Better late than never... right?

Hi! I realized today that I haven't posted in a while and that my last post was a bad note to end on. I currently started a new position at my job and it is more hours, which means less time to do things such as blog. The only thing that is basically always on my mind is sleep. I have just been concentrating on doing my job and riding the wave so to speak to see where I end up. Over these past few weeks I've really discovered that I need to stop being so hard on myself and that I am doing a good job and working hard. I tend to worry about things that in the end don't end up amounting to anything. But other than work, I have been quite boring. Going to D.C. this weekend! Excited for the nice weather. I hope all my readers are doing well. The one message that I want to leave to anyone who is reading this, is believe in yourself more. Its in you, you just got to let it out.

Let me clear something up

Hi again! So I realized after I posted my first post, I should have explained why I chose "Fighting Fashionista" as my blog title. Well, as you know I am a recent college graduate of JWU where I studied Fashion Merchandising & Retail Marketing. I have always loved fashion and have always been drawn to it. Now just to get things straight I don't like it in the stereotypical I like to shop there for I majored in fashion. I love feeling shirts and guessing the textile make-up or flipping through the newspaper and naming the designer that the celebrity is wearing. I love the history, the forecasting, the language. So when I say I love fashion, you can believe me when I say I am not some shopper fashionista wanna be. Any who, I currently work part time at Anthropologie, a store that I've been obsessed with for a long time. I enjoy working there very much and get along with all of my fellow associates and managers. But I am still searching for a job that is more creative. I interned at my Anthro store last spring and it was a life changing experience. I was a display intern and worked closely with the visual team to create the in-store and window displays. Unlike most stores, Anthro stores create their display in house and everything is made basically by hand. It takes a lot of time and trial and error, but when the display is finished and in the store it makes the whole process worth it. So basically I am looking for a job where I feel that feeling again. Looking at something that I made and that I am proud of, something that at the end of the day I can go home and feel accomplished. I don't know if that is asking for too much, but that is what I am in search of. So my blog name is me the fashionista not giving up until I've found that job that gives me that feeling. And I won't give up.
