I’ve been out sick for the last two days…. So I am posting the questions and the link-up box below and hope to get around to answering these questions later in the day.
1. Do you think there is an incompatibility between feminism and a love for fashion?
2. There is more to each of us than a love for fashion, how do you incorporate every aspect of yourself into your blog?
3. With the fashion industry still being a male-dominated profession, how do you think it would differ if women played a larger role?
4. How is your self-image and the way you carry yourself informed by your beliefs?
5. Do you think clothing/makeup/hair helps communicate the truth about yourself or are those things superfluous add-ons?

Hope you’re feeling better Katy. being sick is no fun.
Thank you for this week’s questions. Fashion and femininity have a tricky, complicated connection, but it’s so important for us to examine their relationship.

I’m a bit overwhelmed this week and this week’s subject doesn’t quite fit in with my blog so I’m sitting this one out but will read what others have written.
Hope you feel better soon sweetheart! Thanks for everything you are doing for us

Feel better, Katy!

I took the liberty of answering this week’s FBFF questions about equalism instead of feminism, as I’m an equalist rather than a feminist
See here: Relatable Style on Equalism
PS: Get well

Katy, I loved this topic. How awesome to hear everyone’s responses!
I felt like these questions were extremely hard. I couldn’t come up with examples or what I thought about them. I guess my mind wasn’t in the correct frame of mind to do it.

I hope you feel better soon!! The questions really threw me this week, but I did my best
Man, this week’s questions were really tough! I’m an avowed, active, agitated feminist, but I have a real hard time squaring that with my love of fashion, so these questions really made me think. Thanks for picking feminism as an FBFF topic — I can’t wait to read some of these answers!

Wow, that was an in-depth one. I wasn’t sure I had much to say on this and then I ended up with War and Peace.
Just goes to show.

I’m so delighted to take part in FBFF for the first time! Thank you for the opportunity to ponder these questions and also for the blog post idea! I have read several of the other entries already including Mrs. Bossa, Those Graces, and Style Eyes and am touched and inspired by honest answers. Look forward to reading more posts.
What a great topic this week. I’ve had a great time answering these questions))
Get well soon <3

I hadn’t thought about feminism for many years. Thanks for tackling this subject. I am slowly reading all of the posts. Very interesting. I love that we can all be so different and still have community in some small way! Cheers!

Hope you get well soon. I am in the hospital if you can beleive it.
Posted mine a day late!
I think my perspective on comments comes more from writing than receive them. I often scan through someone’s comments on a post I connect with and what I want to say is already written. At those times and when I just don’t have enough time or brain left, I often leave short comments, like “Love this look” or “I think your ___ is so pretty”. To me it’s more important to let the person know I love their stuff and what they are creating than to worry about whether or not it’s original. I think it’s important to leave positive feedback even short stuff when I can.
Sarah recently posted..FBFF NKOTB
To a certain extent our responses can really only be as good as the questions, and I must say (as many others have already) you do a fantastic job, Katy! This particular topic was a bit challenging because I am new to fashion blogging, yet it was fun just the same.
I think there are also plenty of “old-timers” who will benefit as well. As a newbie, it’s interesting to see how various bloggers treat their readership — some are friendly and others not so much. Of course some bloggers are very busy with a high traffic, so that must make it difficult to keep up with it all without feeling overwhelmed!
Anyway, thank you Katy & the FBFF network!
