living well is the best revenge.

This is obviously not today’s actual outfit. Ben and I went to Zeus last weekend and these are our outfits! For those of you who don’t know what Zeus is, count your blessings and think of it as a fancy dress up ~~prison~~ event.

Today is for homework and later class. I still haven’t found my book for tonight. (the class is Part II, but I didn’t know I had to take Part II so I don’t know where the book is) I do think I will find it in time! I kept it in case I had to have this class. So I am thinking about going to New Orleans for the day tomorrow. I guess it will depend on if I get the majority of my homework done today.

“Sunday” Spotlight

2.20.12

For this week’s Sunday Spotlight, I stopped by John White, Ltd—one of my all time favorite places!! This store is also one of my parent’s favorite stores. They really have stuff for everybody! They have great clothes for women and men. And for you men out there looking to rent a tux—this is THE place to go!! I enjoyed talking to both Janet and John White about the store and can’t wait to visit again!

What inspired you to open?

John had already co-owned another store for 13 years and I had just graduated with a degree in merchandising, so it just seemed natural.

What do you love about fashion?

I love that fashion is ever changing. Reinventing itself.

What is the best part of owning your own store?

The best part of owning my store is that I (and John) am the boss. If something is good and retails it is great, but if it does not do good it is my fault, no one elses.

What is the worst or hardest thing about owning your own store?

The hardest thing is the hours. We work all the time.

Do you have any favorite items in the store?

All the items are my favorite! I hand picked them!

What are some future goals for the store?

Future goals are to keep doing what we love to do. John and I have been blessed to be able to do what we love to do and actually make a living at it.

Do you have anything you want to add?

Mardi Gras season is coming to an end, and we have set a new record on tuxedos and gowns! We have a lot of happy customers and that is the best reward ever!
