Suffer for Fashion

Sorry, but this blog isn’t being updated anymore! Check out my new blog for current fash-obsessions: Shoe Gazing.

Suffer for Fashion is the ramblings of a fashion addict who may be just a little crazy. Contrary to what the name might suggest, I do not believe in suffering for fashion; quite the opposite, in fact. If you do not feel comfortable in your clothes, you will look it, and looking uncomfortable is never good style. I named my blog after an Of Montreal song, partly because music is one of my other obsessions in life. I hail from the glorious state of California (born and raised!), and I’ve lived in Northern California in the Bay Area my entire life.
