196 A Labour of Fashion linkups and counting. Holy moly where has the time gone.My baby A Labour of Fashion born on January 10, 2015. It started as a fun gathering every Thursday where ya’all could come hang with me for the day. Today I love to think it is still a fun gathering where we all share our current looks, get inspired and maybe even learn a few new tricks and trends
Fashion Linkups over the years
When i created my link up I worried no one would come visit me. At the time there were lots of link ups. Everyday one could link up with 5 to 10 blogs. Your posts would get seen, you got to meet a ton of bloggers and discover cool new trends. Today there are a lot fewer link ups and I wonder why.
Are people no longer joining? Not participating? For me I love the link ups and seeing who joins. The comments people leave but most of all a cool way to discover new blogs. What’s you feeling? Why do you think they have been vanishing?
Vanheusen Pants and a Checked Shirt
While in New York we hit up the Outlet Mall. Meaning I got to stop at a few of my non Target and non hobby lobby fav stores. Vanheusen always offers up a few treasures. My dotted pants fit like a dream. Over the years I have found that Vanheusen pants suit me, they fit my shape, need no alterations and are very comfy. I may confess to owning several pairs in various patterns and colours.
Accenting Dots, well what goes better thank checks? Today I thought a fun checked shirt seen often on the blog would be fun. Plus how about these shoes? Shoe Dazzle has the cutest brogues/oxfords. These may become a repeat offender.

Oh, those shoes are ADORABLE!!! I love the whole outfit – dotty pants and checked top and black and white shoes – terrific!
And I think the “internet” menu continues to grow. People who used to just visit blogs are now also spending their time on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, PInterest, etc. Blogs have a lot of competition for people’s time and attention!
Thanks for linking up with the Fabulous Friday link up!

Hi Linda
Love the black and white patterned look you created Linda. Those are some cute brogues! I didn’t notice your pants had a pattern until I saw up close, cute! I enjoy the linkup and will keep on hosting as well. I love visiting people’s blogs.

Such a fabulous black and white outfit! I love those brogues! I’ve noticed that quite a few link ups have finished – some new and some established. I know as a host it takes a lot of time to visit each post linked up and leave a comment, so maybe that’s why there aren’t so many. Thanks for joining the Style With a Smile link up 🙂

Hi Linda,
Since I’m relatively new to the Link Up thing, I haven’t noticed, but of course, you veterans do! I love seeing what all the ladies are styling. Like you and your fun sense of fashion!
Today, however, Inlinkz will NOT take my link. It just spins and spins. Not only on your Link Party site but all the others, too. Has this ever happened to you? I’ve been googling but I’m baffled. Tech can be SO fun. Not.

Cheryl Shops says
I’ve been wondering the same thing about linkups—more than half of the ones on my list are no longer happening. But I’m glad you are sticking with it!

Thaks, it is crazy the blog cycles. I will keep mine going because I love seeing everyone’s looks. Worse case scenario I may move it to a Friday but I will still keep sharing
Amy's Fashion Blog says
I think the reason a lot of link ups went away. I do to a lot of people having stop blogging. Plus a lot of blogger are trying to turn there blog in to there job. I still just blog for fun and myself. Vanheusen has awesome sells. I haven’t shopped at one in a long time.

lindaandkent1@gmail.com says
I think you are right, so many are turning to Instagram instead of a blog too. I am still loving what I do and will continue. Vanheusen is a great store with fun looks for men and women
Jennie says
Girl , you have got the black and white thing down pat! I just love your shoes and the pants, of course. 🙂
lindaandkent1@gmail.com says
sorry I am so tardy, IRL I was crazy busy. I am loving this combo this year. Every time I look in my closet I realize oops more of the same yet different
Julie | This Main Line Life says
Great outfit. Looks very “retro” and those shoes are so much fun!!
Ada says
I have wondered the same about the linkups. Though I have personally added two new monthly ones this year (don’t forget to link up today and on Sunday). I remember Thursdays had 5 or 6 of my favorite linkups (prior to mine, yours or Carrie’s) and none of those are around anymore, actually Thursday is a light day for linkups.
I always love when you wear that checkered shirt and I love you in black and white. Those brouges are awesome and remind me of my red+black ones! Have a great weekend my friend!

sorry I am so tardy, IRL I was crazy busy. Thursday’s are crazy as are Wed and Tuesd. So many have disappeared. It is kind of sad cuz is usually means they have stopped blogging.
