Living that Grown-up Lyfe

I've been thinking a lot about career/personal goals lately and what I want to accomplish in my life. It hasn't been an easy thing to think about since there are so many things that I want to do. I think the thing that has been most frustrating for me has been trying to focus on one thing and sticking with it. I feel like my mind usually jumps from one idea to the next and it's like "ahh make up your mind already", ha-ha. It also doesn't help when someone asks me "What do you wanna be when you grow up?" or "Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?" I mean those are really great questions and things to think about but as much as I think about them I just get worried and frustrated and usually respond with an "I don't know." Some people look at me in shock and get really concerned; this usually coming from my parent's. And others, well, they are usually on the same boat as me; fresh out of college and out working in the adult world.

 I've been asking a lot of my friends, co-workers, and peers how they chose their careers they are currently pursuing and for tips and advice. Some of the tips that I have gotten are:

1. Choose an idea and run with it and if it doesn't work then go to the next

2. Brainstorm ideas and make a plan or timeline of when you see yourself reaching that goal

3. Read self-help books

4. Try to stay positive, you are a luchadora (fighter)

These are really helpful suggestions and I am planning on trying them all. 

I know that at the moment, it sucks not knowing exactly what I want to do or where I see myself but I DO know that I wanna keep growing and continue moving on up! I hope you all can join me on this wondrous adventure of living and solving that grown up lyfe!

Feel free to share with me your experience(s) on accomplishing your career goals and/or helpful tips and advice on how you stay motivated.

Stylish Sundays

If you were to ask me, "Fati what are your favorite item(s) in your closet?" It would be hard to answer at first but I would probably go with my denim collection because denim is a versatile fabric that can be used to make different things such as purses, skirts, and shirts to name a few. And because it is both comfortable and durable. Some of the differences between denim and jeans is that denim is made of heavy twill and is commonly used to make ready-made garments as listed above. Jeans on the other, is the actual garment that is made of denim cloth. 

I don't really own a lot of denim pieces but if I were to put together an outfit with the items that I have which are two denim jackets, a denim vest, a chambray and a mixture of different colored jeans, I can choose to dress it up by wearing a nice, flowy blouse accompanied with a cardigan and heels for a more classy "going out" look or even dress it down by wearing a simple t-shirt and a denim jacket on top for a more casual look. It all depends on the occasion!

Since my boyfriend usually takes my blog photos, I decided to experiment with my tripod and camera this time around and show you all how I wear my denim!

Share with me your favorite item(s) in your closet and how you wear them?
