Jessica Galfo of Dressed by Jess is definitely not your average fashion blogger. The blog isn’t just about her outfits, it’s an “everyday style guide to empower others to dress easy, glamorous, and chic through style tips and tricks.” Living by the principle, “life is a celebration so we should dress for the occasion,” her blog uniquely encourages readers to find harmony between clothes and their personality. I’ve had the pleasure of watching Jess’ blog grow over the past year and working with her many times, so I’m super excited to share her blogging journey with you today!
What inspired you to start Dressed by Jess?
On average, how much time do you spend working on your blog each week?
It varies every week depending on how much I post. There’s a lot more ‘behind the scenes’ work that goes into a blog that many people do not think about (i.e. learning how to use new software and analytics to optimize the blog’s performance, shooting each look, editing and resizing photos…etc). I would say on average about 2 hours a day.
What social media platform has helped you grow your blog the most and why?
What’s the best way to build a loyal blog following?
What bloggers do you admire and why?
How would you define your style?
What’s your go-to outfit?
What’s your top fashion pet peeve?
Hmmm. This question stumped me because I try to keep an open-mind when it comes to trends and unique style choices. What works for one person, might not work for others. However, if I have to name one pet peeve I think it would be socks with sandals…
Favorite timeless fashion trend?
Ahhh the word timeless makes my soul happy. You can never go wrong with ladylike skirts, a tucked in blouse, and vintagey jewelry. This look has been around for decades, and I truly don’t ever think it will go out of style. As a side note, animal prints are timeless fashion trends as well. You can treat them like a neutral to pull an outfit together, and since the prints are usually made of beige, browns, and blacks- you can wear them for any season. Just remember to take animal prints in small doses. Don’t over do it. Have fun with your looks!
