So again, I am essentially a brand new baby when it comes to blog-land.
I have followed many, peeked in on many, and then essentially hid.
However, now that the times are a’changing, I have a few things to say.
The first of those things is:
meggstatus.







Until maybe two weeks ago {give or take} I found out about and joined Chictopia.
It is truly amazing.
Not only is it an entire community dedicated to street fashion {I guess that’s what it’s called?}, but it is the most glorious land of inspiration you could imagine.
Mainly, because of folks like meggstatus.
Don’t get me wrong.
I love a real, shiny, expensive, drolly high-fashion mag/blog/what-have-you.
But what seriously gets my blood hot is ladies {and gentlemen, ahem} who are absolute thrift-masters.
True artists.
It’s not as easy as a trend. It’s not as easy as a mall. It’s not as easy an Olsen Twin.
It’s really fucking hard.
But it is the most rewarding thing (in my opinion) to find even one absolute treasure on a day of thrifting.
And that’s still not even half the battle.
Looking at a closet full of items from different people, lifetimes, decades, and countries can be so overwhelming when it comes to putting together something that is cohesive, comfortable, and not flat-out disgusting or tacky.
It can also take a toll on your editing skills. It is an easy temptation to just try everything. All at once.
And meggstatus has perfected the art.

Fortunately, places like Chictopia, Weardrobe, Lookbook.nu, and just all of our blogs in general {essentially: the world wide web. Thanks, 1996.} remind us how amazing it truly is to not only be thrifty, but incredibly chic, inspirational, stylish, lovely, rule-breaking sons of bitches.
So cheers to us.
And cheers to you, meggstatus.
