| Friday Fun Fact! Today I'm thinking about an oldie but goodie, You Don't Have To Be Pretty. When I first read that post on the blog A Dress A Day by Erin McKean way back in 2006*, it blew my mind. I love pretty dresses, and the idea that a pretty dress blog was telling me that I did not have to be pretty was weirdly uplifting! And it's true, pretty is fun, but it has nothing to do with our worth or value as humans. This post came to mind again recently when I saw it wrongly attributed to Diana Vreeland (as far as I know, she wasn't a blogger) and I wanted to credit the actual author. Plus it's always good to bring back some body positivity! Go check it out! Read Erin's entire blog post here! * That's 16 years! And that's almost 7,480 years in Internet Years! |
