new beginnings, bla bla bla

i know this post should probably be filled with pinterest sayings and bible verses, but i overate at lunch, so I'm gonna spare my readers  myself the agony of that nonsense.

I GOT A NEW JOB. a job that Ive searched and searched and searched and searched some more for the past..oh, 6 months, I've known it was time for a change. i knew I didn't see myself in my current job for the long haul; i knew i saw myself in fashion (more on that little 360 change later); i knew i needed to get back into said field for the sole reason of if I have to work for the next 40 years--i better enjoy what I'm doing.

so what will i be doing? well here's the catch. you know the story. girl knows what shes good at but fights it. refuses to face the facts that she is good at it for a reason. what, may you ask? retail. i am damn good at retail. more specifically, management. i know how things should and {more importantly} should not be managed. it is a field that i fought and fought. i applied and interviewed EVERYWHERE except on the store level. so finally after some serious soul searching (shout out to the many friends that sat with me while i inhaled mic ultras while soul searching. STOP THAT JUDGMENT. i like my soul searching with booze.) I decided to apply for a management role in the new DSW opening. I immediately clicked with everyone I interviewed, three rounds of interviews later....i accepted a position!

i could not be more excited; i truly feel this is where I'm supposed to be. i know this is a team that I'm supposed to be on; they want to work with me, and I want to work with them. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

now...back to the real reason i have this silly blog...to document things I'm currently obsessing over. In my defense, these have been on my wish list for a while, so I'm thinking new job + alittle extra money in the bank...mama deserves these! (deserves is such a funny word...what i deserve is, is a swift kick in the ass!)
