Big Announcement: Becoming a full-time Blogger

Full Time Blogging_What Would V Wear_Top Blogger_Vanessa Lambert

“You will know how far you can go, when you pursue your passion and never stop trying.”

― Lailah Gifty Akita

Waking up this Monday morning was very exciting. It will officially be my last Monday dragging out of bed at 6:00AM. Typically my Monday’s are very hectic. Once I am out of bed I would hurry to get ready before waking my son around 6:30AM. I would get him dressed, make us breakfast, and then we rush out of the house by 7:30AM. I would drop him off at school and head to work afterwards. And now repeat this scenario five (5) times.

Sounds pretty busy, doesn’t it? Well, it is…was.

Full Time Blogging_What Would V Wear_Vanessa Lambert_3

Most of you probably don’t know but I’ve been working full-time time aside from What Would V Wear, being a mother and wife. I’ve had a corporate job for the last 5 years and ever since I started my blog 1 ½ years ago my life became even busier.

I would work all day (9-5) using my lunch breaks to shoot outfit posts, then pick up my son from school, come home, have dinner, and then edit pictures. It was literally the same routine, Monday through Friday. My weekends are typically more fun and more family oriented, but I will have one or two photo shoots as well. Luckily my outfit shoots don’t take too long. I would seriously dread photo shoots if they took more than 2 hours since my weekends are my sacred family time.

What Would V Wear_Full Time Blogging Career

The balancing act of three jobs (I am including my jewelry business) and motherhood finally hit a point where I had to make a decision: Which way do I want to go?

I decided to take the entrepreneurial route. I left my full-time corporate job to pursue my career in blogging and jewelry making.

So, what does this mean for What Would V Wear?

1. It means more exciting content! I am planning to blog four times a week. You can expect a new blog post every Mo, Tue, Wed and Fr.

2. I am expanding my handmade jewelry business with a new collection coming out in February!

3. Delivering new ideas from motherhood, home interior, etc. Stay tuned!

Are you excited? I certainly am! I’m over the moon to celebrate this new chapter in my life with you all today, and I’m so grateful for all of you! You gave me the courage to take a leap of faith to pursue my dream! Words cannot express how grateful I am for all of you. Thank you for your support, and please know that I will always support you as well.

And as a celebration my family and I are heading to Paris and Germany! Be sure follow along on Instagram and Snapchat (@WhatWouldVWear)!

PS: Beyond humbled and grateful to be featured in People Magazine’s current Stye Watch Magazine Issue. 2016 couldn’t have started any better. This is certainly the best surprise as I am starting my full-time blogging career.

As always, thanks so much for reading and thank you again for your support!

Much love, always.

    Such amazing news, Vanessa! It’s always difficult taking such a big step like that. I left my corporate job two years ago to start my own communications consulting business and am so happy with the changes it’s brought to my life. The first year will be the toughest but you will find your rhythm and discover that you have so much time for the things in your life that matter most. So excited to see where this venture leads you and to be part of it. xx

    Congratulations Vanessa! I am so proud of you. You are such an inspiration. I honestly don’t know how you’ve managed for this long to juggle all that you have. I have a corporate job too and can barely managed posting two days a week. Lol! I wish you lived close so I could pick your brain and get some tips. You’re fortunate to have a husband who takes great photos! I admire that so much. Paying for photography is expensive. I am so excited for what’s to come and read all your new content.

    Congrats on your feature in People Style Watch. That’s amazing!

    Have so much fun on your trip, I’ll be sure to follow along on insta. Enjoy this time with your husband and son. What fun!

    Congrats again lovely! Beautiful photos.

You are such an example to me. I couldnt be happier for you. This is so cheezy but I literally teared up when I read this. 1 because I am so happy for you!!! 2 it just hits home it is my goal to be able to quite my time consuming corporate job to be able to just blog. I am happy to see it is working out for you! Thanks for the extra motivation! I am proud and so happy for you!

Doing what you love is so important, it is definitely a basic ingredient to a happy life. I have just visited your shop and I am more than impressed with your designs, I love everything that is or reminds me of the boho way of life. I will surely pick up a few beauties as soon as the weather stops being so damn cold!

    Amazing news darling… so happy for you!! I didn’t realize you weren’t already a full-time blogger… and that says a lot. You are SO dedicated, and that’s amazing!! Now you can pursue this passion even more, and you deserve it. I know what you mean about the routine and getting up…to work…and yadda yadda… it’s not amazing, especially when your interests are elsewhere. I’m proud of you and I hope you have an awesome celebratory vacay!! Good for you pretty lady!

    I know I’m seeing this late, but go you Vanessa! Follow your dreams, act upon them and make the impossible happen! I love your blog and I know it will be very successful.
    I want to completely start again with my blog; I want to invest in good camera equipment and start again on WordPress instead of blogger. It will take me a while but I’m going to do what I love too.
    All the best.

    So much congratulations hun! It makes my heart swell with pride whenever I see a blogger write one of these posts. I would love to see a post on how you managed to handle everything during those 18ish months. I’m going to start my first 9-5 corporate job next month as well as run my blog and go to university so I need some tips haha!
    Have a lovely day xx

    What an adventure!!! I love this post and the intimate level and approach you have, but I would like to start off with, how do you become a FULL TIME blogger? What an amazing achievement you have done already…… Since starting last year, I have been loving the blogging life, but am worried that I would run out of ideas or inspiration or something. I love to type and feel that it will lead me somewhere!!! Would appreciate to hear what you think about entering blogging full time!!! <3 <3 <3

  84. February 24, 2016 / 5:00 PM

    Congrats on finally making the full-time switch V!! You’ve always been such an inspiration on my own blog and I am so happy to see where you take the brand!

    Hope to see you again soon!

    Hey! You look awesome girl. Sorry I haven’t been so active on your blog lately – I’ve been super busy. A friend and I created an app called Watcher, it’s a safety app for people who are afraid to walk home alone at night. Through some terrible experiences of my own (http://danikamaia.com/watcher-safety-app) I’ve learned you can never be too cautious and I’m super excited to share this new project! If you’ve every been scared walking home alone at night, I’d love if you could help me in spreading the word about Watcher so we can build a community of people looking out for each other.

    Best,
    Danika

    I’m a little late to the game, but a very belated congratulations to you, Vanessa!!! You are such an inspiration to me. I also work a full time corporate job that is quite demanding, it’s great to see that it is possible to take the leap and do it well. Will definitely be following your journey from now on : )
