24 Signs You Should Be a Fashion Blogger
There’s no doubt that living the fashion blogger lifestyle is definitely an intriguing idea—who wouldn’t want to be in beautiful photos, get gifted with amazing designer swag, and go on luxurious vacations? But just because the highlight reel looks great, doesn’t mean being a successful blogger is a cake walk.
This influencer lifestyle is no joke—it's a full-time job and then some. When portraying your life on social media is also your job, that kind of equates to your job being your life. Sounds daunting, but to some, that's the dream, and if you align with the kind-of-silly, kind-of-serious unofficial criteria below, you might want to consider turning that hobby of yours into a full-time thing.
