destination adventure

Just wanted to do a little recap about what I've been doing yesterday and my plans for today! (:

Yesterday:

• went into Rumors yesterday and worked around the store
• picked up Marche and drove her around 
• basically, they gave me a bucket full of clothes for their online store that i need to measure
• hung out with Kouryou and Blank Canvas! (:
• went to dinner with Kouryou at BoDillaz and then had Bev's ice cream for the first time, it was so good!
• the storm hit again, thank goodness it wasn't too bad this time
• basically yesterday i got to see dance people and it was awesome to just talk to Kouryou about his life, where he's been, dance, and life lessons

Today:

bathing suits, trunks, and more clothes
(not pictured) i need to measure

• woke up to a super weird voicemail that I have no idea who it came from because i didn't recognize the number
• had breakfast
• did some morning yoga again
• made some lunch
• my roommate left so now i'm just bojangling by myself
• measuring clothes for Rumors
• and other than that i have no set plans... 

what i learned is that I enjoy stimulating conversations with people, it's so nice to talk about something substantial and meaningful and to get others insight on subjects to learn more and push myself. i'm surrounded by people who have so much passion for their art or their hobby and it inspires and motivates me so much to learn more and do more but i'm struggling trying to find what my passion is. this internship is based more on fashion than event planning... and it confused me. i want to be able to plan events on events on events because i love them... and yes, i do enjoy fashion too but it is mainly a hobby. my knowledge about vintage items, menswear, womens wear, or even just street wear is not very much... i want to learn more and i want to educate myself on something i'm interested in. just hearing about tyler's brother and his project with BrassTacks Garment Co. is so inspiring to me because i can tell he is so dedicated to the idea that everything is so calculated and perfect. then, seeing how Rumors works and all the time and effort Casey and Marche put into it is even more inspiring and my goodness, if i put as much time and effort into my passion i want to see what would happen but i can't figure out what my passion is. Dance could be a passion, but I'm not sure... I am too scared to let my mind wander "outside of the box" and that is where i limit myself. I honestly could do anything i wanted to if i set my mind to it, but that's just the thing... i don't know what i want to do yet... i'm still searching for my "calling" and although i think events are it, i still have my doubts sometimes. i love parties and i love weddings, and my goodness i love planning all of those things but this fashion thing... could it really take me somewhere? i love clothes! but i want to be able to learn more about a designers vision and what makes pieces remarkable. i want to learn how to sew and craft more... i just want to find what drives me and pushes me, and hopefully i will find that here in Richmond. Anyways, i wanted to post some pictures of all the clothes i'm measuring and i tried on one of Rumors' bathing suits and i really like it haha

Vintage Mickey Mouse bathing suit i'm supposed to measure haha

the backs of these two swimsuits are super awesome! they're really low
and for some reason i think it's so chic haha
