For almost
eight years, I’ve primarily populated Bohemian Brighties with my fashion
adventures and occasionally visual documentations of my travels but never
really on the “real stuff”. I write this blog with hopes to bring a sense of
hopeful whimsy to what I do and obviously life isn’t all la vie en rose. And
yet, there are so many non-whimsical topics that I would like to engage with my
readers. How does Bohemian Brighties evolve when all it has ever been was
just one voice? (the same voice that started with a bored 15 year old with too
many clothes)
Exhibit A of Bohemian Brighties seeing the world through rose tinted sunnies
I wouldn’t say
that I’ve avoided contentious conversation altogether. But there has always
been a solid portfolio of topics left untouched, with the rationalisation that
I as a fashion blogger am not informed or ‘woke’ enough to cover the bases. As much as I really-really want
to talk about the Duck scarves’ critique[1], because
it’s amusing, but I also really-really want to talk about
education, because it’s what I do for a living.
The point
being is that anyone should be able to have an open conversation about topics
that are currently flooding our surroundings without condemnation. Of
course you may think a fashion blogger may not be the best endorsement to be
talking about education or politics. Or that she should stick her nose to what she knows best. But we need to move past that and we can't all be ignorant.
