Why I Do What I Do

Before I discovered you could go to school for fashion I wanted to be a nurse or involved in politics. Now I can't get blood drawn without passing out and I change the channel as soon as Face the Nation starts. I think I took the right path. By sophomore year of high school I gave up on all things athletic. I blame it on having to much space between my head and the ground. So instead of volleyball I practiced doing my hair and makeup and working at Willy's Super Valu in order to support my hobby of fashion. This hobby/obsession didn't start in high school, more so at birth. My mother finally gave up the reins and let me and the gap kids sales associate take over all the decision making during school shopping. I would even cut up my Barbie clothes and hand sew them into something more fabulous. Ok back to the point of why I'm pursuing an education in fashion. Like I said I don't do sports; fashion is my sport, my talent, my art, my creativity.  My closet is my trophy case, that's not meant to be conceited, think about it, some hang up their ribbons I hang up what I consider a piece of found art. I love the way an outfit can make you feel a certain way. Fashion tells your story whether you are aware of it or not, it's a form of art.  I have such a passion for what I'm doing, it makes me excited for the future.  If there's not an excitement or desire you feel thinking of your future career, I challenge you to rethink your education path. I can't even explain how excited I get when someone walks into Mode (the store I work at) and is like "I don't know what I'm doing, help me."  It's like every endorphin in my body is set free. It makes my day when friends text or snap chat me asking for fashion advice.  I wanna take this post to thank my readers for all the support. I absolutely love expressig myself through writing, and receiving positive feedback is just an amazing cherry on top. Thank you and Happy Easter!
