If it's bigger than your head.

When creating this blog I had to stop and ask myself… WHERE DO I BEGIN? It was definitely overwhelming because I knew what site to go on to find the blog, and I knew what I wanted to talk about and that was just about it. After getting into content and discussing Content Rules by Handley & Chapman  (Shameless Plug) I found something very interesting which I would like to summarize as “Easy Killer.” What I mean by this is start slow. My motto with most of the things that happen in life would have to be “If everything were that easy, I would be a doctor.”(WHICH I AM NOT) And in this book the authors basically talk about starting slow. Find your audience and learn a little about them. Take each bite. Don’t devour the whole Damn thing. So how do you relate this fashion…(Believe me I asked the same thing.) Do you want to look like a model or just a fashionable person? What are you going to do? Go to your closet look at all of your clothes and think????? I don’t have anything. Well you might be wrong and right! Take each step towards looking good ONE STEP AT A TIME. Last time I checked I can’t make money and you can’t either so when shopping or looking at things in magazines or even looking at the mannequin for ideas. (I DO) Only buy one thing from it if you can. If the mannequin has nice socks on him BUY IT.. One step at a time and you will have a makeover before you know it. It takes time and patience. SO FUNWORK TIME!!!!! For the next week go look for one thing you can add to your wardrobe either in store or online.(Websites to my favorites below) Whether it is a scarf, hat, belt, or shirt. ADD  IT! And then work with what you have.. P.S your not a model so don’t think like one. Next time I am going to discuss fashion in another country…  If you have traveled outside of this GRAND LAND let me know things you have purchased.. UNTIL THEN TTFN!!! oooooo PPS.. Here are some sites I like to use for a little eye shopping... :)   H&M , Urban Outfitters , BR , & JCREW  

Have FUN being a Creep!

I am giving you permission to be a CREEPER….. Why? It’s all about finding your own style and transforming that to fit YOU. I have heard so many times in marketing classes to be your own brand. What does this mean? You are representing yourself in any form of communication whether it is through a social media outlet, or face-to-face conversation. This took me so long to understand because I was putting anything and everything online. This included photos from the previous night out or words that didn’t need to be heard by small children.  But how does this reflect your own style. Well answer this question for me… Would you go to your very first interview out of college in sweat pants, or that party dress that if you sit just right you can see (well just complete that yourself). NOOO you wouldn’t. So when you are going to class everyday or shopping or to a nice restaurant have some Class. Plan an additional 15 minutes into your routine and fix one thing about yourself. (Hair, pants, shoes etc.) Believe me it makes a world of difference. So let’s journey back to being a creeper. Tonight and for the remainder of the week I have some homework (FUNWORK) for you to do. Go online to your favorite social media outlet ( Facebook, Twitter,etc) and look at profile pictures. You’re good a judging! So if they aren’t appropriate pictures, sites, videos then step back and look at your own site. Let me know what you find. Email me photos or stories. J Until next time. TTFN
