The Fashion Faux Pas of Gabrielle An unconventional fashion blogger trying to find her place on the internet

Wardrobe Block

09/05/2018

We’ve all heard about the infamous “writers block” but having spent the last 40 minutes watching an episode about it on Jane the Virgin, I came to the realisation I’m in what I would call a “wardrobe block” (full disclosure – I’m coining that term right now 😉) and I think it’s something a lot of people will relate to.

I SHOP BUT HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR!
Now as I’m a fashion blogger, doesn’t that sound completely ridiculous? Doesn’t the fact that my wardrobe is often overflowing with clothes contradict the fact that I still feel this way? I have some BEAUTIFUL clothes, shoes, bags, accessories – yet I feel so uninspired by what I wake up to every morning!

I sometimes think the pressure of growing my Instagram following has me all messed up when trying to pick an outfit every morning. I don’t pick out what I want to wear without thinking “Ooh, have I worn this recently? How will I picture this for Instagram?” which can make me feel a bit demotivated when it comes to pulling together a great outfit.
I seem to have plateaued on my social media platforms and definitely think this has impacted my love of getting dressed in the morning leading to what I’m now deeming a “wardrobe block”.

I’ve gotten to the point where I can’t even be bothered to share my outfits on Instagram as they’re not “worthy” or just a bit meh – the effort I put into growing it all just doesn’t seem worth the return I get back.

Let me know in the comments below if you’ve got any tips on getting out of a wardrobe block and whether you’ve struggled with the pressures of keeping up with Instagram! Until Next Time

    Ughhh I can relate to this so much! I have so many lovely clothes but I feel like I’m struggling with pairing them together to create interesting and creative looks at the moment. Instagram DEFINITELY has a huge effect on it as you’re always thinking about what’s going to look good and fit with or contrast with what you’ve recently posted, blogger life eh! At least you’ll have some beaut pics of you in a wedding gown soon hehe!

Thought I’d make another appearance on here sinc Thought I’d make another appearance on here since it’s been over a year since my last post, so here’s one from my Tiktok #sustainableootd #ootd #vintedfinds
Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise Had such a good night for @maismurph ‘s surprise birthday outing last night, although I’m definitely feeling it today! Love you both loads ❤️❤️
So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve So I’ve been absent on here for months as I’ve been working and saving away with this gorgeous man to make sure that we could buy a house and we’ve only gone and done it! We’re now in the process of fixing it up and getting our bedroom ready to move in to, so hope we can get in next week! I’m going to be sharing the whole process on our Tiktok account which you can follow @thealbonrenovation - the first post on there is just a video showing the whole house as it was when we bought it on Friday (it’s changed a lot since then!) - so give us a follow it you love a bit of home renovation! 🥳🥳 #firsttimebuyers #newhouse
When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear When the snow was beautiful and didn’t disappear ❄️ what a week it’s been! I’ve been shivering away, heating on full blast and my dressing gown wrapped around me as I work this week - I love the look of snow but hate the cold! Had a day of hypochondria where I had a cough and was convinced it was Covid - but turns out my husband knows me best and that it wasn’t. And that’s probably the most exciting bit of news I l have for you all! How are you all doing?!
Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time Hello all! I’m trying not to leave too much time between posts as I have been in the last few months, so I think a couple of weeks is an improvement! On our way home from food shopping last week (highlight of the week!) we decided to stop by one of my favourite spots to take some outfit photos, where the majority of what I’m wearing is second hand (bag, jacket and jumper). I’m getting extremely stir crazy, but at the same time have turned into quite the hermit, I miss going out for lunch with Aaron, mooching around the charity shops and going out to do site visits for work - let’s hope this vaccine helps bring some normality!
And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to And the final day of 2020 is upon us! I decided to make myself feel like I was going somewhere tonight by putting a full face of makeup on, with the intention of sitting on the sofa sharing a bottle of Disaronno with Aaron to see the new year in! We might hit up the kitchen, the living room and Aaron suggested the bathroom but I wasn’t sure 😂 what have you got planned for tonight? And Happy New Year to everyone!
And that’s Christmas over for another year (alth And that’s Christmas over for another year (although let’s be honest, 2020 may as well not have happened!) and I just hope to god 2021 is a damn site better for everyone! Since I’ve been attempting to cut out purchasing brand new clothing all together, bar a few items such as underwear and pyjamas, I’m hoping once Hertfordshire is out of Tier 4 that I can head to the shops and do some serious secondhand shopping and use the vouchers I got to buy myself some new beauty bits. How was your quiet Christmas and have you got any beauty recommendations for me? #hertsbloggers #fashionbloggeruk #ukfashionblogger #ukstyleblogger #hertsbloggerlove #sustainablefashionblogger #secondhandfashionblogger #petitebloggeruk #petitefashionbloggeruk #outfitinspo #mylookoftheday #ootdshare #ukfashionblog #petitestyle #hertfordshirebloggers #funkyfashion #ukfashion #ootdinspo #canon700d #canon #amatuerphotography #aspiringfashionblogger #aspiringblogger
