The
other day while I was blissfully enjoying my summer, I decided to pop into Target
to look for some good ole’ fashion home clearance items. Don't judge me.
While I perused the aisles in search for that $9.99 home item that was
once $29.99, my shopping was abruptly stopped. I saw
what no mother of two should see during her summer vacation
the back the school section!
Yes! I wandered into the section looking for deals
on garden tools, patio furniture, heck, I would have even settled for some
solar powered lawn lights. But the whole entire backyard oasis section
was replaced with, wide ruled composition books of various colors, #2 pencils
and book bags.
Surely
there had to be some kind of mistake! I had at least 5 weeks, 3 days, 10 hrs.
, 23 mins and 15 seconds until back to school.
Was this
some Jedi mind trick? Was I being punked? Nope, it was real and the
display that housed the supply list for our school was my pinch test.
While I pushed my cart away from the back to school section, I slowly
started to think "Am I ready for the new school year". Sure, I graduated
from college years ago, but it was time to update my wardrobe and my personal
brand.
Certainly,
I didn't need a pack of 24 washable crayons but a new baylage hair color in
mahogany brown would suffice. A new book bag wasn't needed either, but a new
saddle bag in crimson red would do the trick. While I was at it, my
makeup up bag, which was an old Kate Spade pencil case needed to be upgraded as
well.
How will
you update your personal brand this fall?
