“There’s a difference between interest and commitment. When you’re interested in doing something, you do it only when its convenient. When you’re committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” -Kenneth Blanchard

I wore this ensemble to Full Figured Fashion Week a month or so ago so I decided to take a few pictures now since I never got around to it. Spring 2013 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is right around the corner. I have been on the biggest mission to get my outfits together. My mind has pretty much been all over the place. I have a list of everything that needs to be done. I ordered some new business cards and picked out most of my outfits. I just need to get them fitted and altered. The picture below is me speaking to a follower of mine at Full Figured Fashion Week. She pulled me aside to tell me how I’ve been an inspiration to her. This picture was snapped RIGHT before I started crying hysterically from all her sweet words. I hope to meet more people during Spring 2013 NYFW minus the tears. I remember having a down day, practically dragging myself to attend the event. I was keeping to myself that night because I have days where I’m a hard on myself for not successfully being where I want to career wise. When she came up to me and said how she felt about me, how influential I was, I couldn’t stop the tears. I might not see fast results, but I’m touching people, whether I can see it or not. She reassured me that night why I continue what I do. Either way, I can’t wait until fashion week. I also posted some new items on my Etsy Shop. Be sure to check it out.

    I’ve been (silently) following your blog for… I don’t know how long, and since the first time I saw you, I felt inspired by you.

    I love this outfit. And I think you are an inspiration too, because you wear really cute, tight, short skirts, and our legs look the same. :) It gives me confidence to wear what I want without worrying that my legs will look too fat or something. Gorgeous, as always. Thanks for doing what you do!

  4. I’m glad you’re hard on yourself because it means you’ll only get better and better, but make sure you step back occasionally and realize how hard you truly are working and how many people you are inspiring!

    I have no doubt in my mind you will achieve everything you told me you would… And then some!
