I lost my fashion

Simply put, I lost my fashion. I'm trying to remember where I saw it last.

I have been doing a little soul searching the past few weeks, and I figured out that my fashion has been lost at least 5-6 years, since I left JCPenney in 2004. The fact that it has been lost that long and I am just now noticing it is quite frightening. When I worked at JCPenney I was Senior Visual Merchandising Manager and I was skinny and stylish, then I left there and worked for Steve and Barrys, which I wore jeans and a polo almost every day, then I went and worked for Macy's and wore BLACK every day!! and that store was so warm 9 months out of the year that I sweated all of my make-up off by 10am everyday, not to mention what my hair looked like. Now that I have been self employed for almost 6 months I rarely get dressed before noon, and usually brush by hair by 3pm when its time to pick up my daughter at school.
 
 Somebody needs to get a job!! And buy a Vogue!
 I have slowly sunk into a hole. Where am I??

Not until recently when I interviewed for a very fashionable and hip store in the mall did I realize that I had no idea what was going on in the fashion world. My addiction for fashion magazines was replaced by Country Living and Martha Stewart (which is OK, I love these mags). I began to despise VOGUE magazine for airbrushing too much, I would buy Elle Decor before Elle...................I let my subscription to WWD expire...
Geesh! Scary

Man!! I hope I get his job!!
