The Leather Look

Leather/Pleather in clothing, makes a comeback every few years or so.  It was big during the warmer months (go figure) and is still on trend going into the Fall 2013 season.  I live for Zara sales and couldn't resist the few (pl)eather pieces they had left, so I splurged a little for my birthday.  Trying to put together oufits in my head.

Brocade top with leather straps - $9.99
 
Pleather skirt - $19.99 (can you believe this medium was to big? From Zara?)

Leatherette top (with mesh back) - $9.99 This is my fave piece. Can't wat to pair it with some skinny jeans or belted with a pencil skirt.

Chasing Your Joy

Recently, I attended a business seminar sponsored by the Urban League. I went for business advice, but instead was met by a very enthusiastic motivational speaker.  It was cool though.  The one thing that I do remember from the half hour, was his statement, "Chase Your Joy."  Now you may think he was speaking generally.  He was actually speaking in terms of finding a new job. He said that we should not just be looking for a new job (while job searching), but we should be looking for what will make us happy and chase that instead.  At the end of July, my job as an Administrative Assistant at a well-known chemical company, ended. While at the job, I was not happy.  It was not what I wanted to do and I knew I was meant for more.  Everything happens for a reason.  I am now home with my daughter, until I find a new job Joy.  I don't have any experience in the field that I would like to go into, but somehow, some way, I'm going to Make It Happen (remember my post from earlier this year).  Also, since being home, I've sarted researching Master's programs. I was this close to actually taking classes this semester, but I felt I was rushing so will take a little more time to research and prayerfully be in university come January! My future degree will take me further into my dream joy/career. I am confident that I will find a new Joy soon!  Once I do, you'll be the first to know.
