Take a Chance on me?

Hello friends, sorry its been a while. I haven't had internet connection in quite sometime, unless you count the stealing of the neighbors internet which is really pretty touchy and loses connection every couple minutes.

So I've been thinking lately, and I think I really would like to pursue a career in the fashion industry. It's really what makes me happy. I would put up a picture for you of the plaid pencil skirt that I made from scratch, but I'm lacking my camera cord right now. I was pretty proud of myself. It was the first thing I'd ever sewed from scratch. Of course I'd sewed things before, but it was mainly just altering stuff that was already made. But this skirt looked sharp, let me tell you. I wore it with my Steve Madden heels and a tucked in black top.

But I was thinking, and I really think that is what I want to do with my life. Maybe not "fashion designer" but maybe a stylist? I'm good at picking out outfits? Some people do that for a living, right? Like what's their face on What Not To Wear. They basically just pick out outfits. I would love to do that, well and I already do for most of my friends. I just have a knack for knowing what looks good on some people.

My sister wants me to get one of those bodice things to sew on. I think they are silly. I want to start taking sewing classes or something now. I just don't want to regret not doing what I love. It's silly, but I got all this from watching the movie "The Women." It was actually an alright movie. But the point is, when Meg Ryan hit rock bottom and then she ended up making her own line of clothes which was what she'd always wanted to do but never had the chance. I don't want that to be me. I want to take that chance when it comes and if it comes. I want to do something I love and that I am actually good at.


P.S. This makes me laugh:

P.S.S. Buddy Holly makes me giggle:
