Shit just got real...Fashion on the Move!

Today my vision for Nic & Kat became one step closer to a reality...as I signed the paperwork to purchase a vintage Airstream it almost felt surreal...I thought to myself...Shit!!! I am really doing this! It's funny how a tangible item can make us feel that way...I have spent countless hours and efforts searching for the right trade shows to attend, completing paperwork, educating myself on fabrics and fashion, becoming a legal business, trying to develop a perfect website and brand, and obviously $$$....but for some reason signing the paperwork today to make this bad boy below mine made it all seem so much more real...

Knowing all the work that is going to be put into the Airstream to make it the perfect host for my store reminded me of when the World saw me in a different light. The Airstream above is plain...and for years people saw me that way as well...and to be honest, I was either too naive to realize it or was okay the way I was that  I didn't even notice I was being treated differently... but then, one day someone showed me what a little "polish" could do...how dressing to fit my body, a little makeup, and something on my feet other than tennis shoes could create a change in how people treated and responded to me....and if I'm truthful, I liked it. 

I'm not advocating that changing yourself is the right thing but I would be lying if I said once I was "polished up" that things didn't change for me...and before you say it... NO, its not fair...but it's life and while we don't have to fall into normalcy we do have to recognize our outward presentation is what creates and generates first opinions.

Okay, I'm off the soap box (maybe)...

 I think I'm excited about renovating this old metal bullet  because I know that the picture above doesn't scream glamour, beauty, or class...but neither did I for years....until someone showed me how... and therein lies my hope for my store and for life...not to change people but to give them tools to present their awesomeness through fashion in a World that chooses to see the outside before seeing the inside...

 I can not wait to document the transition of this beast turned beauty and share it with all of you! I hope in part you will be impressed enough to buy something once we are up and running :) lol... but I also hope that you will be inspired...to follow your own dreams, passions, and desires...no matter how big or small they may be! I am putting everything I have into this dream....both time and money...and my God it is scary...but I know that if I don't I will forever wonder "what if" and well I don't know about you but I'm not a girl who accepts "if's". :)

Till Next Time,

PS: Note: If you see me on the road...I'm a rookie at pulling a trailer of any type so beware! lol :)
