How long have you been blogging?
I’ve been blogging since April 2012 so just a little over two years.

How did you choose a name for your blog?
I came up with my blog name, Kacie’s Kloset, because my name is Kacie and my blog focuses on my personal outfits I put together using items from my closet.

When you started Kacie’s Kloset, what did you have in mind?
When I started my blog, I just wanted a place to share my outfits, give people a little fashion inspiration, and make them smile or laugh at what I write.

Has it stayed pretty true to that original idea? How has it evolved?
Yes, I think my blog has stayed true to the original idea. Although, I have been thinking about adding a few beauty posts. Many people have been asking for a hair tutorial.

What made you want to share your personal style?
Working from home, I felt like a lot of my cute outfits went to waist. My dogs just didn’t seem to appreciate my good outfits and my husband didn’t have much of an opinion on them either. I love sharing my love for fashion with other fashionistas.
-
How would you describe your fashion sense?
I’d describe my style as dressy-casual. I wear a lot of jeans and I’m always in heels.
