Beyond the Hanger: Redefining My Style and My Life


Hello everyone!

First and foremost, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for being a part of my blogging journey over these past 8 years. It's been a while since my last update, and I appreciate your patience and continued support. I know I haven't been as active on social media and my blog lately, and I wanted to take a moment to share some reflections on how my life and interests have evolved during this time.

When I first started my blog, I was just a teenager with a passion for fashion and styling. I thoroughly enjoyed dressing up and staying on top of the latest trends. However, as the years have passed, my life has taken me in different directions, and my priorities have shifted. It's important for me to be authentic and transparent with you all, and that's why I'm sharing these changes in my journey.

While I still appreciate fashion and styling, I'm no longer as invested in following the latest trends. This realization has left me feeling somewhat confused about the content I should be creating. I want to be honest with you all - even though fashion is a topic that many of you want to see more of from me, I'm finding it challenging to create that type of content.

I believe that as we progress through life, our interests and passions can change, leading us to discover new and unexpected pursuits. While fashion still holds a place in my heart, it's no longer my primary passion. In fact, I've found joy in simplifying my wardrobe and embracing a more minimalistic lifestyle. This is something my teenage self would never have imagined.

There was a time when I never repeated outfits and constantly sought new attire for every occasion. But as my closet began to overflow, I realized the burden of excess possessions and how it was affecting my life. I started decluttering and gradually embraced the principles of minimalism – intentionally living with fewer possessions and focusing on what truly matters.

Am I a full-fledged minimalist now? Not quite, but I'm definitely a work in progress. Over the past three years, I've significantly reduced my shopping habits and have been actively decluttering my belongings, keeping only the items that hold genuine value for me. This transformation has been both challenging and rewarding, and it's a journey I'm excited to continue.

During this transitional period, I've struggled with defining my content and what I want to share with all of you. But I've come to a realization – I'm still evolving, and that's perfectly okay. I may not have all the answers right now, but I'm eager to document and share this ongoing journey with all of you.

So, am I still a fashion blogger? I'd say I'm more of a lifestyle blogger now, focusing on the changes and experiences that are shaping my life. While I can't predict what my next post will be about, I'm thrilled to embark on this new chapter and share it with you all.

I want to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for your unwavering support over the past 8 years. Your encouragement has meant the world to me, and I can't wait to see where this journey leads us next.

Thank you for being a part of my story.☺

Until next time, please keep hustling for your dreams.
Xo, Jessi
