LOVED the models, LOVED the clothes. i just loved it all.
but this year just seems different. i'm different..
saw our show yesterday -- a couple things stood out to me:
the first being that the models looked ABSOLUTELY exhausted. some of these girls i can personally say that they have some of the cleanest, freshest looking faces i've ever seen. but yesterday when they walked i realized that it's now been about 3 years since i've been here and as glamorous the life of a model is, the reoccuring thought in my head was that there's so much more life to live. had you asked me a couple years back i would've said what's not to love---models get paid enough, it's only 2 weeks out of the year that they go through these grueling schedules, the hustle is worth it.
i'm not trying to discount the career of a model, nor this world in general as i live and work in it, but my thoughts revolving this world have gained a little more perspective recently, and it's been on my mind a lot.
the second thing that stood out to me was the look on ricky (ralph's wife) when ralph walked out at the end.
made me smile.
lastly, my favorite look from this year's collection (dress that followed it was a close second)
i must be 25, because it's become harder to meet up with friends who are in the same boat -- starting new chapters of their lives, whether it be law school, love, getting married, moving to a new city, a new country for a career. at this point in the game, nothing that we do is short-term anymore.
time just seems
more precious.
as happy as i am these days, one of my greatest fears is settling for something, anything.
i've done it before -- in relationships, in my job -- but i will not be that way. i just wont.
finding an equilibrium throughout it all is my biggest challenge.
feeling pensive today,
but will cheers to it being friday
whats not to love.
