You guys, tonight is the night that we open West & Lou for a preview party and tomorrow is when we open for forever! Am I ready? No! Is it going to happen anyways? Yes! This is the question and answer session I have with myself every day lately. The best thing I’ve learned is that I’m probably never going to be 100% ready, but what needs to happen always will and it’s (usually) just fine. I mean not everything has to be perfect today. I’ve got many years of perfecting the store ahead of me. That’s one thing I learned for sure the last time we opened the shop. I’ll be posting a little bit more about re-opening the shop again and doing things for the second time around tomorrow (if I can get my life together between now and then. If it doesn’t happen tomorrow, you will know I drank too much at the party tonight.)
Since it’s almost opening day, I decided to wear my lucky skirt today. True, I’ve never won a game or held a winning lottery ticket in this skirt, but it’s my favorite so I feel that it gives off good vibes. Everyone needs a lucky piece in their closet and this is mine. Of course when you are 80-85% ready, you don’t need luck right? That’s what I keep telling myself.

That's so cool. Congratulations and good luck, all baked up in a muffin for you! 🙂 Are you going to stock Jess Lively's jewellery in the new shop? That just seems sort of logical and meant-to-be. 🙂
Great look…perfect for Fall!

How come you don't get free clothes. I look at tons of fashion blogs and I notice everyone else has c/o next to their new clothes. I assume if you got free stuff from stores you would put c/o too.
I love the brown of that vest… I'm currently on the hunt for a darker vest… got my light brown covered which I wear way too often!

good luck!!! love the skirt.
I'm assuming it's because she buys her clothing and blogs from a real place. She blogs about things she actually buys and not just stuff she gets for free (which she has plenty of, if you read back through). In my opinion, I would much prefer the real version versus someone just blogging about some piece of clothing because they have to.
Love this look esp the vest!
