ONE YEAR

Share
Tuesday was the one-year anniversary of my first blog post on Little Miss Fearless.
In the past year of blogging I have had good days and bad. I’ve been inspired and discouraged. And I’ve had many days where I wanted to quit altogether. But then I’d remember the simple idea that inspired me to start blogging in the first place. It was the idea that I didn’t have to be perfect to inspire you. I just needed the courage to give it a try. 
On my quest to fearlessness, I have learned to listen less to my critics and listen more to myself. I don’t expect every reader to love every outfit, nor do I expect everyone to understand my fears and insecurities. But I hope when you read my blog that you feel encouraged and inspired. And not just by the fashion (although, that’s the fun part) or because you think I’m perfect (I’m not even close), but because you see the courage in my ability to deal with my imperfections. If you’re burdened by your insecurities, I hope you know I believe in you. I can relate to you. I am cheering for us in the fight against our fears.
xoxo

Amanda

  7. Congrats on your blog birthday!! My 2-year is today ๐Ÿ™‚ As long as you keep loving it, I wouldn't let anyone discourage you. Instead of listening to your critics look at all the people who follow and love your blog. You've only been around a year and you have a larger following than some people get in five. That's because you're a great blogger and should keep doing it as long as you're inspired and loving it ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy Blog Birthday!

  8. Congrats! I love your fun use of colors – it has made me think about what I buy for myself and step outside of the usual boring neutrals I usually gravitate toward since I am not "old" ;)! And you are as cute as button. It takes a lot to put one's self out there like you do so never doubt the courageous nature of that.

  19. SO exciting! Congrats!

    BTW Don't you love how you can look at a collection of your outfits and realize that you pic the same colors and your style never really changes? I did this for my six month mark and really saw that I wear the same things over and over haha

    Don't stop posting!

  24. I absolutely agree! I have been blogging for around 6 months, and started to get over my fear of putting myself out there and stepping out of my comfort zone. You inspire me so much! You are so right, we all need to embrace our insecurities and be strong in the people we are. NO ONE IS PERFECT! And I think sometimes sharing our insecurities on our blog helps other people realize that not everyone is perfect!
    You are awesome Amanda!

    I adore all of your outfits, they're so cute, but my favorite is that one where you're wearing the pink pants with the stripey top. And all of the ones where you're wearing your hunter boots!

    Congratulations, Amanda! I was very inspired by reading this post. I would never have guessed by your unique and wonderful style that you had fears and insecurities. I guess we all do. I have recently gained a lot of weight from a thyroid problem after having been thin and toned all my life. I have been forced to recognize my other traits that I like about myself and not just my figure. We all have imperfections. But it is our beauty from inside that truly matters most. Fashion should be a fun way to express yourself. I am so glad you disregarded those critics. So glad you made it to one year and you're going to keep going! Very inspired and encouraged by you!!

  31. I think you're wonderful and I love the fact that you have the courage to share yourself with all of us in such a public light! I still struggle with my posts, ruminating and picking apart every negative aspect. I hope that I can learn to embrace my imperfections the way you do because when you're as confident as you are, nobody even sees those imperfections. ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy blog anniversary!
