American Apparel raglan pullover | Forever 21 leather leggings | urbanog platforms

I don't know what the hell was going on with my camera last time because this time the photos turned out great, huh? Shot by my big brother again. We had a little sit down about exactly how I want them shot and he actually listened and delivered! I'm glad he enjoys it because this is now his job, permanently. You get to see a little of my front yard. I shot in every part of it. It looks so great in photos not so much in person. Don't you love how fall-y it looks?!

I'm definitely settled in now and most importantly......dun dun duuuuuuuuun, I have a JOB! I am now employed at H&M which is such a big change from American Apparel, and a much needed one at that.  My first day was Friday and it went pretty well. I like my co-workers so far. I was really close with my co-workers at AA and I'm sure it will never be like that again. Miami and the people there is just a totally different vibe! Anyway, I love these shoes. I got them in the summer (perfect color for fall, right?) and this would be my second time wearing them. Very comfortable and easy to walk in but you CAN go tumbling over!! I love this outfit, just keeping it simple....for now.

"Nothing is really work unless you would rather be doing something else."

I guess you can say that I'm never satisfied. Wasn't I really excited in my other post about my new position? Can you believe that excitement is totally non-existent now? Or could you believe that I absolutely hate my job? Who would have thought? I'm styling! That's what I love to do, but I must say, there is much more to being a merchandiser than just simply putting clothes on a mannequin. Not that I wasn't prepared for that. I did, after all, take visual merchandising classes in school. I just wasn't aware of how much I actually hate being a visual merchandiser.

I literally have no fun. Styling isn't even fun. Why? Because you're so focused on making sure that you create "the look" they're going for that you miss the fun part. On top of that, mannequins are the devil. They are these evil things that just do not want to cooperate with you. They also way a ton! Sometimes I have to get on a ladder and lift these huge things up to put them on a shelf and while I'm doing that they like to fall apart! Anyway, by the end of the day I'm completely exhausted, very upset, and depressed that I have to come back the next day and do it all over again. Not to mention that I sometimes work 10-14 hour days. And to put the icing on the cake, I still haven't actually got the promotion or my raise! It's been a month and two weeks. I thought this would make being in Miami a bit better for me. I was wrong, it made it much worse.

Now that I'm done complaining, I have much catching up to do with you guys. A few things have changed within the last month. For me, none of it is good changes. I hate complaining but I'm at a low right now, been here for a while now. I'm actually in the process of searching for some good motivational and inspirational books to get me out of my funk. Something to help me to see the good things in my current situation. But for now, I have to go get in the shower and get ready for work.

By the way, everything went wrong with this shoot. That's why there are no full body shots. I'm disappointed I couldn't show the details of my pants but these pics will have to do right?
