to play 20 questions with some of my favorite bloggers each Friday! Read along, check them out, and hopefully you will find a new blog to read because these bloggers featured on Friday are Fabulous!
I don’t remember the site that linked me to Closet 365, but I found out about Jenny on New Year’s Eve! She inspired my New Year’s aspirations post and my last trip to a thrift store. Since that first day I read her blog, I’ve been a subscriber rooting her on! I never finished my own Project 365, which was just taking a picture every day. I don’t know how Jenny manages to take different clothes, come up with an entirely different outfit every singe day, and then do a photo shoot. I’ve watched her do it through sickness and in health and even in snow. I love her sense of fashion and her writing style.
A few of my own favorite outfits? (This is hard because I’m constantly posting, oh now this is my new fave, but then I go through the old posts, and but this is my fave and this is my fave!)
Knowing Nothin’ In Life But To Be Legit
It Was A Murder But Not A Crime
Connect The Cause And Effect, One Foot In Front Of The Left
That’s just a few, I could make this a whole post of favorite Jenny outfits, but this post isn’t about me, it’s about Jenny from Closet 365!
_________________________________________
Who are you? I am Jenny. I’m 27 and I live in Colorado. I guess you could say I’m a fashion blogger of sorts. I am documenting a years worth of outfits in order to not repeat the same outfit twice in 2010. Okay, maybe that doesn’t make me a fashion blogger. Maybe that just makes me crazy.
Why did you start to blog? I wanted a blog for a very long time. I have always loved to write, and I’m a total internet junkie, so I knew it would be a good fit. It took me a long time to get started. I’ve been reading blogs since they were invented but it was only last fall that I figured out what I wanted to blog about.
How old is your blog? I launched the Closet365 Project on New Year’s Day last year, but I started posting a bit before that.
Has your blog changed over time? My blog is still young by a lot of people’s standards. I’m a creature of habit, so the format has stayed very much the same since day one. However, I like to think that I am slowly improving my photography (maybe) and my writing changes all the time.
Favorite post? I do theme weeks at the end of every month. Mostly just to mix up the monotony of daily outfit posts. Some of the fun ones have been music themed, movie themed and recreating outfits from my childhood.
Pepsi or Coke? I have been trying to kick my diet soda addiction for oh…ten years…but it just depends on my mood. Usually Diet Pepsi.
Favorite Blogs You Read? There are WAY too many to name. Check my blog roll. I love pretty much any blogs related to fashion, celebrity gossip, fitness and food. And I’m not a parent but I occasionally fall for a good mommy blog if it’s funny and well-written.
Would You Like Fries With That? Again, depends on the day. I’m a healthy eater six days a week, but Thursdays are my junk food day. Fries every Thursday!
Partners In Crime? My husband. And my co-workers. I like people that I can be my real evil self around and not get in trouble. Muahahaha.
Favorite Blogging Tip? Comment! Not every blog you comment on will hit you back. But I think secretly (or not so secretly) every blogger is a whore for comments. It’s the best way to get your name out there and make new friends!
Inspiration IRL? I have so many! I am inspired by artists, pop culture icons, writers, designers, musicians, activists. In fact, I don’t think I have a real personality of my own. I’m just a conglomeration of everything I’ve learned from TV and fashion magazines. I’m a bunch of bad SNL skits and South Park punchlines. In cuter clothes.
Bloggy Inspiration? This will sound really weird, but the first person who ever inspired me to have a blog was Melissa Howard (now Beck) (Does anyone remember Real World: New Orleans?! Haha). She has had the funniest blog since before it was cool to have one or even called a blog. I loved how entertaining she is, simply by being hilarious and fabulous self and I take a lot of inspiration from that. I still like to read it now and then to see what she’s up to.
Hobbies? Reading, writing, music, blogging, running, yoga, fitness in general.
Bikini or one piece? Bikini. I have the torso of a 10-year-old, with bigger boobs so I can’t pull off a one piece.
Edward, Bill, LeStat, or insert your own vampire? I don’t get the vampire thing at all. I’m sorry. Feel free to disown me.
Does your family get your blogging? Sort of…my husband is very supportive, although he doesn’t always read. Hence the fact that I told everybody about his crush on Sally Field. My mom and family are avid readers and supporters. Some members of my family still don’t really get it, but for the most part they are fans. Or secret fans.I have some of those too.
Favorite Online Community? I honestly don’t know as much about blogging communities as I should. Although IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) is a great resource.
What would I be shocked to know about you? I’m such a weird person already, there isn’t much I can think of that shocks people. That I own a couple of Hilary Duff CDs? That I sometimes stalk people from afar, because I’m extremely nosy? That I had to ban myself from playing The Sims, because it would eat away days of my life?
I guess people who read my blog might be shocked to know that I have serious insecurity issues. I am extremely shy and socially awkward. I used to hate having my picture taken.(And still sort of do) I don’t consider myself super-good looking and I constantly worry that other people think I’m fat and ugly. And that they hate me and are secretly out to get me. Why it doesn’t bother me to put pictures of myself in flamboyant outfits on the internet every single day, still does not make any sense. Not even a little.
How much time would your man say it takes you to get ready? When you consider that I have to primp every.single.day for my blog picture, my husband would probably still say I’m quick and low-maintenance. I’ve got my routine down pat because I myself hate spending a bunch of time in the bathroom.
Over or under? Under?
