Oh hello, my lovely ladies (and gentleman). I should have done this at the beginning, but here’s a quick little outline on the code of conduct for the comments queue.

1. Keep comments positive! If you wouldn’t have worn it the way I did, that’s fine! But I’m not looking for pointers! Everyone has a unique sense of style and I like mine just the way it is!

2. No back and forth. Short hair! long hair! Sexier! Sweeter! Bolder! Badder! Uht uhh. Drop it.

3. Weight is not up for debate. Mine, yours or that girl over there.

4. If you have personal issues, please e-mail me instead of airing your complaints to the world.

UPDATE: In reference to point #1, imagine you were walking down the street, hallway or in an elevator and someone came up to you and said “OH! I LOVE YOUR SHOES… but the rest of your outfit isn’t really that great” and hopped on her way. That is how I feel about sassy comments that aren’t positive. I’d rather no one stopped me in the street than to be stopped by half insulting comments. I opened up comments because so many people gave me feedback that they’d like to see them. And I welcome feedback! Last week I asked for pointers for the blog and I got (and answered) over 200 e-mails plus over 100 comments . But there is a difference between feedback and being critical (and I don’t mean constructively critical). I’m not a fan of the later from comments on What I Wore or in real life. I am a real person, this is not a fashion magazine and if you’re truly attempting to be helpful and constructive, you’ll send me a private e-mail.
