“You will know how far you can go, when you pursue your passion and never stop trying.”
― Lailah Gifty Akita
Waking up this Monday morning was very exciting. It will officially be my last Monday dragging out of bed at 6:00AM. Typically my Monday’s are very hectic. Once I am out of bed I would hurry to get ready before waking my son around 6:30AM. I would get him dressed, make us breakfast, and then we rush out of the house by 7:30AM. I would drop him off at school and head to work afterwards. And now repeat this scenario five (5) times.
Sounds pretty busy, doesn’t it? Well, it is…was.
Most of you probably don’t know but I’ve been working full-time time aside from What Would V Wear, being a mother and wife. I’ve had a corporate job for the last 5 years and ever since I started my blog 1 ½ years ago my life became even busier.
I would work all day (9-5) using my lunch breaks to shoot outfit posts, then pick up my son from school, come home, have dinner, and then edit pictures. It was literally the same routine, Monday through Friday. My weekends are typically more fun and more family oriented, but I will have one or two photo shoots as well. Luckily my outfit shoots don’t take too long. I would seriously dread photo shoots if they took more than 2 hours since my weekends are my sacred family time.
The balancing act of three jobs (I am including my jewelry business) and motherhood finally hit a point where I had to make a decision: Which way do I want to go?
I decided to take the entrepreneurial route. I left my full-time corporate job to pursue my career in blogging and jewelry making.
So, what does this mean for What Would V Wear?
1. It means more exciting content! I am planning to blog four times a week. You can expect a new blog post every Mo, Tue, Wed and Fr.
2. I am expanding my handmade jewelry business with a new collection coming out in February!
3. Delivering new ideas from motherhood, home interior, etc. Stay tuned!
Are you excited? I certainly am! I’m over the moon to celebrate this new chapter in my life with you all today, and I’m so grateful for all of you! You gave me the courage to take a leap of faith to pursue my dream! Words cannot express how grateful I am for all of you. Thank you for your support, and please know that I will always support you as well.
And as a celebration my family and I are heading to Paris and Germany! Be sure follow along on Instagram and Snapchat (@WhatWouldVWear)!
PS: Beyond humbled and grateful to be featured in People Magazine’s current Stye Watch Magazine Issue. 2016 couldn’t have started any better. This is certainly the best surprise as I am starting my full-time blogging career.
As always, thanks so much for reading and thank you again for your support!
Much love, always.

Such amazing news, Vanessa! It’s always difficult taking such a big step like that.

The first year will be the toughest but you will find your rhythm and discover that you have so much time for the things in your life that matter most. So excited to see where this venture leads you and to be part of it. xx

What an amazing achievement you have done already…… Since starting last year, I have been loving the blogging life, but am worried that I would run out of ideas or inspiration or something. I love to type and feel that it will lead me somewhere!!! Would appreciate to hear what you think about entering blogging full time!!! <3 <3 <3
Congrats on finally making the full-time switch V!! You’ve always been such an inspiration on my own blog and I am so happy to see where you take the brand!

Hey! You look awesome girl. Sorry I haven’t been so active on your blog lately – I’ve been super busy. A friend and I created an app called Watcher, it’s a safety app for people who are afraid to walk home alone at night. Through some terrible experiences of my own (http://danikamaia.com/watcher-safety-app) I’ve learned you can never be too cautious and I’m super excited to share this new project! If you’ve every been scared walking home alone at night, I’d love if you could help me in spreading the word about Watcher so we can build a community of people looking out for each other.
Best,

Just came across your story on Fohr card – so inspiring for bloggers out there. Thanks for sharing! It’s uncanny how similar our situations are – juggling a job, fashion blog, and jewelry business! Congratulations on your achievement and can’t wait to follow your journey.
Love,

I’m a little late to the game, but a very belated congratulations to you, Vanessa!!! You are such an inspiration to me. I also work a full time corporate job that is quite demanding, it’s great to see that it is possible to take the leap and do it well. Will definitely be following your journey from now on : )

What a huge decision! I’m currently at the point where I’m juggling a full time job and blogging so I completely understand how you feel! Wishing you all the best in this new journey!
