So here is the dealio with the realio. I am now doing marketing for two boutiques (one in Lubbock and one online in Austin) along with doing the marketing and dabbling in writing for a magazine in Austin. Yes, I waisted no time sitting around when I left life back in the LBK.
And I'll also say that at first this made me spaz out. Yes, in two weeks I have already had at least 20 mental break downs about my future and where my life is going to go. In my mind there was only one place for my future, down the huge drain of failure. Duh!
It wasn't until I listened to Man Repeller speak at a SXSW panel that things finally started to make sense.
Good thing I have said that before... but clinch your teeth. This is about to be great.
She delved into her life as a blogger. Told those of us on the lowly totem-pole of fashion how blogging is the new thing, and fashion is no longer made by the people in magazines but by the opinions of the blogging world. Obviously this means only one thing. I shall be a blogger and be the best blogger there ever was!
Yeah right.
Clearly I'm not that cool. But what I did realize is that I really like blogging, and more than that I really like fashion. Though I am not a fashionista. There is no way for me to write about the lavish fashion shows when the closest my butt will ever be is the front row of the parking lot (on the non restricted pavement). so there needs to be another route.
And then it dawned on me again! The thing I have always been really good at is starving myself for fashion. I am a lover of the arts and a liver of the slums. I swoon over lavish items, not because the brand makes it worth it but because I have such high regards for these artist.
On the flip side I was never a socialite. My family doesn't come from the upper east side and I don't plan on playing like I do.
My new project is to bring the thoughts of a chic in shambles. I don't know how cool this will be, or if anyone will even care. But as long as there are keys to peck away at on my lap top I plan to blog about it.
Oh, and before my blog is up you can always get the inside look with my Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, (click for links) and Instagram: Chicinshambles!
This is only going to work if you love me as much as I love you!
