On many blogs, you can see pictures of fashionable looks, celebrity style, videos with advice

and sometimes you can even submit your own blog post Not a writer? It doesn’t matter

Some blogs have style advisors that can help you choose a style you feel confi dent in or can

help you if you feel you dress too ordinary It might be a new hairstyle, a nice suit or just clothes

that are the best colour for you

If you don’t like to stand out in a crowd, you can wear colours like black or white

Blogs sometimes even recommend clothes exchanges for people who prefer to save

money. This means people give you clothes they don’t want, and you give them clothes

you don’t want
