Just another day, hanging out at Starbucks, sippin' coffee and applying for jobs. Seems like it has become a daily routine. Two job interviews days: Sephora and Urban Outfitters. A 12 person group interview for Sephora was long and I could safely say I win the best dressed award in that group (no joke). As for the U.O. interview I was surprised how similiar the job I was interviewing for was to my previous job at F21. Can't say it was easy to read the store manager whose face was about as expressionless as a housewife getting botox. But I can say that store has a great vibe about it being so close to the beach and all. Guess it would be a nice change for me. I'm hoping for the best.
Of course, being so close to the beach, I can't go home just yet. I decide to venture down the boardwalk and go grab fish tacos and a beer at PB shore club. "Best fish tacos around," so I decide to check it out.
So most of you are thinking, what a weirdo to be going to a bar to eat and drink by herself. Well, if you are even asking that question, you sure as hell don't know me very well. I order two tacos and a shocktop which has become my new blue moon because I guess they just don't carry it.
Now, ok so you would think pretty girl, alone, in a bar by herself, probably got a bunch of guys hitting on her. Uhh, not! I was suprised that not one person said "hi"to me. All I got was glares from the three snobby chicks sitting next to me. This kind of surprised me but I can't say my gitup was very "beach friendly." Oh well.
Now, what to do. I will note that my 'go to' high bun, might have to be kept to an mininum. It's very unruly and I don't feel pretty. Not sure it's the right way to get the boys (not like i'm trying to impress) ((cough)) No way. Like I care. But just a thought.
Plans for tonight, maybe force some people to hang out with me.

A Whole New World
Clothing. Seems like a no brainer. For some it's a way of life. Expressing how one feels in one of the most individualistic ways (if you ask me) that seems to keep on changing, everyday.
For a girl like me, from the Midwest, clothing has always taken a backseat to things such as: farming, football and family. It doesn't matter, doesn't require thought or planning , no effort, just simple, easy living. I have never been this way.
Since I could remember I subconciously wanted to stand out, be a leader not a follower. I even realized at a young age that I got excited about putting clothes on. I always wanted to match, because I just felt like it looked better. I would go to soccer practice when I was little and see girls wearing orange socks, with purple shorts and a red shirt, and would think, "Wouldn't it be easier if they just matched"? Not a typical thought for a kid who never knew what fashion was.
Ok, Ok so I grew up in Omaha, Nebraska. I know, not exactly this middle of nowhere, but still, not exactly the fashion capitol of the world either. Times have changed. With the city growing at a rapid rate, so is more and more people's knowledge of trends, and style are coming into play.
So, Im not trying to bad mouth where I grew up. But I guess to say that the whole city has style amensia, and that some still don't know the difference between a legging, and tight or romper from jumpsuit, isn't that far fetched. Trust me some people call it a jomper? Wow, really? What the hell is that?
Still, when I get glares and under the breath comments from passerbys, I can safely say people need to jump into the 21st century. Head first.
For this exact reason is why I moved to San Diego, not even a week ago. I wanted to live somewhere where my style and individualistic expression was appreciated, admired, and praised even. Tattoos? Who cares? Piercings, who doesn't have em'? It's not weird, or unusual, it's a way of life. It's my new life.
This is the me I have always wanted to be. And now I have the opportunity to show people that fashion is more than clothing, shoes, bags, jewerly, a selling tool to make more money through magazines, and movies it's an expression.
I'm commintted to fully stepping up my game, and observing the "trendies" (that's what i'm calling them) of the Diego area. Hoping to make some friends along the way, I will document my favorite fashionistas, and take you on my journey.
