Strongly Considering Starting My Own Business from Home

I lived in NYC for over 10 years and moved back to Chicago 4 years ago. When I got back to Chicago, I got married, had a baby and had a demanding career. During my stint in NYC, I was always on the cutting edge in terms of fashion. After getting back into the workforce with a new marriage, a new baby and carrying 60 extra pounds, I realized I had lost myself with all of the other new things taking away from my time. Last year, I decided to get my mojo back by losing 40+ pounds (20 more to go), taking time for me by exercising (had to get up earlier) and getting back into some of the things that I enjoy. I missed looking put together and when I looked up, I realized that I had no idea what was in style. I began educating myself about what was hot and decided there were probably a lot of women out there like myself.

From my fashionable family and people that I met along the way in NYC, I learned many things like: the importance of accessorizing; don't spend a lot on trends because they will be out of style next year; how simply adding one trendy accessory can bring new life and possibilies into an outfit. I have several investment pieces that I am able to get back into (pre-pregnancy fat clothes)and have begun updating my wardrobe with the proper accessories. I am tres' current and decided that I want to begin an online business (who really has time to shop for themselves)where I do eblasts sharing with women some of the things that I learned and offering quality costume jewelry at affordable prices (my goal is to keep everything at $20 or less).

If you're interested in receiving my eblasts which will begin in a couple of weeks, please send me your email address so that I can include it in my mailings. What are your thoughts?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

First of all I want to say "THANK YOU" for your encouragement and support! I didn't know what to expect and feel like crying because I am humbled and each of you has encouraged me by responding favorably. I had no idea I would be so overwhelmed by your responses...I didn't know if anyone would be interested. Thank you so much...you have no idea what you have done! I will be sending out the blast next week.

T....

Please add me to your email address. I had actually started working out and had already lost 10 lbs when I found out I was pregnant (and I am high risk... and am in bed rest); therefore, I am not working out anymore, but once the baby is born I plan on starting back again. I would like to find accessories that can help my outfit... especially now that I feel awful and need to buy a few maternity outfits. Here is my email ____@____.com
