welcome!- the evolution begins

For a person who never seems to have enough hours in a day to get things done, I'm not sure if doing another blog is a good idea. Lol.

But this is more for myself- as inspiration & documentation of where I've been and where I'm headed. But why now?

A little back story...

On December 28, 2007 I broke up with my then boyfriend & then was laid off from my then job all within 7 hours. Though both were situations that I no longer wanted, I did go into a state of depression. All of 2008 is a blur. But in February of 2009, I lost a dear friend to me & in September of that same year, I lost my granma. I think those events shaped the person I am today- The person who goes after her goals and appreciates every day. All these events definitely shaped how hard I go for my business.
But in the interim, my style suffered. I'm still getting rid of my "depression" clothes & realizing how much stuff i acquired that i didn't love.

This is a bag full of stuff I am letting go. (Looks much bigger in person.) And it's just the latest garbage bag of clothes I've donated. But now that leaves me with very little clothes. (I know, I'm a designer, I should just make stuff, right? Well, with me now doing production & less sewing for my label, I will have more time to make more stuff for me!) I used to pride myself on not wearing the same thing twice but now it seems to be the story of my life! Lol. But I am ready for change...

And the first change was to get rid of my hair:

Yes, after almost 13 years of having locs, i decided to take the leap and cut them last weekend.

I do miss my hair, as that was the thing that people associated with me & especially my clothing line, but i just think it was long overdue.

Now I think I'm ready to start the new chapter in my life...

Stay Tuned!
