As Memorial Day kicks off summer, one of the things that comes to mind, well the lack of mind when it’s gorgeous out. I don’t know about you, but when it’s gorgeous out, all I can think about is going out and enjoying the long summer days. Inspiration can be fleeting.  If you’re committed to staying focused on creating new content for your blog and staying out of a rut, avoid the summer blues and read this list of thirty-one posts you can try out:

• Your Outfit: What are you wearing right now? How can it help your readers stay inspired about their wardrobe?
• A Friend’s Outfit: Who inspires you the most? Maybe they don’t have a blog… maybe it’s time to get them on yours!
• Recent Purchase: Did you buy something recently? Well, do share with us!
• What’s on your wish list: Ok, we all want something, what are you searching for? Floral dresses, button down shirts? Sandals? What are your picks right now?
• DIY project: Even for the most un-crafty such as myself… it’s good to see DIY tricks from all levels.
• Recreate a look: Saw an outfit you loved and was able to recreate it from what’s in your closet. That’s a story!
• Trends that mean something to you: Pick a trend and personalize it, it might make for a compelling post.
• Your favorite item of clothing at the moment: What are you loving in your closet right now? The thing you can’t live without? Your absolute best purchase and why.
• A fashion problem you have.. Having a hard time finding flattering jeans? Maxi dresses for petites?
• A solution you found… How did you find the perfect pair of jeans? Do tell!
• Your closet: How do you keep your clothes?
• Your mom’s closet, friends… etc. Do you have an organizational whiz for a mom? Maybe do a comparison!
• Your home: Sometimes we like to get to know how you live!
• A trip you took or are taking: How do people dress, where did you shop? What did you see? It can be the next town over or across the globe, it’s always nice to see somewhere new!
• What you pack for a trip: Even going to the beach? What do you bring?
• Holidays! Every month has one, Memorial Day is this weekend… Expect a post from me about it!
• Family photos: What did your mom look like in the 70′s? Gran in the 40′s? It’s always great to see vintage pics with a personal touch.
• A family heirloom: Grandma’s ring, Mom’s shoes, Aunties suede leather skirt. All pieces you can style in and make for a great post.
• A shop you frequent: What’s your favorite local boutique? I’m sure they’d love the coverage!
• Tell the story about an outfit you wore on an important day: What did you wear on your first day with your husband/boyfriend? What did you wear to your graduation? On your 16th birthday? Can you recreate it and tell the story about why the day was special to you?
• What you wear on your days off: Do you slum it? Or dress to the nines?
• What you wear to work: Do you wear a uniform? Do you have to be corporate? Dress down? How do you dress for your work identity?
• What you wear to bed: This can be a racy post if you wear nothing… but if not, what kind of sleep wear would you recommend to your readers?
• What you wear to the gym… Ok I can think of a million posts along these lines. Are you the kind of person who wears an old tee shirt and shorts or one who wears matching sports bras with leggings?
• What magazine are you loving this month? Does Vogue have a great article this month or did you find a great new magazine?
• What’s your favorite blog this month? Share the love…we all love finding new blogs.
• Books: Read a fashion related book and post about it.
• Film: Write about a film that inspired your style.
• Museums: Talk about how an exhibit inspired you.
• Concerts: Music and fashion often go hand in hand.
• Theater: Have you seen a play recently? What were the costumes like? How do they compare with film?

Hey, and if all else fails, you can always write a list post.

Happy Friday!
