just a mini life change, no big deal...

You guys, my life right now. Things...things are happening. I make it a rule not to discuss work here on mmt, unless I am referencing the time spent online shopping/blogging when, I mean technically, I should be working. This blog was created as a sort of creative outlet for me, since my current job doesn't really allow for much creativity or opportunities to explore things I am passionate about. But I am breaking my "no work talk" rule here for a very important announcement-- after four years at CleanScapes I am leaving to pursue a career in fashion. Those of you who know me, this is huge. I am a lover/admirer of high end fashion but I have never worked in this arena. I am excited and a little bit terrified to leave my comfortable corner desk at a company that, although it has its flaws, has taught me everything I know about business, professionalism and management. It sounds cheesy I know, but I have really grown up here. I was hired right before I turned 23, now I am 27 and ready to jump head first into a completely different world. It feels weird, but also pretty freaking wonderful because I am finally getting the chance to do what I love.


So, anyways. The job! I am starting at the beautiful, amazing Totokaelo on September 9th and I couldn't be more excited! Despite being nervous and a bit scared, I am ready. This is an opportunity I never thought I would be lucky enough to have and I am super grateful this company is taking a chance on me! The idea of using the sentence "I love my job" is a bit foreign to me, but I have a feeling you will be hearing this more and more from me in the near and distant future. Please let me know if my constant talk of beautiful clothes, shoes and objects gets to be annoying. TRICK QUESTION. It's never annoying, it's always the best.

Now, it wouldn't be a true mmt post without me sharing some of my favorite online shopping treasures. Take a look at some of my favorites from Totokaelo below! And thanks for listening to me go on and on about big, important life changes. Ugh, boring I know. Back to what really matters-clothes! xoxo, whit.
