  • Starting from the step that you are on is a concept, we should all embrace. This concept can be applied to any work or personal situation. But in order to move forward, you have to put yourself out there enough to try and not worry too much about failing. It's the experience rather than the task that gives you the trajectory to the next step.

      Im doing this as a writer. I whole heartedly agree. Start on the step you're on. Be open to the possibility that everything will work out as long as you lead with passion.

    Really good advice. I never thought when I was designing bridal accessories years ago that I'd be writing about a fashion designer now. I guess creativity is creativity.
    Like you said, do what you love and build on it - whatever level you're at. ❤

    So helpful ❤ I’m not in fashion. I’m a photographer just starting out. I also model sometimes - all on the weekend while trying to keep a job that pays the bills.
    Our society looks down on getting older so much, but I can’t wait for the day that I’m no longer scared of paying my bills. 😅
    Finding the right creative footsteps for yourself can be so confusing! But definitely encouraging in the end.

    I currently work in visual merchandising where I get to style the manni looks (& much more) and often times my friends & family ask to be a personal stylist 😂
    I’ve styled my sister for a couple of seasons and I’m always the go to person if they need help for a event or date night.
    I’ve thought about being a stylist but I’m not much of a “people person” 😬
    I’ll stick to styling the mute mannequins 😂

    Carla my new fashion move is turning robes like the red one you have on here into wearable pieces. When done with the right accessories it can look great! You should see if you can put an outfit together! I challenge you! We wear lacy lingerie type tops out, why not a silk robe!? 😂🎉❤

    I started at Ross Dress For Less. Answered the phone and found a skirt for a nice woman on the phone. She was the head of HR at Bullock's. She told me anytime I wanted to make a change come see her. I said how about Monday at 10:30 AM?. That was the start. Of decades of retail. Unfortunately, all of the stores are closed. Bullocks, Broadway, Lamonts, Fredrick & Nelson, The Bon Marche, and Macy's.
