Fuck This
Sorry I have been pretty absent from this blog. I feel like "Fashion" had been wearing me out a bit and I wasn't enjoying it as much anymore. I was thinking about it 24/7, studying it, designing it, wearing it, blogging it and it was too much. I'm getting back on track... sort of, but I'm going to try have more fun with clothes and myself really.
I'm completely stressing out though because I have no idea what I want to do with my life.... HELP. I don't know whether I even want a job in fashion now... Its so weird not knowing what you enjoy anymore... its an odd feeling.
How do you go about deciding the path and career you want to take for the rest of your life???
Anyone???

i don't know if i'd want a career in fashion... i just try to surround myself with art and pretty things, and what i wear is just an aspect of that. it's pretty open, and i can't ever see myself "giving up" on it, it's just too much a part of who i am... i hope you find your "calling" (or whatever it is) soon!
Still working on that question myself... I thought I knew what I wanted and then three years into college I was lost. Still figuring it out two years later but finished school and it makes it a little easier.
Well, I tell you what...
I would break fingers for a job in fashion. But, the grass is always greener on the other side...
At least have fun with it for yourself, how could you not?!?! It's the most fun self-expression EVER.
Don't forget that.

I'm about to graduate college this year and I have no idea what I want to do. I figure that I got a the degree I wanted now and I can figure out what to do with my life once it happens.
I'm just going to start working, get a job and if I hate it, I look another direction.
Good luck figuring out what you want to do. Its completely understandable that you would want to take a break from fashion if it is all you do.
when i went through that (and i still am kinda) i just worked out what i enjoyed doing, and found out a way that i could do it. that sounds weird but, just write a list of things you won't ever get tired of doing, and work out what jobs/careers or businesses you can build could fit around those things. also write down what things you don't want to do, which is maybe more helpful!
I'm having the same problem, I've applied to do retail management and business at uni and I'm not sure its right to go for a job which is kind of meaningless. Some of my friends are going to become lawyers/psychologists/forensic investigators, and here I am applying to set my life up with quite a superficial career.
However, I believe that its not only your career description that makes you happy in your job, its the people you work with (and the money of course! )
So I'm not tooo worried and I don't think you should be either.
I have been a follower of your blog for aaages and I think you have a real flair for fashion. Try to think of it as a fun interest again and maybe just go with the flow and relax a bit! At least for a little while!

Not an easy question!
I've finished my studies and I still don't know what I want to do...So it's hard to find a job!
It's so difficult to find our path...
But please come back with style picture...I missed you :)
I came to uni wanting to become an English teacher. I think finally moving to a big city showed me a lot more than the little village I come from ever could, and I found the world of fashion. I'd always loved fashion but never knew just how much. Now I'm determined to spend my life living and breathing it in fashion journalism. I think you just know when you're meant to do something, because it doesn't feel like work.

I find this question vital in our everyday life.. For me fashion is a path, a disease and a cure.. But it cannot be the only thing life spines around.
I think if you're tired of "the Fashion" you should try and find a new approach to it.. Or simply go another way. If it's destined, it will eventually come back to you. Because if you don't feel it part of you, there is no point. It's all pretty much like love. [and in love sometimes you hate it with your heart]
Good luck!
Hmm I think it's important to take a step back and not think about fashion for a awhile. See if you miss it. :)

I think that's a questions that troubles everyone ata some point in their life.I think that if you do something 2 much and you build your life around it your likely to have days or even weeks- months were you just not feeling it,im the same.If you didnt have those days you wouldnt enjoy the good days-everything would be the same. Maybe if you try different activities and limit the amount of time you spend around fashion- you might enjoy it more. Get out there-live your life-get your heart broken-fix it back-try new stuff etc
Aww man I'm going through the same thing. I thought I wanted to work in fashion and I kind of still do but not really. I have a degree and no interest in pursuing anything related to it unless it's fashion related. So now I'm just working as a catering waiter until I figure myself out. Ugh. Unfortunately I feel as though time is running out. Anyway, good luck to you.
I think (and this is not very helpful I know) that mosat people just sort of fall sideways into their careers. Me, I tried something out, hated it, jumped at the first opportunity to do something different and found out that it suited me quite well!
Go for what you love now, there's nothing to say you can't change your mind later on! I can totally understand that all fashion all the time gets too much sometimes.
Oh my god i'm going through this crisis for the second time now!! I study english at the mo, but now i'm doing my degree i definitely know i don't want to do anything to do with English!! I think it's just a natural phase when you're at uni 'cause i know a few of my friends who are going through the same thing...!
The first time i went through this was at A-level when I was studying textiles and I wanted to be a fashion designer... but i gave it up because i simply got too stresed! I really regret it now, so i think you just have to go with your instinct and keep your chin up! Good luck, I'm sure you'll be successful in whatever you do! xoxo
I always knew I wanted to be a journalist but still I had rouble findind what field I liked more and I've learned it is all a matter of trying different things!! good luck!!!
sweetie, one thing to keep in mind is that you don't have to do just one thing your whole life. So don't panic, it'll work out.
:(
I feel your pain, I really do. I've just spent 3 years studying law - I've wanted to go into law for over 12 years, only to realize that I actually don't want to have a career in that field.
All I would say is that the last year of your course is always tough, because the end is so close, but you have been immersed in it for so long, you just get fed up with it.
Just try not to pressure yourself one way or another.
One of the things I found hardest was the fact that by deciding not to pursue a career in law I felt like I was giving up on a dream, giving up on my 10 year old self.
What I had to remember, (and you should bare in mind as well!) is that I'm not the same person I was when I was 10 - I'm a different person, and there's nothing wrong with that.
You just have to figure out what the person you are now, wants to do :)
That might be the same thing you wanted to do when you were younger, it might be something completely different - but don't feel bound to pursue something you wanted to do when you were a different person.
Myeah, hope that helps a little bit ok :)
If all else fails just remember to smile :)
wow, Im kinda overwhelmed by all your lovely comments! You guys are amazing and I really appreciate your comments. They have defo helped me feel better (and brighter) about my future. I guess you just gotta take each step as it comes....
Thanks again! Love u all
Its never for the rest of your life, you can always change, the most you can do is do what you need to that day, make decisions for the moment and sooner or later those sequential decisions will make up a day and those days add up to your life, your path. If you don't like one decision then step back and check out other options, your never stuck and the road that you think of your self being on in five years is usually pretty different that what you thought or invisioned.
people change their minds so much but i understand if you just want to decide already haha. i want to be a stylist but i think too 'man will i get tired of that?' or i think should i just go to school and do nursing er something. I love both but which one do i love more? fashion! so i could understand if you're tired of it and maybe you needed a small break yannoe? but i think once you're out of it for a while and giving yourself a rest for all the chaos you'll realize that fashion is what you love... i think haha :)
i feel the same . i am studying nursing medicine at the moment i am half way through the five years but i think i want to work in fashion . . . .x
I used to love fashion but then I realised that I enjoyed life more when I was just myself and learnt not to try too hard! I almost pity girls I see in the street who are wearing all the ridiculous and quite frankly ugly trends! I am 21 and have just started studying medicine, I won't qualify for 6 years so never think you are too old to change your career choices and do something that will make you fulfilled and satisfied, I know its a cliche but life's too short to do something you have doubts about.
I feel the same. . . sort of. I'm still in sixth form but I have no idea what I want to do with my life! I love languages so I know I'm going to study French and Russian at uni but what after that?!!! My mum just keeps telling me not to worry - I can always change my mind. She'd been stuck in a profession she hated for years and then went back to uni at 43! So that give me some hope. I hope it gives you hope too! wow, lots of hopes!
