I'm finally getting around to posting; it's more consistent for right now since so much time has already passed. Lol. Believe it or not, I'm still catching up as I forgot that this post was due to go live on the 12th, and it was nowhere near complete, haha.
Anywho, before the sun started to bake me, I was able to get more than enough wears in of my embroidered sweatshirt. I love embroidery and wish I could just sit down and focus on making these at home. So, when I purchased my embroidery machine to actually make tees and things at home, I didn't realize that in order to embroider custom artwork, you need software!
I had no clue what software to purchase, and when I finally got a clue, I learned that the software I downloaded a free trial for was not compatible with Mac. FML, right? Smh. Anywho, I found a new software program today, and let's just hope I muster up the creativity and energy to put it to work when I come back from my mini staycation next week. I know, I know... still putting it off, lol. Don't judge me.
I paired my sweatshirt with one of my favorite lightweight midi skirts. Y'all know I love a good drape and leg moment—so for this weather, this was the perfect throw-on. I don't remember how much this skirt was, but I think I definitely got it on sale.

I've been spending a lot of time procrastinating, which I'm sure isn't a surprise. It's been good procrastination, though. Lots of planning, preparing to execute. I don't remember if I wrote about getting approved to buy wholesale with S&S Activewear, but I did, and I finally purchased my inventory. I'm starting with a nice, neutral palette (like pretty much every tee business on IG), and I'm using flocked vinyl.
I absolutely love flocked vinyl! I hope that I prepare my launch well and bring in some good business. Y'all can check me out on IG @ brokebuthighmaintenance. I hope to start posting more content, but y'all know how that goes, haha.
Once I master the heat press, I eventually want to start working on these embroidered tees and crewnecks. I just have to focus—which I tell myself literally every day. It's hard, though! Ugh.
