I do have a handful of things that are in my mental 'not work appropriate' category because of raw cut hems and obvious stains and stuff like that. I guess I am still very much at the start of my career so I haven't decided yet if I need to stop wearing silly novelty-print dresses to be taken seriously, which I hope isn't the case.Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802835174547914151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386850766587108493.post-57806559096006013092013-04-14T17:07:17.931+12:002013-04-14T17:07:17.931+12:00I couldn't agree more, what an excellent and s...I couldn't agree more, what an excellent and succinct comment!Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802835174547914151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386850766587108493.post-44557149925396784462013-04-14T17:07:01.357+12:002013-04-14T17:07:01.357+12:00Thanks!

I reckon the whole honesty thing is really important too.

That may contradict my love of really old advertisements, but I'm contrary like that!Indigo Violethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09370412819941447206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386850766587108493.post-40002883344254567532013-04-07T10:17:14.941+12:002013-04-07T10:17:14.941+12:00That cardigan is awesome.

If someone starts advertising car insurance or something on a vintage blog I'm probably going to unsubscribe. If it fits in with your aesthetic and ethics I think it's fine.Camelia Crinolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255747263262874628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386850766587108493.post-69836316050111049512013-04-07T09:08:24.999+12:002013-04-07T09:08:24.999+12:00I think its very pretty and suits your style - I w...I think its very pretty and suits your style - I wear vintage to my office all the time. Although I am much more of a 60s/70s girl and I've never had any issues. Although I'm also kind of surly and I figure I'm here due to my skills not what I look like and as long as I look tidy it shouldn't matter. As for advertisements on blogs - I think its ok sometimes if someone offers a blogger a freebee and they choose to take it. However, when a blog gets covered in advertising and every second post becomes an advertisement and you begin to realise someones outfit posts are 90% the same brand of clothes it kind of gets boring.Treeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07319274204951528344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386850766587108493.post-65272078481536913792013-04-07T05:47:21.222+12:002013-04-07T05:47:21.222+12:00That dress is fabulous and so you!

I don't think there's anything wrong with sponsorship as long as it fits in with the essence of the blog and the posts about products are honest and not shoving stuff down your throat. Its interesting to hear what you say about office wear, I find a good chunk of vintage jewellery or costume does the trick! xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07058025208625196060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386850766587108493.post-28117167999715385942013-04-06T21:42:16.768+13:002013-04-06T21:42:16.768+13:00Ah I agree with this so much.

It is amazing that people can turn blogs into a full-time equivalent job because I don't have the skill to do that, but then people selling (their?) blogs as totally independent and revolutionary kind of becomes contradictory y'know? I definitely prefer reading blogs that maintain a ~~real~*~ tone but obviously people want different things from the whole blog reading experience. I guess I seek other weirdos who love ugly zany crap like I do which kind of goes against the sponsorship experience in some ways? I have so many feels.Georgia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11802835174547914151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-386850766587108493.post-8174808425229002612013-04-06T21:30:23.088+13:002013-04-06T21:30:23.088+13:00I think the main thing (for me, anyway) is how off...I think the main thing (for me, anyway) is how off putting it is when blog posts sound like press releases. Keeping the tone of the blog is important. <br /><br />And actually, I do really like seeing people who have nice blogs earn some sort of revenue/compensation from them, because it does require time and effort to maintain a blog and why not receive some sort of reward for it?
