I create...a lot....on the daily. But sometimes I feel like a machine, a robot, always striving to ensure that the next thing is better than the last. Everyday I’m hustling...because this dream I manifested is now a J.O.B. And, that ain’t always sexy (especially when you’re knee deep in quickbooks and people have questions about their health insurance 🙈) Sometimes I’m so overwhelmed that I forget to breathe. Sometimes I go down a rabbit hole full of self doubt and think that my worth is contingent upon what I can come up with next (This is 💯 inaccurate, people). But, I’m often so fixated on making this journey a “success” that I forget that back in the day each and every thing I created used to bring me so much joy (even when it was shit). I used to be just a chubby little girl with a dream to make the world if even a bit brighter with my colors and shapes. And that evolved into a desire to make women feel powerful and unforgettable. But through the hustle and as time goes on, you don’t always have time for reflection, and appreciation for your craft often takes a back seat (not to mention bitches get tired). But tonight in the back of a cab, stuck in the rain, on the damn bridge like friggin groundhogs day...I lost it! My brand post popped up on time in my personal feed, as it was scheduled to, and I don’t know the trigger really, but I cried like a baby. The Fiona gown is one of my favorite pieces of all time, and instead of looking at it through critical, “business of fashion”, @juliannabass eyes, I saw it as the real Julianna Bass who with the best team ever made that vision come to life. And, it felt good to say, “that’s a damn fine dress girl, so you just go right ahead and cry about how much you love it!” Appreciate your craft. Trust the process. Lose your shit sometimes. Drink wine. Repeat. 🤷🏻‍♀️✌️💜#tgif #juliannabass #AW18 #decoabsurdist #fiona #navyallday #pleatsplease @chloewheatcroft @ryanmichaelkelly @coreytuttlehair @christopherardoff
