As you probably already know, I’ve been working on launching a web design business. The whole process is taking me longer than I thought, mainly because I’ve been juggling other projects, as well as part-time work.
One of the other reasons it’s been taking me longer than expected is because I’ve lost some of my information not once, but twice now.
Consider this a little public service announcement: Always back up your files!
It’s actually one of the most important lessons they taught us in school. When you’re working on any project, whether it’s for the web or print (heck, even a term paper)… always back up your work on multiple sources. It sounds really simple, and quite obvious, but for some reason, I didn’t do that for this particular project.
Just…back up your stuff, okay?!

Cozy Sweater – Joe Fresh (Same) || Jeans – SFAM via Sak’s Off Fifth (Similar)

Stay tuned for the exciting announcement about my web design site – coming SOON!

I learned that lesson the hard way too! And I’ve learned it the hard way a couple times…which I guess means I didn’t learn my lesson the first time. lol. It totally sucks when you loose all your work. I usually feel like crying, but instead end up yelling at the computer like it actually understands me. lol. Your outfit looks super cozy and I love the leopard on your boots!

Arghhh, super bummer, lady! I HATE IT when my tech fails me. Like I can’t deal.
This sweater is ace + the styling here is gorgeous. You look like fall personified. 🙂

Ugh! I hate when that happens. I admit I’m pretty bad about backing things up, too, but something about being 7 pages into a final paper reminds me to get it done. You definitely aren’t letting tragedy get in the way of your style though, this outfit is perfect! 🙂

Every few months, I put all of my pictures on an external hard drive and it’s great to know my pictures are safe! I also keep the novel I’m working on and current pictures on Dropbox, which I can access on my iPad and iPhone through the app! So handy! You look super duper cute and cozy!

I am the absolute worst for backing up my files! I even almost had my computer crash not too long ago… Didn’t teach me. Perhaps a weekend activity.
Happy Thanksgiving Weekend!
