Why I'll Never Be A Fashion Blogger {Part 2} // Laughs

I wrote a little mini-rant back in April entitled F&%king "Fashion" and Why I'll never be a fashion blogger and it went off like a frog in a sock. Apparently I'm not alone in my disgust for some of today's "fashion". Right now the fucking feral interesting jackets I referenced from Target are being cleared out for less than half price. Surprising? No. Why they were retailed in the first place? We'll never know. Personally, I think the murder of innocent bedspreads needs to be thoroughly investigated. I demand a Royal Commission, dammit!


Moving on from that, I wanted to have another fashion-related whinge. It has been a while since my last one after-all, and this just wouldn't be my blog if I wasn't having a sook about something from time to time!

This time my target is the Outfit of the Day posts you see around the place, mainly on Instagram and Facebook. Now I don't mind checking out everyone's #ootd and #everydaystyle posts, but I just don't know how those who participate do it! And what I really want to know is, that outfit, do you wear that for the majority of the day? Like, do you go from PJs, to your outfit, straight back to your PJs just before bed?

Or, like myself and countless other people (Emily being one who I am certain of!) do you have "home clothes", the clothes that you were when you're kicking around home and would never actually leave the house in? That you wear most of the day but only take a pic of the outfit you wear out of the house?.

Can you believe this little floral gems are currently on clearance at Target? Shocking right?!

And if that's the case, does that not defeat the idea behind #everydaystyle or I do have the wrong idea about it? I genuinely want to know. The thing is, I really admire people who don't spend every day dressed in their dags even when they aren't going anywhere. I wish I could be like that, but I just can't be bothered. I only have so many fucks I can give, and I need to save them for the important stuff.

Like how many coffees is too many and can I have another one even though it's only 10am and I've already had 2? Or for the yelling discipline I seem to be having to dish out to Punky every 5 minutes because apparently "Please don't do that. Please stop doing that Punky. I said No! NO! Stop Punky!" just isn't clear enough that no, you can't bloody well hang off the back of the cheap K-mart high-chair while your sister is in it, because you may well sling-shot her across the room (especially if her Father has put her in there, because the idiot lovely man never does up the god-damn buckles!).

I need what little brainpower I have to be wiley enough to make it look like I am standing in the kitchen doing nothing, when in actual fact I am writing blog posts or faffing on Facebook on my laptop that I have cunningly disguised to look like mess that I am cleaning. Because you know the minute I sit down at the desk and look like I might be doing something that I actually enjoy, that's when both children will decide that they must attach themselves to me and serenade me with a three-part harmony of whinging (I say three because Zee is especially talented at this).

All of these very important things leave me with little time or care factor to put in to clothing and outfits. So I pretty much wear the same thing day in and day, only changing one pair of trackies for another once they get to a point where even the furniture is horrified at the thought of me coming near it with it's accessories of snot, vomit, wee and mooshed up bits of arrowroot biscuit.

Even when I do leave the house, unless it's for a super special occasion such as this, I mostly wear my Mum uniform of jeans and a t-shirt. The only saving grace of course is that I have a wee obsession with scarves, and so own an entire drawer-full, with which I use to cover-up aforementioned snot, vomit, wee and mooshed up bits of arrowroot biscuit.

If I'd have known pre-kids just how handy scarves would be in covering a multitude of stain sins I would have invested in 2 more drawers worth!

So anyway, I thought it might be fun to document my own #ootd and #everydaystyle in true Kylie-"Keepin it real"-style and document it here on the blog for you all. Because I know how desperate you are to see the very latest in arrowroot-coloured coture. Chomping at the bit, to be sure! So here it is, a week in the life of Kylie's Keepin' it Real, Everyday Style (gonna trademark that shit!)...

Yep. That's right. 2 out of 7 days I remembered to take a picture. And as you can see, not much changes from one picture to the next except for a different shirt, and some awesome new toes socks so that I can now wear my thongs in winter! And the fact that I bothered to do a little cleaning of Punky's room. These two pictures pretty much sum up my weeks worth of outfits, and so it really doesn't matter that I only remembered to take two. Plus, I've spared you from my having to be blinded by my shockingly bad "can't take an outfit pic for shit" photography.

You're welcome!

Do you play along with the outfit of the day, everyday style or other fashiony-type stuff on IG, FB and the rest? Or are you woefully unstylish and well and truly entrenched in your SAHM/WAHM/just-can't-be-fecked wardrobe of trackies and/or jeans and tees?
