Hi everybody! Welcome to www.tailoredandtrue.com! I have been working behind the scenes for a few weeks now to create the new look for the site, get my own url, and transfer to the WordPress.org platform, and I am so excited by the result. There are still a few changes and tweaks that need to be made, but I couldn’t wait to share the site’s new look. If you have ideas for me on how I can continue to improve, feel free to leave them in the comments below – I always love hearing your thoughts and opinions!

Be sure to bookmark the new url or to follow along via social media (links below) to make sure you don’t miss a post on the new platform! I have a few exciting surprises up my sleeve so you don’t want to miss out! Thank you so much for your support. I always love hearing from you guys!

Outfit:

Top: Madewell (old)
Bottoms: Articles of Society
Shoes: Sam Edelman (sold out, similar here)
Accessories: Gorjana necklace (old), Bauble Bar earrings (on sale!)

      I moved from WordPress.com to a self-hosted site on wordpress.org. There’s so much more flexibility with wordpress.org, and it allows me to design my site and give it the functionality I want with no fuss. I was also almost out of storage space on WordPress.com with all my photos, so I was about to start having to pay for space anyway, so the move seemed worth it!

        I see. I am still on blogger, but with my own domain, and was wondering if moving to wordpress would be a smart step for me and my blog.

          Unfortunately I don’t know enough about Blogger to be of much help, but I will say I’ve been super happy with wordpress.org (although there is a learning cure!) so far! Good luck with the decision, and definitely let me know if I can help at all!

    LOVE the upgrade and congrats on getting a new url! I’ve been meaning to do that but I’m waiting for other things in my life to stabilize before making the jump myself…
    Also, LOVE the blouse! The print is so pretty! The white jeans you paired it with gives your outfit a very summery vibe. Gorgeous!

    I am so loving your updated look. I’ve heard of 17th Ave Designs and they have wonderful themes. So far, I don’t see anything you need to do more of, but if I have any ideas I will let you know. The one thing I can say is, backup your site every week and have it stored away in 2 places. Welcome to running your blog on WordPress.org :). By the way, I am loving those wedges girl.

    well done on your upgrade! i want to do it so bad. what was the move like? Did you pay a WP engineer to do it or you did it yourself? Did you lose anything? I’m so nervous, please review!

      Thank you so much! The move was tricky but doable. I opted not to pay anybody but to do it myself. WPBegginner has a great tutorial on how to switch your blog over from wordpress.com to wordpress.org. I’ve been really happy with the results, but I have a whole laundry list of things to improve, fix, set up, etc. that weren’t issues on my .com site. That being said, I’m so happy I switched (and kind of wish I had done it earlier!) Thanks so much for stopping by!
