Wow, where have I been? My blog feels like a child that’s been neglected. So sorry.
Well, where do I begin? A lot of things have happened. A lot of good stuff and not so great stuff. There is one particular thing that I can’t tell until the times right. And trust me, it’s worth the wait, because it’s amazing.
Hmm… So let’s see, last time I posted I was working at Disneyland. Well, now I’m working at Macy’s and still employed by Disneyland. Disneyland was an amazing, I got to see numerous celebrities. I had panic attacks on a daily basis because I would get so star struck. My co-workers would usher me to the back room before a celebrity would come in, because they knew I would make a scene. Ha, wimps. Oh, I forgot to tell you what I did there. I was a hostess for one of the restaurants for one of the hotels. Anyways, working at Disneyland was awesome.
Now I’m working at Macy’s. I worked there when I was 16, so it kinda was like riding a bike. To tell you the truth, I find the job incredibly boring and I need more of a challenge. I’ll be sending my resume out soon.
Things with my boyfriend are… just amazing. He’s my best friend and partner in life. I love him so very much.
He’s a keeper.
So since this blog is supposed to be about fashion, I might as well talk about what I’ve been learning in school. The fashion class I’m taking this semester is Fashion Buying (Goal is to be a Buyer.)
[Hold on a second… sorry, the song playing on Spotify was bugging me]
Fashion Buying has been an interesting class. Up until about… now, I’ve been enjoying the class. Just last week, we started getting into the math part of the class. [Insert barfing noise] I know math is involved, but I’m horrible at it and I’m in denial that it’s important. But anyways, it is an interesting class, and I do want to pursue Fashion Buying as a career. I’ll share a few things I’ve learned this semester. [I’ll make it simple, for those of you who are not familiar with retail/fashion.]
What is Inventory?
- Represents the amount of money a retailer has invested in stock; all sales come from inventory
- Inventory as an asset has an impact on net wort
- To prepare financial statements retailers need to know the value of their inventory
- Most reliable method of finding worth: a physical inventory, actually counting
- To avoid many costly counts, perpetual inventory adjusts purchases and physical
- In theory, book inventory should always equal physical inventory
- Running inventory- what you think you have is reality
I need to get to class, so I’ll teach you more about inventory later.
