One day as I was trying to take new profile pictures I decided I would look on Pinterest on how to pose like a fashion blogger. I thought I was so slick and so good at this, I mean how hard could it be right? WRONG. I came to terms that day that I will never and I mean NEVER be a fashion blogger. My name is Kenji from Kenji is Here and I've narrowed it down to the top 5 reasons I am not a fashion blogger; but honestly there are so many more.

One day as I was trying to take new profile pictures I decided I would look on Pinterest on how to pose like a fashion blogger. I thought I was so slick and so good at this, I mean how hard could it be right? WRONG. I came to terms that day that I will never and I mean NEVER be a fashion blogger. My name is Kenji from Kenji is Here and I've narrowed it down to the top 5 reasons I am not a fashion blogger; but honestly there are so many more.
ONE// Let's just get the blatantly obvious one out of the way... I have no style. I like to wear yoga pants and t-shirts and sometimes tank tops. I think two different patterns belong together sometimes and I think odd colors can match. Basically, when all else fails I stick with black pants and a shirt because everything, but brown, matches black. Once in awhile, after some suggestions from Pinterest, I can pull together a good outfit but besides that...don't come to me for fashion advice.
TWO// I can't take pictures for nothing! I'm awful in front of a camera. I have to take 12 pictures before I'm evenly moderately okay with one picture. I look at fashion bloggers and think, oh sure I could do that, then I try, and then I fail...miserably. I don't get how to pose and with all the Pinterest tutorials I still can't figure it out.
THREE// Let's be real here, I am not a size 2,4,6,8 or anything close to that. I am not blind and I do know plus size models are out there but I also know that there are not many. It's not easy being super stylish as a plus size person; less clothes options and the clothes always look different on a plus size woman. I don't have the time or motivation to try that hard to be fashionable..just being honest.
FOUR// I don't have a wardrobe worth talking about. My wardrobe consists of way too many yoga pants (Which isn't really a thing) t-shirts, tank tops, and a few dresses to wear to work. I don't have fun things to mix and wear different times of days. I don't have crave worthy pants and I own about 2 purses. Is it just me or do fashion bloggers own 30249 purses and clothes for every outfit!? I hate changing from one purse to another. Oh the struggle is real
FIVE// I have not ONE beauty or fashion secret. NOT ONE. I know nothing about fashion, my friends. I always go to fashion bloggers for tips on how to dress better and easy ways to make simple things fashionable and I just don't know how. I only slightly know how because of blogs I've read. What I know is not authentic, it is because I learned it from a fashion blogger. I would have no material.
Basically what I am saying is, be happy I don't blog about fashion because it'd be scary I tell you. It would be a boring blog with no traffic but quite funny pictures. I hope you are all glad I'm a lifestyle blogger and never venture into fashion blogging. Not saying anything is wrong with it just not for me.

How awesome is she, y'all? Seriously. And I'm NOT a fashion blogger either, so I feel like I'm in great company.

Want more Kenji?
Follow along!
:) I'm all about her #1. And I very much agree about the purse swap. I struggle hard when moving from weekday bag to mama weekend bag. I will ALWAYS forget something. Really enjoyed this!
ReplyDeleteI'm the same. At home: jeans or yoga pants & a t-shirt. Out: jeans and a shirt.
ReplyDeleteI could never be a fashion blogger either -- I don't have enough style for that. Give me jeans and flip flops and a t-shirt. That's all I want/need.
ReplyDeleteLove this Kenji!! But what do you mean yoga pants aren't a thing??? :-) I thank God for them.
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Kenji. I'm right there with you, okay?! BUT- I have to say- I think you are totally fashionable and I beg to differ about the whole yoga pants not being "in" - I say we make them in, okay?! #YOGAPANTSFTW ! #COMFORTFOREVER !
ReplyDeleteI just found Kenji a few weeks ago through you! Love her and her blog.
ReplyDeleteisn't she the greatest?! love her so much!!
ReplyDeleteAGREED! let's totally make them in. Everyone wears them anyway, right? lol.
ReplyDeletelol, I think Kenji said having too many yoga pants isn't a thing. ;) LOVE THE YOGA PANTS!
ReplyDeleteSAME! plus I cannot switch purses like that.as much as I want to love clothes, I always go for comfort. lol
ReplyDeleteagreed!! comfort for the win! lol
ReplyDeleteYESSS. eventually I made my purse the mama weekend bag. but sheesh... the switching was always a struggle!
ReplyDeleteOh... But wearing yoga pants might make men lust after us! And that is baaaaaaad! Therefore, we should NOT wear yoga pants.
ReplyDelete*makes a mental note to put on yoga pants when I get home*
haha!!!
ReplyDeleteI love fashion and I love photography, but somehow the two don't mix for me. I attempted a fashion post once, only to have my friend who was photographing me tell me I had to stop making funny faces all the time. I can't do the serious looking into the distance shots to save my life.
