For the longest time I didn't really care about what I wore.  I take that back.  I cared, but I didn't care enough to figure out what styles and colors looked best on me. I didn't care enough to pay attention to whether or not something fit the way it was supposed to.  I especially didn't know what   my style was. It was either what someone else bought/picked out for me or whatever was on sale and fit. My Dad had the joy of taking me shopping during the dreaded pre-teen and teen years so I was at the mercy of what he approved.  At the time it felt so incredibly strict.  All the other girls get to wear skirts above their knees, silver tube tops and brick shoes -- why can't I??  Who remembers JNCO jeans? But then he took me to the Banana Republic and JCrew outlets in Commerce, GA.  This was back when they actually sent out of season clothes to outlets rather than designing a cheaper line for them.  And back when you could get a good deal.  The clothes were beautiful

Any aspiring entrepreneurs/mompreneurs out there?  One of the first things we're guided on is to identify our Why. Why are we doing this?  Mine is simple, albeit a little selfish.  I'm a petite girl who loves clothes. I could just buy clothes and blog about it, but there are two factors playing against me.       1. Every couple of years I really just hate the trends and fabrics being used.  I've figured out my style, what silhouettes work on me and want to stick with it.       2. Not many stores cater to petite working women.  If I want to try clothes on in person, I'm limited to Ann Taylor/Loft because the Banana Republic, JCrew and WHBM near me don't carry petite sizes.  Not to mention that these brands have recently increased in size/bought into the loose clothing trend.  You know what loose clothes look like on a 95lbs, 5'2" individual?  Too big.  That's what they look like.  At this point I know what some of you are thinking. And, no, shutting

Yes, I do still exist.  And I'm about to open up and share some things about myself with you and maybe help someone else in the process. I've been kind of lost lately and not real sure what I want to do with this whole sewing/craft business and blog thing.  Two things have been working against, but ultimately for me.  1. I've been listening to entrepreneur podcasts to help keep me motivated, give me direction, and learn how to market my product.  2. I have a wide variety of interests and several skill sets that I want to develop.  Why are these two things working against me?  The entrepreneur advisers all advise on working on one item.  One.  I'm all over the map right now.  I'm doing home projects/décor, small craft projects, sewing, embroidery... everything. I feel like I'm doing everything. And because of that, I'm doing nothing.  Why?  I'm a big introvert and get overwhelmed easily. That overwhelm leads to paralyzing anxiety.  I have tons of ideas
