Kat, outside UNIQLO on Chestnut St, Philadelphia

UNIQLO contacted me last week inviting me for a "personal shopping" visit to one of their Philadelphia area stores. I took them up on their offer today. As an "influencer" of Philly fashion, I got the grand tour and a "small gift," which turned out to be a tote bag. Isn't it always? This is one of several "collaborations" I'm doing with UNIQLO this month. I'll have plenty more to say about them in the coming days. For now, let me just say this: if I am an influencer, so is every other scrappy Instagrammer with a semi-decent following. Is "influencer" even a meaningful concept anymore?
