Rejection.
I think I take it much harder than a normal person. Sometimes, I allow that fear of the unknown and what ifs to totally prohibit me from saying something to someone, sending out that resume, or pursuing a goal.
But I always promote “just going for it”, but can’t even take my own advice. I’ve chatted with a few friends about it. “Leah you’re dope, just take a chance.” I sit there like Tina from Bob’s Burgers doing that prolonged moaning thing she does when she gets nervous.
Last week, I redid my little creative packet. This week, I sent some stuff to BuzzFeed, The Revelist, and Refinery29. Not sure what it’ll bring. But I’m just putting it out there.

This is like my first time legit getting a coupon code. Does that make me insta-famous? Will money magically appear into my depleting bank account? The world may never know.
Anywho, I’ve teamed up with Fashionnova
as they launch their new plus-size lines. I’m always looking for cool pieces with amazing detail, so when I saw this rope corset thingy in the front I was like oooooh this is so Leah V. And also, I’m really digging the long jacket. I’m gonna get several uses out this baby.
If you got some extra funds and want to get something cute for the weekend but wanna maybe save 15% off your purchase than use the coupon code LEAH It works. Honestly. Truly.

A Plaid for Every Occasion
One of the most exciting parts of the season beginning to change is seeing all the new fashion hit the stores. As a shoe buyer, the beginning of Fall is a fresh start. It is a time to take the lessons learned from Spring and make the most of them for the remainder of the year. As a consumer, I love the freshness. The beginning of a season is always full of possibility and allure of the unknown.
To start of my season, I am taking some time to go back through the Fall 2019 Ready-to-Wear coverage and see which shows/trends I really love. I am trying to be more strategic about my purchases, hence the research. So far, the Celine show has been at the top of my list, due in no small part to the abundance of plaid. I swear there was a plaid for every occasion. Glen plaid, Houndstooth, Tattersall, Window Pane, and you get the idea. As a think about what pieces I am going to sew or buy, I am definitely leaning towards making a plaid midi skirt. Stay tuned for pictures of my attempt!
