Fashion Blogging Dos and Don’ts
Many fashion lovers spend hours a week trying on
clothes, matching outfits to shoes and creating new looks.
Often, they take pictures of themselves and put them
online. Some fashion lovers even turn this into
a career.
“Fashion really interests me,” said Hannah Lawson, a
young blogger from London, “but when I started posting
my favourite looks online, I discovered the benefits of
being a fashion blogger. I get free products and earn
money from blogging.”
