Unemployment sucks. I thought I forgot how to dress myself, but then I realized that I just have no where to go. When I don't have plans on a budget, I usually remain in my PJs, eat, job search online... But when I decide to take a walk I check the weather and then I sit on my bed thinking, what do I wear? I ask myself, "Is it an exercise walk or just a stroll? Will I be sitting at the park or beach drawing or reading? Will I be climbing the brutal hills of my suburban town?" I decided to create a Pinterest board and captioned all the fashion ideas. Here are a plethora outfits that inspired me.

It is easy to make fun of being unemployed, but make sure you practice gratitude. This positive idea is by the author Elizabeth Gilbert. It may be hard to enjoy the little things in life when you are stressed and depressed, but it is so important to take care of yourself. Be gentle with yourself. Surround yourself with positive people. I wish all Job Hunters not only a steady job, but a job that you love and pays very well. xo
