From now on I am going to showcase outfits that I have worn, mostly created by me.
The following is what I wore to work on Saturday for a little party that was happening.
Top: actually a dress I wore New Years day that a friend had given to me.
Pants: made by me from my up coming line "Sequoia"
So in a previous post you saw where I cut off my locs. A new journey, recreating myself and just learning to be more comfortable in my skin. A drastic change I definitely needed, as a push for myself. But since that last post, I have cut my hair yet again. Now I am bald and rocking a twa (okay so maybe I am not technically bald lol).
Since that barber cut, I havr rocked a fade and then a mohawk with side designs. Mind you, I asked for simple, the barber gave me a graphic design (aaahhhh). Thankfully my hair has grown out so no more design and I have less of a square cut due to my constant trimming of since my visit to the barber.
Now I must say I LOVE my new haircut. Think it fits me. I actually think I look like a model and so do other people (pity I don't have the body of a model). With this new do I am experimenting with new lip colour and fashion. Will elaborate on my make-up must haves and fashion go-tos in future posts.
My son has Fairytale Day at his Summer School today. Since it was his first week and he started yesterday ( school started last week) it was a bit last minute. Regardless, he wanted to be a knight & being the creative and crafty mom that I am, I made his entire costume.
For a while now I have been back and forth about the idea of quitting both my jobs and just focus on my Kids Line amongst other things. I really feel, from the deepest part of me, that this is what I want & that this is the right path. Then there is part of me that worries about how things will get taken care of like the bills, treating my son to things etc., generally just worrying about money.
My son's school fee for next semester has already been paid off and if I do work up until the end of Sept I will have money to hold me for a while but I am juat a bit scared about really doing this.
Initially I just intended to quit the evening job only and I am still leaning towards that but overall I just feel like I need more than that.
Mostly my reason for wanting to do this is that I feel like I am missing out on my son as he grows up. Due to my long days and late hours he stays by his dad. Only days when I actually have no work at night, my days off and in the mornings when his grandparents or father drops him by me for me to take him to school, do I get to spend time with him. Now with him starting Prep school September, a new environment for him, I really just want to be there to pick him up from school and to just go through this journey with him. Not being as present as I would like to be in his life, missing out big moments and events at school, not being able to go through school work with him etc., really breaks my heart each and every day.
I shall pray on it. God as my guide, he will steer me in the right direction.
Lately so many good things have been happening to people around me & it makes me completely and utterly happy for them. From getting good jobs, to pregnancy to just getting their lives together, its all finally falling into place for them. God gives us what we need when he sees fit. I have been there throughout their journeys, praying and hoping things would work out and here it all is finally happening.
I look forward to what more life has to offer for the people around me and for myself also.
Sorry I have been a bit incognito, been kinda keeping to myself. But I am surely back and ready to blog away.
Sincerely,
Me
