Dream Job

Everyone has one. I have approximately 3... I think. Or 5. I don't know. Actress, interior decorator, fashion designer, ballerina. Yeah, that last one is never going to happen, but hey, I'll live.

My earliest dream job (well, post-ballerina, I knew at a young age that I just wasn't cut out for a life of starving and bloodied toes) was to be a clothing designer. Ahh, clothes. They're everything. I would scour style.com in middle school, creating desktop backgrounds from all the new collections. I would spend hours dreaming up clothes, sketching them, and coloring them in with my crayolas. I still sketch every now and then. Gowns were , and are still, my favorite. My jaw still drops when I see images like these:

What is, or was, your dream job?

To be an author.

I'm working on it.

But, I ADORE evening gowns.

Ah, all of those dresses are so pretty! My dream job would be to blog professionally - I love writing and I think it would be SO amazing to be able to blog as a career!

All of those gowns are gorgeous. My dream job growing up was to be a screenwriter. I hated hollywood though, so I know now that it's not the environment for me.

Now...I still struggle to find out what that my new dream is. I love travel writing and would love to continue it, but after I have kids I wonder if it'll change again.
