So Long, Farewell (For Now!)

October 12

I’m going to take a break. A real one. I’m not sure for how long or when I’ll be back. Might be a week, might be a couple months. Blogging is supposed to be fun, but for right now, it’s not. And honestly, it’s not you, it’s me. You have been nothing but supportive and a wonderful blessing. But I need to step back for a while. I’ll miss you.

Be well.

XOXO

I wish you the best, and do know I fully and completely understand. Blogging can bring out the best and worst in one, and it can be a mild hobby or encompass way too much of one's life and soul. I have taken mini breaks and it has helped it become fun again. Love your blog, will miss you, and if you ever want to talk offline, lemme know :)

Take care Erin. I'm going to miss you!

Cara said...

Aw, I've been missing your posts as of late, as they've become less frequent. While the break doesn't come as a complete surprise, it does still make me sad!

Kayla Rochelle said...

I completely understand the need for a blog-cation, and possibly a blog-leave of absence. I will miss see your posts each week, but I'll keep checking back for your return!

I will miss you too!

Why was I thinking that your blog post title was a song? I play a little game when your post titles pop up in my google reader.

I say the title out loud, hoping that just once it will be a song I know.

So, Imagine me trying to hum out today's blog post title. I'm like...DAMNIT! I don't know that song either!

Then I read the post....bummer. But trust me when I say that I understand! I've slowed down alot now with my post.

Unlike these other suckas...I HAVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER! So, I can check on you whenever I want to. *sticks tongue out*

*Just kidding...to the other suckas*

You be well....and I just heard this morning that it is in the Dallas paper that H&M is coming to Northland Park Mall!?!? ROAD TRIP!

If it is true, you will be meeting me there when it is open! I DEMAND IT! And when I get there let the stroking of your hair and the stroking of my skin ensue!!!

Franca said...

Aaaww. Best of luck and we will miss you!

I do hope you'll come back!
I understand and appreciate taking a break from blogging. If it's not fun, you shouldn't do it. I hope to see you around soon!!

You will be missed. Enjoy your break. Hopefully you will feel refreshed and want to come back sooner than later.

I know how you feel, blogging can feel like a burden sometimes. I agree, it's supposed to be fun. So take all the time you need. You will be missed!

Enjoy the break... I will miss your posts. I've always enjoyed your honest approach to fashion blogging. Come back soon!

You will be missed, but it is completely understandable when one wants to take a sabatical from one's regular routine; I will check in periodically to see if you return. If not, wishing you all the best life has to offer!

Sharon Gaye said...

Erin, Have a fun and relaxing break. I miss you already. Come back soon (but only when and if it feels right). You are special and important and need to come first.
Bye for now.

Take care, Erin. I know I haven't commented before, but I'll still miss you! Hope things go well for you.

estrella said...

Take care. I had to stop it, too (not that I lasted too long), so I understand. I'll miss your posts though!

Sheila said...

You said it right there, hon: blogging is supposed to be fun. If you're not having fun, step back, take care of yourself, and come back when you need to. We'll be here. :)

Cheers,
Sheila
