Hey my loves, I'm talking about my journey to entrepreneurship so far. Its been a couple of months I ditched my job for personal reasons and I got around focusing on blogging. Along the way, I started my own wedding planning company with additional services like bouquet designing and very soon, tasty cocktails and mocktails. All for very affordable prices. This blog has also been more recognised recently with more brand collaborations and sponsored content and I couldn't be more thankful.
I have had my hands full and I'm beginning to wonder if I really need to take up a new job if it comes along. But wait, if its good, I'll take it o! Exploring my passion has made me so happy in recent times. It feels good waking up in the morning and looking forward to doing what you love, no matter how small. Like my hubby will say, "Never despise the days of little beginnings". He believes I'm going to BLOW soon and has begged me not to forget him when I do. Lol.

What kills us human beings sometimes is the fear of the unknown. What if! What if not! All I am going to say is, Move on from that position if it doesn't feel right. Life is too short to be merely existing and not living. Sometimes, disappointments are a blessing in disguise. I decided to take the bull by the horns and in less than three months, I'm loving it already. It has not been easy and I may not be mega wealthy yet but I only wonder what it will be like by the end of the year by the special grace of God.

Okay, today's outfit post is such a beautiful one. This lovely jumpsuit is by a brand called Seraphine by Kosi. She is an upcoming designer based in Lagos and she wanted me to be her muse with a few outfits. This jumpsuit was love at first sight. You be the judge. The fabric, the colour, the pattern, the style, the finishing. Every single thing about it is a hit back to back. Lol. I have all the events where I want to wear this outfit to lined up in my head. The blush colour had me pairing it with my blush coloured sandals and the black detailing inspired the mini bag I am carrying. A classic red lip finished the look. So if you love this outfit, make sure you contact Kosi. Her contact is down below. Leave your comments as usual, I'll be glad to see them.

DeleteWow! where do I even start with this post? first of, quitting your job!! that is one of the most courageous things anyone can do, its extremely difficult to take that plunge without knowing how the future will turn out and I admire you -deeply- for that. I pray that all your dreams will come true and you won't have any reason to regret anything. Oh and I completely agree with your hubby, I know you are going to blow soon and don't forget me too o .
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I'm excited to see the posts you come up with now that you have more time to dedicate to the blog, as well as the new wedding venture.
Finally, let me just appreciate the beauty of that jumpsuit, the colour and design and how you've accessorized it -minimal, simple, classic-, great job as always Alma.
Ify! Thanks a lot. It wasn't an easy decision I tell you. But I just needed to have of my peace of mind and that's what I'm enjoying now. Hopefully another great and better job comes along. In the meantime, self development is my goal. New things will come to the blog ASAP! oh and thanks for compliments on the jumpsuit, you rock!
DeleteThankss Dawn.
