Bold Act #1- At some point during Alt (which I leave for in a couple of hours), I will be wearing the above dress and shoes... Together.
Yes, I realize for some this is not bold in the least. I know that some consider leopard "a neutral" and wear it with with abandon -- with prints, with stripes, with prints and stripes.
I am not one of these people.
For me, leopard is a print, and (again, for me) prints are best teamed-up with with neutrals. So pairing the leopard shoes with a red and black print dress adorned with silver studs (the dress alone is waaay out of my wheelhouse) is a bold move on my part. Big time.
image via D HomeBold Act #2 -- I resigned from my job of 13 years and accepted a position as an editor at D Home magazine (my dream job). So there's that too. Bold-o-rama!
I'll give you guys more details after Alt. Stay tuned...
OMG...Exciting days ahead for sure! So excited for you! And see you in a bit! Safe travels!

Love the dress, which as my sis mentioned was her new years dress. Super hot with the shoes. Re. the job - mega congrats! Sometimes all we need is a small shift to get the ball rolling. So happy for you.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on your new job!:)
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHH!! Amazing, Joslyn. (And well deserved!)

ReplyDeletecongratulations on such an exciting change! it's very inspiring...excited to see what comes of it.

New job?! So exciting! Congratulations.
ReplyDeletewow! congratulations! that sounds like an amazing opportunity. I am trying to incorporate more bold acts into my life in 2012. it's hard! my friends don't "think" like I do and they tend to make fun of anything different or bold. but I'm going to rock my navy and green striped shirt and be bold. why not? it's nothing compared to resigning and starting a new chapter in your life.
ReplyDeleteWow Joslyn - congratulations on your career change. So happy for you! Love the dress too! Cheers and hope you had a blast at Alt!! xoxox
ReplyDeleteWow. Congrats! And totally loving your new boldness. xo Tracey
ReplyDeleteJoslyn! What?! I didn't read this before I left. I would have congratulated you when I saw you! Congrats! So proud of you!
ReplyDeleteAnd you worked it Mama! Was, per usual rocked by your style and grace. And left coveting your dress, stripes and orange nails. I think a shopping trip in Dallas is a must, stat. Really more time with you is a must - whatever we actually do. xo
ReplyDeleteJoslyn ~
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! D knew what greatness they would add to the team when they came to you! So thrilled to see you making a dream a reality.
You are definitely a rock star...seriously.
Loved seeing you at ALT.
And I'll email this week for a necklace or better yet, I'm more than happy to let you choose one for me and I'll send greenbacks. ;)
Bisous,
Melissa
It was so great to see you again at ALT! I really enjoyed talking with you! Congrats on your new job!! You will be successful at whatever you do! xo
