I think it comes down to vanity being more self obsessed as opposed to being comfortable with who you are because the latter is always attractive!<br />I use Xeroderm SPF its in a orange bottle from Dischem .. it worked wonders for my skin but I was told you have to check with your doctor if you want to use it because it is for super sensitve skin xNats ~Coral Tinted Perceptionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176952796396931623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527882307159437820.post-63584131578576663892013-08-23T10:25:57.480+02:002013-08-23T10:25:57.480+02:00This was food for thought.

I think he is so correct about distinguishing the difference. I'm off to google more about blogger related poses.

I only do about one outfit post a week but even then it takes confidence to put it up and I think that helps define the line between vanity and confidence. Confidence is putting yourself out there and willing to accept critique from readers whereas vanity is thinking you are better then others and aren't able to handle constructive criticism. <br /><br />I recently had a scary moment while in the UK a top photographer who has photographed goddesses like Nicole Scherzinger etc took an hour to look over my blog and critique it. I was a ball of nerves to say the least. Overall his opinion was positive but I will learn from what he said. <br /><br />When I asked for his main tip for fashion bloggers in general it was be a blogger don't think you are a model. Even if you are a model by profession if you blog then use fashion blogger relateable poses not model poses.<br /><br />Fashion bloggers= Confidence<br />Model poses= Thinking you are better and something you are not<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.onestilettoatatime.com" rel="nofollow">xoxo Abby</a>One Stiletto At A Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392262251115874341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527882307159437820.post-22057103219089178152013-08-22T21:58:23.672+02:002013-08-22T21:58:23.672+02:00Well, I guess it depends on the context the photo ...Well, I guess it depends on the context the photo is in. If you have a pic of yourself just for the sake of it, and it has nothing to do with the post. Then it might be a bit awkward. I started out cropping my head out of the photos I took for my blog, but then I realised that I'm already putting myself out there, what I look like shouldn't matter. If you want to post photos of yourself, then do. If not, don't.

I am also so nervous that people who know me in real life will read it and judge me. And I often don't post too much about my life in case strangers judge me. <br />I need a little confidence for my blog it seems!Claudzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05179782146973363335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527882307159437820.post-66156105510843128382013-08-20T13:35:15.895+02:002013-08-20T13:35:15.895+02:00Hi dear, excellent topic, I also never post pictur...Hi dear, excellent topic, I also never post pictures of myself. I think the different between confidence and vanity is that confidence exudes a self assurance in a healthier way, where as vanity has a certain arrogance factor to it.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07925023568867910705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527882307159437820.post-78419715050991474512013-08-20T08:43:21.118+02:002013-08-20T08:43:21.118+02:00Great post and such an interesting topic for debat...Great post and such an interesting topic for debate...Finding your voice is one of the toughest parts. There’s a fine line between confidence and vanity—and as people, we can tell the difference in a second. We know it’s a tricky balance to strike. On the one hand you have to sell yourself, and on the other, be genuine. But attention to a few details can make sure your personality presents you as someone talented and eager—not boastful and vain. Hope this helps! Much love :) xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01902303177963062397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527882307159437820.post-75114750638046476182013-08-20T07:46:11.543+02:002013-08-20T07:46:11.543+02:00Hey Meghan,

However I do post pictures from my life, past and present, on my blog because after all, the blog is about me and it's far from any kind of fashion blogs. There's no harm in putting up pictures of yourself when you feel like you look amazing or you want us to see into your life. <br />I haven't really come across any vain bloggers, more like bloggers who know who they are and what they want out of their blog. <br />Lisa-Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059952086651747175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-527882307159437820.post-15494947374504836172013-08-20T07:04:27.727+02:002013-08-20T07:04:27.727+02:00Yeah you are totally right Lindsey.
