Happy Friday, loves! Are you excited for the weekend? I sure am, especially because I *may* be attending a special event. Details for that coming soon *insert evil smile*

If you have been following my blog for a while, do you remember the Style File series? Essentially, it's a week in my wardrobe where I share looks that I wear pretty regularly. I keep it light too, with no photographer, no special lookbook setup (although I obviously adore lookbooks as well!). But here, it's just me, my phone, and a mirror. The last time I did a style file was back in 2014! I figured I should try and bring it back.

For today's style file, I'm keeping it super casual. Lately I've been super into casual looks, especially with these denim joggers.

The material on these are really nice, they feel much more expensive than they are. I believe they're around $20 at Target and they are a steal. 

What's interesting is when I first bought the joggers, I didn't really wear them much. I liked them when I tried them on in the store, but then when I got home, I was stuck as to how I'd style them. Clearly I got over that. 

This next look is a bit more dressy, but still very casual. 

I love this sweater from H&M. I got it a couple seasons ago and it's still clutch. I throw it on when I want to look put together, but still super comfy.

Also, how cute are these shoes from Forever 21? I have to give a disclaimer though: they are not comfortable. Not in the least. If you plan on doing a lot of walking while wearing these...choose a different pair of shoes lol. But, if you're the kind of gal who likes to sacrifice comfort for fashion, I highly recommend these! They are super cute.

Last but not least is of course, another crop top outfit. What's funny is I wore this top in 2014 in the last Style File series lol! Clearly, this top is a staple in my closet and I love it so much!

There's a special look book post coming out with this outfit though, so this is just a little sneak peak. I'll list details for this outfit in that post, so stay tuned!

That's it! Hope you enjoy the weekend and I'll see you soon!

xoxo,

Pam

I am honored to be a part of it, so let's answer some questions!

1. What inspired you to create your blog?
I wanted a place where I could be myself and do so without apology. Prior to launching Unapologetically Pam, my writing was a reflection of my actual life: edited to please other people. Once I started really deeply thinking about who I am and the type of woman I want to be, I realized that it is one with out regret or apology. I wanted to become myself, unapologetically. And so I did!

2. What are some things that you would like to improve when it comes to blogging?
For myself, it would be scheduling. I'm not on a particular schedule, I write when the inspiration comes. I do try to post at least once a week though.

3. Would you one day like to collaborate with fellow bloggers and/or brands/companies? If so, who?
Absolutely! I want to collaborate with bloggers and brands who promote freedom in creativity, self love, and overcoming the odds. Currently, I've partnered with DivorceForce which is a wonderful online community for folks who are struggling with the various issues that come with walking away from painful situations. I want to do more things like that.

4. How important is it to you to have a specific niche for your blog?
Not. At. All. LOL! But for real, I'm not trying to fit into a box. I can't. There are so many facets to 'Pam' and I want to be able to write about them all, in one spot. That's why I don't brand this as a fashion blog, relationship blog, or educational blog. But you can find all of that content here because all of those things are pieces of who I am and this blog is a reflection of that, unapologetically.

5. What is your absolute top choice of social media that you use to promote your brand?
If I had to choose just one, it would be twitter. There are soooo many networks on there, it's crazy (in a good way!). I particularly love Bloggers of Colour, they are so supportive and wonderful.

Okay, that's it! I couldn't narrow it down to 10, so here's 11 bloggers I admire. I nominate (in no particular order, because these girls all ROCK):

Shea - Shea What's Real
Eimear - The Two Darlings
Melanie - Mattes & Metallics
Cortney - Lively Little Life
DeAndrea - A Sister's Crown
Jasmyn - Jasmyn Ruja
Kaye - Kaye Creates
Liyana - Rouge and Ruche
Lee - Lee Thrifts
Candice - Life in a Pile
Jasmine - Jasmine Diane

Questions I'd like them to answer:
1) What do you do outside of blogging/writing? Or is this your full-time gig?
2) How do you balance freelance writing with everything else in your career?
3) What's your favorite way to wind down at the end of a long day?
4) How has blogging impacted you, positively or negatively?
5) If a celebrity wanted you to write about their life, who would you want it to be and why?

BOOM! That's it, yall! Once you've been nominated, don't forget to tag whoever nominated you in your post. Can't wait to read the responses.

Thanks for reading, everyone!

Unapologetically,
Pam
