Continuing on my Polyvore tour of the Spring/Summer Holla Knits collection, today I’m tackling Finishing School!
Inspired by what Emma Welford did for her blog tour stop, I wanted to try my hand at some hot Polyvore action.
I’m having fun playing around with it! Though it’s quickly becoming clear how I consistently dress like a clown. I also don’t wear jewelry, and a big part of styling these polyvore boards is jewelry. I’m going with it, though!
Here I’ve got my In a While Crocodile tee with a high waist bright yellow pencil skirt, a big floppy red hat, pink flats, and cream sunnies. It’s really no wonder that women say to me often, ‘Wow, you sure are colorful.’
The Fall/Winter submission call closed on Monday, so the week has been dedicated to sorting through submissions and trying to build the next collection.
Lots and lots and lots of packages!
I really hate this part. I’ve been writing rejection emails all week and it’s pretty terrible. I know how much I put into my submissions and how disappointed I am when I get rejected, so every email I send is pretty torturous. I just try to be honest and direct about why I’m not accepting each person’s design for the collection, and it takes time, and then before I know it three hours has gone by and I’ve only written four emails. Eventually I’m going to have to do a form letter, but until then submission deadline week is just going to be ROUGH.
The good news is that this means progress is being made on the new collection! The bad news is that if I give myself an ulcer I don’t have health insurance. Oy!
