And I'm off! Sorry guys, whole outfit is pretty much from an op-shop: Wittner boots.
24 hours. 1 restless sleep that will be spent checking my
alarm clock every hour on the hour lest I sleep through it...oh God, what if
there’s a blackout? This is just asking for disaster, maybe I won’t sleep?! But,
in theory, less than 24 hours and I’ll be mid air, well on my way to Shanghai
and my first real step – well, maybe jump or leap would be more fitting - into
the international fashion industry; and as illusive as that sounds, I can’t
imagine what the culture shock is going to do to the, while Asian-inspired, Devil Wear’s Prada picture I have in my
head.
In only a matter of days I’ll be starting my internship, decked out in
what I’m hoping will come across as summery Shanghai chic ensembles that also
account for the whopping temp rise from the frostiness of Melbourne to Shanghai’s
sweltering 30+ degree days. I’m packed, excessively in all the areas that count,
aka a few too many lippies (50 shades of pink anyone?), high waisted shorts
(florals, spots and everything in between) and shear white blouses that hopefully
convey that necessary business savvy and well, fashion sense.
And because I wasn’t
sure I’d find a spare, oh 3hrs, to do my nails over there (surely I’m not the
only nail perfectionist out there?!) I’ve prepped them with my fave polish that
will hopefully see me through the next few weeks!! – The perfect mint
green (courtesy of Revlon: jaded) Wish
me luck! I’ve got high hopes that this trip will be beyond incredible
Love Jess
