Back to School Tears

Posted on by Walk In My Heels in Uncategorized

I have a 5th Grader..         As if my son turning 10 this summer wasn’t hard enough, back to school starts  today. 

 

Back to school means summer is over in theory. I know most moms are excited for their children to go back to school, however, NOT ME! No more lazy mornings, no late night movies, no long vacations, no last minute trips. The school year for us means being on a schedule, packing lunches, sports practices, weekend games, tutor sessions and the awful dreaded HOMEWORK….

1st Day of 5th Grade-

For a week now, I have been holding back the tears every time we discuss the new school year but today I put on my water proof mascara knowing  that this is the last time I will be walking him into school as an elementary student, most likely the last time I will get to see his classroom on the 1st day of school, and the last time I will get to take his picture at his desk.

Where has the time gone I wonder. Wishing I just could turn back the clock or slow the time down. However, I know each new year, brings new life lessons along this journey.

My first Love is for fashion, rather I am shopping for myself, or styling others. I love creating outfits and finding accessories to match. Which explains why I spent 20+ years in the industry. I truly love to inspire others, rather by my dress or my kind words. So please be kind and don’t judge when there maybe an error in my writing ;) My love for fashion started at a very young age and like a lot of girls I played dress up in my mother’s closet. Most of my Saturdays where spent shopping with my mom any chance I could get. At 16 years old I was finally able to realize my dream and begin my career in fashion retail! My 20+ years of Retail Management Experience has given me the opportunity to work for some really amazing Fashion Brands. I retired in 2015 when I met the man of my dreams that allowed me to pursue a new direction. After 3 years of being retried and baby # 2 I realized I was missing the fashion world. My love of fashion and realistic outlook on affordability in today’s economy has led me here, to share my thoughts, outfits, sales, steals and deals, designer dupes and a little more about me.
