I have spent the better part of my life trying figure out what I want to do with myself. I have been trained in musical theater and radio broadcasting, both of which I also did professionally and have worked in the fashion industry as shop girl, retail store manager and assistant buyer. I even went corporate for a while and worked as a recruiter. Though I enjoyed these vocations (some a helluva lot more than others), there was still always something missing. Something that wasn't quite right. Something that still made it difficult to get my fashionable behind out of bed in the mornings. Suffice it to say, I am not a morning person. But still.
A and I started 365 Fashion Rehab as a laugh and, mostly, just to see if we could do it. But now, over eight months in, something has dawned on me. This realization has been creeping up on me over time, but in light of recent events, it has washed over me, soaking me completely in the absolute certain knowledge that I have found it. I have finally found what I love to do. I love writing. I love fashion. And I love that 365 Fashion Rehab (and A, my rehab sister) have given me the opportunity to do it every day. Well, every other day. (I swear, there were days when, if you had met me on the street, I would have told you I was never gonna find it, that it just wasn't gonna happen for me and I was going live my entire life trying new things but continuing to feel lackluster.) And it is so lustrous!
I want to say thank you, dear reader, thank you for reading our blog. For by reading this you are, in a way, making my newly realised dreams come true. Without you, we would be nothing.
Love, P

Fantastic that this experiment has resulted in this realization!
I've been late discovering your blog, but I'm really enjoying it. In fact, you've inspired me to perhaps try something like this myself. However, given my absolute lack of willpower, I may have to start small. Like one week.
Rachel,
You can do it! It doesn't matter if it's only a week, you will no doubt learn something. Plus, you can learn vicariously though us!
Thanks for your comments and your support!
Love, A&P
I'm totally learning vicariously through you! I would just love to put it into practice. ;)
I love the writing, you both have a real flare for it, this blog has totally cracked me up!!!!!!!!! I knew you both so long ago, and still see the same two gals, having fun, and loving one another. I spent the better part of the day reading your posts, and so enjoyed them. Congrats to you both!
Laura!
Oh my! How are you, long-lost friend? Thank you so much for the kind words and all the support!
Wow! 365 Fashion Rehab is almost better than Facebook at reuniting old friends. Amazing to hear from you!
Love, P
