I’M ALIVE!

I haven’t been able to post because I have been putting all of my effort into S&FW, my new boutique! Quick back story: this is something I’ve wanted to do for SO long. I noticed I was surrounding myself with a lot of people with ‘ideas’ but none were actually executed. So I did it. I bit the bullet and with some extra money from a paycheck I filed for my business license. From there it was uphill. I applied for about 8 loans, and because of some stupid things I pulled in college, they all got declined. I was back to square one. Kinda hard to get inventory with no monies… So, it started at about a 10k purchase order, and I had to ween that down to $1500. I filed my taxes, got back my return, and instead of paying off my credit cards (whoops) I decided to take a chance and buy inventory for the store. When I got everything in it was a rush. Had to schedule a photoshoot- had to make up descriptions and enter all the products online, enter tax rates, shipping, etc. With the help of some amazing people, both local photographers and my beautiful friends (aka the modelz) everything was finally starting to fall together. A lot of sleepless nights, and working after work to wake up and go to work again, it launched. I have never felt such a sense of pride and happiness in anything I’ve done. I was SO OVERWHELMED by the support I received upon launch from my friends, family, and even people I haven’t talked to in forever! It was incredible. People ask me what I’m doing on my lunch break (at my day job) and I’ll tell them shipping orders out. While they think this sounds horrible (and I admit it isn’t the most exciting part of the business) I am so motivated and excited to do it. It may not make sense to most, but hey, idgaf. It’s my baby and I can’t wait to see how much it grows in the coming months!

So that’s where I’ve been. I’ve added some shots below of the product line- check it out. I’ll be back next week with a new, witty, opinionated post about something totally unrelated. BUT SERIOUSLY CHECK DIS SHIT OUT.

Just wondering. Anyways, see below for some fashion inspiration for all my fashionistas. Since i’m super trendy and all.. Go with it.

Better late than never, right?

Wear a super revealing dress. You know, leave nothing to the imagination.
Bring your dog (at least dress him in a nice sweater.)
Bring like seven people. Show up and yell “SQUAD” as loud as possible.
Definitely get hammered.
Get your dog hammered.
Tell everybody how much you love the ‘Lardassians.’
Scream “I WON!” after every drawing… even though you definitely didn’t.
Flirt with your boss, always turns out well the following Monday.
Eat ALL THE FOOD. All of it. Ask your boss for tupperware for the rest.
Trash talk your boss after flirting to your co-workers.
Post all your co-workers every move on social media
Make it into a karaoke party. You got this, girl.
Dance like nobody is watching. Seriously.

DO NOT:

Regret anything
Or take my advice, ever.

So can we please talk about Selena at the #VSFS? Holy sexual. And yes, I know I’m a little behind. So, I’ve added some links at the bottom on some cheats to get the strappy front of any top or dress you want!
