Why I Love Blogging - Reason #157

I love blogging and reading stalking other blogs for hundreds of reasons, but for times sake, let's just focus on reason #157 today. 

Being part of this crazy community has empowered me to shop off others.  It's like one ginormous, real-life, fashion catalog documenting a smorgasbord of styles, stores, ideas and looks without having to leave the comfort of my little, roller chair.  I would like to re-emphsize "REAL-LIFE" fashion...not a stick thin, 5'10" unobtainable, model posing in a dress.

Back to the moral of the story. I must be honest here, I did not come across this top from reading an actual blog, but I did discover it through a blogger's Instagram post.  Tara from Mix and Match Fashion shared this cotton, bird filled, beauty on IG last week and I knew I had to have it. I confessed to you on Wednesday that I was becoming a tad bit consumed with the bird print. Well, I now you know that I don't tell stories and I am pretty good at backing up my words. What can I say, there is something about little birdies soaring across my body that gets me a giddy.

Tara, thank you for sharing on Instagram and causing my bank account to become a few dollars shorter than the previous balance. I told you in my comment that I needed it now!!  Again, I don't tell stories...only the truth!

There you go, Reason #157 of why being a blogger stalker has it's perks!

Have you shopped off another blogger lately?  If so, what treasure did you discover?

Cheers to "Shogging". Get it?  Shopping + Blogging = Shogging! Okay, maybe not the most clever!
