What a day! Here's how it went...
10am - Thanks to a great friend and supporter, we were afforded the opportunity to walk through Coterie and meet lots more good people. We spent the morning strolling the aisles trying to figure it all out, made a few acquaintences, sought out any competition and determined that we need to be at Coterie next season. We loved it. Being there completely rejuvinated us. We are re-inspired and ready to make a go of Overton Monroe for many seasons to come. This is not a hobby....our hearts are too invested! Good thing we were reminded of this.
1pm - Curve was super cool too...but we realized that, even though we'll likely be hanging on the floor with bras & panties in the majors (hopefully someday soon), we really want to be considered closer to contemporary ready-to-wear. So, another great realization...Curve is not the trade show for us. But all you guys out there should DEFINITELY check it out....it's a lingerie trade show;-)
2pm - Headed to SoHo for a key meeting at 3:30pm with more great people! Brighter future, lots of fun, ready to move on professionally to an amazing new opportunity. Couldn't be happier! We have to keep in mind that while OM is moving ahead full force, I still need to work and will continue working indefinitely (call me crazy but I love to work).
5pm - Home to Jersey to take a little break, chill with my hubby before heading back into the city for the last meeting of the day.
7pm - Back to SoHo for our dinner meeting at Balthazar. Praying that something comes of it. Made new friends and Jerry and I are excited to be broadening our network.
1am - Home
Today? Super tired but lots more to do. We have a video interview at 1pm. Not quite sure what to expect but we're going with it!
Tomorrow? Hello New Orleans! Woo-hoo! Building memories with my bros and sistas (hubby too).
The more we can grow our circle, the more support we're likely to stumble upon. But most importantly...if we can do this by surrounding ourselves with good people, we'll feel success to have built a business well grounded with genuine support.
Oh! One more thing!! We have more press! Check out this great article: http://www.informalrunway.com/2011/02/introducing-overton-monroe/
