This article by
www.dressful.com made me laugh out loud......... :)
1. Wear Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots (this is a
MUST).
2. Wear all your rings at the same time. It doesn't matter if they don't match your outfit.
3. Wear that
Michael Kors oversized golden watch.
4. When you have no new outfit pictures, do a post showcasing your jewelry collection ...
5. ... or publish an
Inspiration Post with 10 completely unrelated pictures and no explanation why you like them. Bonus points if you don't credit the source!
6. Post
50 pictures of one outfit.
7. When you eat out, post badly lit, grainy pictures of restaurant
food.
8. Create the illusion that you wear
super high heels 24/7 by including them in every outfit shoot.
9. Wear
crosses (regardless of your religion or lack thereof).
10. Have a
photographer boyfriend with DSLR camera in auto-mode follow you everywhere.
11. Put up a
disclaimer saying you'll let your readers know if you're paid or compensated to endorse a certain brand or product. Then don't.
12. Wear so many "
it" designer items at once that you end up looking like you got your outfit at H&M.
13. Host sponsored
giveaways. To enter, people must be your
fans on Facebook, follow you on Blogger, Google Friend Connect and Twitter, subscribe via Bloglovin and like the sponsor's Facebook page.
They should also leave a comment listing their favourite item from an online store they don't care about, as well as describing what they would wear it with. Oh, and the giveaway is open to US and Canada residents only!
14. Post pictures of yourself in your
bedroom. Pose on your bed to hide the fact that your room is cluttered and untidy.
15. To get more visits,
spam other blogs with two-word comments like "great outfit" followed by links to your blog, Twitter and Facebook pages.
16. Post ecstatic quasi-reviews of collections from the
brands you want to sponsor you.
17. Wear geeky
black thick-rimmed glasses. Applies especially if you have perfect eyesight and are not actually a geek!
18. Design a (shoe, clothing, handbag)
collection consisting of items you wouldn't look twice at if you saw them in a store.
19. Dress differently in everyday life than in outfit pictures.
20. Own iPads, iPhones and Blackberries. Brag about them regularly by using them in your outfit pictures as "
accessories".
21. Be
model pretty.
22. ... Better yet, be a
model.
23. Stand pigeon-toed in outfit photos and pose with your head tilted at a 45 degree angle.
24. Post outfits composed entirely of
gifted pieces.
25. Wear pieces you wouldn't touch with a ten-foot pole if they weren't gifted.
26. Wear the same pieces as all other fashion bloggers to show off your
unique personal style.
27. Add 3 to 5 (same) links to your blog below an annoying
spam comment.
28. "
Curate" your clothes collection. If you don't know what that means (and who really does?), use the verb "curate" extensively whenever you talk about fashion.
29. Lots of
fringe on your bag, jacket sleeves and pants. When in doubt, add more.
30. Adopt a "
French chic" / gamine / garçonne minimalist look.
31.
Re-create (copy) outfits worn by popular fashion bloggers. Tweet them the link to the post.
32. Always wear the same make-up. Five bonus points if it doesn't suit your facial features, your outfit and/or the time of the day.
33. Boast around wearing your
Alexander McQueen skull ring.
34. Use a cute
fluffy animal as an accessory in outfit photos.
35. When they're doing a feature on your style, list at least one piece from a collaboration you did with whatever brand as "
must-have".
I have to say that a LOT of blogs that I read, do fulfil these Tips..... and occasionally myself included........
