It’s a new year, so I thought I would re-introduce myself and relmstyle. I want to start by giving you an understanding of why I blog and my goals for relmstyle.
About ten years ago, I had the idea to start a fashion blog. Mostly because I loved fashion and had left the industry about twelve years prior, but I still wanted to stay connected. Fashion and style are my passion and my way of self-expression. I know what you’re thinking, relmstyle is only a year old. Well, you are right. I made all the excuses in the world to not start my blog (which I don’t recommend doing). Fast-forward to a year ago; I’m working a ton at work with no creative outlet, mainly unfulfilled. I read the book Girlboss, which inspired me just to say “Fuck it” and start my blog. I should say, I had a ton of support from my family and boyfriend.
So it’s been a year, and I’m thinking about the goals that I have for relmstyle. I’m also learning a lot about myself through my blog, which inspires me daily. My goal with relmstyle is not only to have a creative outlet for my passion for fashion and style, but it’s to inspire all of you. Yes, you! I’ve always loved helping people with style and what to wear, but it’s been mostly with family and friends. Relmstyle allows me to share style tips and ideas, outfit combinations, sales, where to shop, and pieces that I find interesting. Even if you aren’t in sync with my style, my hope is that something I show you will excite you to have the style that is true to you.
Now I wanted to share some fun facts about me:
- Nerd Alert! Yes, I’m a bit of a nerd, which mostly comes out in a couple of ways. The first being my love for Star Wars. I’m not talking about your casual fan that goes to see the movies, I read the novels (canon) and watch several youtube channels on the subject. If you ever want to talk Star Wars, I’m your gal. The second is that I love board games. When I say board games, I don’t mean the traditional games such as monopoly and taboo (although, I do enjoy them too). I play board games that you have to buy on the internet and your local comic book/game store. However, I’m happy that Target is starting to carry a better selection of board games. I want to point out that I disagree with the Merriam-Webster definition of a nerd. You can be stylish and attractive as a nerd.
- I’m honest. If you ask my opinion on something, you will need to make sure you are ready for my answer. One of my pet-peeves is when someone gives me advice based on what they think I want to hear. Conversations can be uncomfortable, but what I don’t want around me or want to be is a “yes” man. I want honesty from people, so I give honesty to people.
- I genuinely believe in dressing for yourself. So many years of my youth have been spent worrying about what others will think of what I wear. Now, I only dress the way I want to dress. Often my boyfriend will tell me that he doesn’t like my shoes, but I still wear them because I love them. That is all that matters.
- Speaking of shoes, I’m obsessed with shoes. Jeans and coats would be a close follow behind shoes. I think shoes are a work of art that you wear on your feet. They can be basic or outrageous, I will appreciate them. There’s not a day that goes by where I’m not obsessing over a pair of shoes that I saw online. I have shoes in selves, cupboards, and drawers. This many pairs of shoes are excessive, but as I said, I’m obsessed.
So now that you know me a little better, I’m curious about you. Leave a comment with a fun fact about yourself.
