la belle et le desk job

"The hardest period in life is one’s 20s. It’s a shame because you’re your most gorgeous and you’re physically in peak condition, but it’s actually when you’re most insecure and full of self-doubt. When you don’t know what’s going to happen, it’s frightening."
-Helen Mirren

It all started innocently enough. Wall Street was Everest. Internships. 1st job. Sleepless nights, weeks, months... Then with years in the rearview mirror, it was time to step away and figure out exactly how far this breathless trek had taken me. Now this belle has made the leap into fashion. Here goes nothing!

A tour of my closet.

You’ll see I’m not into drawers, more of a folder. Plus, I hate buying any furniture so that works out for me.  But, stacking cotton tees does not make for a clean closet. In real life, it doesn’t feel as messy as it looks…

This is actually pretty much the way my closet is. Still working out a way to house my shoes though — I’ve been simply keeping them in their original boxes given that I have a pretty good memory of what each pair looks like. But I think I’ll get more use out of them if I can actually see them. Well, work in progress I guess.
