Guest Post: No Guilt Fashion - Dressing For The Holidays

One of the fun things about the Fashion Beauty Friend Friday group, besides all the cool discussions and questions, is the blog exchange that is going on today among the members. I am excited to participate and see what everyone comes up with! I am also extremely pleased to have Danie from No Guilt Fashion share one of her holiday outfits with everyone. I'll be over on her blog talking about the same so please take a look. Enjoy the rest of your holiday weekend!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I'm Danie from No Guilt Fashion. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to get to guest post for the lovely Iris. I know she has some wonderful readers, and I hope you take a second to come over to my blog so I can get to know you too.

What I want to show you today, is what I will be wearing for one of my holiday parties. Hope to inspire you as you dress for the season. I don't usually get invited to big, flashy holiday parties, so I'm keeping the look simple yet fun. I picked a dark red dress, and paired it with some fun tights. One trend I'm really liking this year is patterned tights. I chose simple accessories and shoes, because, the tights can speak for them self.

Friend Friday: Highlighting The Negative

1. Do you post pictures on your blog, or would you if the opportunity came along, of people with poor fashion//beauty sense?

I don't post pictures of anyone else on my blog except for myself. I tend not to post the outtakes but, I am still toying with the idea... Even if I did post pictures of other people I wouldn't do so to highlight people's poor fashion sense, it seems a bit cruel.

2. Do you read any blogs that highlight the bad? Why?

To be honest, I didn't even know that these blogs existed. Perhaps in the celebrity worst dressed sense but, not criticizing everyday fashion bloggers. Generally speaking, occasionaly I will glance at Fail Blog or something like that but, mostly when prompted to do so by someone else (i.e posted on my FB wall)

3. Should these bloggers get permission to post the pictures from the subject in the same way the street-style blogs do?

I think so, people should be able to choose how they are presented to the world. The put themselves out into the great wide internet but, they do so on their terms. When someone else takes their pictures without permission or disclosure it's wrong. I hope no one does that to me...

4. As human beings we are fascinated with disasters - of all sorts - why do you think that is? How to the blogs/websites that highlight the negative thrive?

I think that the first statement answers the second. Some people seem to be drawn to "disaster" like a moth to flame. It's like reality TV! I'm not sure why it is but, people seem to be amused by watching the mayhem that is these other people's lives...

5. For many, fashion is subjective. Do you think, there can be anything that is objectively bad in the fashion world?

I feel like a broken record, although I'm not sure I've said it here, but, things that don't fit and are unflattering are bad period.
