We Really Can't Do it ALL...maybe.

So today I started researching fashion schools. It happened like this: I was reading my Vogue trying to have a nice relaxing day of being sick on the couch, and all I could think about was being one of the designers that I was seeing on the pages. I really wanted all those beautiful women to be wearing my clothes. Maybe every young girl had that dream at some point...but I guess it never left me. Partly because I still alter a LOT of my own clothes before wearing them or make nice things out of the horrible dresses that my mother likes to hand down to me, and partly because I've always been an artist in my soul. And that artist is screaming to be let out again.

The problem of course, with going to art school for fashion design, I've discovered, is that they don't have any sort of job placement service for after you graduate. You just go out and get a fashion job! lol. Well, if it were that easy, perhaps I'd already have done that? So instead of jumping straight into fashion design, maybe I'll finish the other degree I had already started...maybe even add some business classes to it. Me in business has a nice boring ring to it...haha! The other problem with art school is the looks I'd get from my overly judgmental family for getting a "worthless" art degree. But I can see their point...what does a girl who lives in the middle of nowhere in Nevada need a fashion degree for?

But there's always that little voice that says: maybe you could start a fashion scene around here once you start making designs that sell. But how does one become a Marc Jacobs or Ralph Lauren? The idea is you make clothes and then you sell them...but how do you get people to buy them? That's where I always hit a wall when it comes to thinking about starting my own business...where do I get patrons from? Does anybody know how this works?

At any rate tonight's wisdom for the modern woman is: though we may think we can do literally everything at once, all day long, maybe today is the day to rule out one more thing that we don't want to do...with our lives, or even just on our to-do list--even if we could do it.
