Yet another interview. Fml.

I feel like Nordstrom's is just fucking with me now. I applied originally to a sales position in the women's active department. When I arrived for my first interview they informed me the position had been filled but there was an opening in women's dresses. I interviews for that on Monday. Yesterday, Michelle from dresses called and said the position had been filled but would like to refer me to Lindsay in Men's Active. Wtf is wrong? Is it me? Why can't I get a job? I'm beginning to lose hope and it's only fucking Nordstrom's! I will be in a big hurry later today so I'm posting the pic that I took lat night; that's why I have no head- it was bedtime face with no makeup and ooogly hair. Enjoy! And stop wishing me luck I think its having adverse effects on my chances for employment :)

Vacationing in... Fernely Nevada.

Wow, a super exciting place to be!... NOT! But my mom does live here and that exciting enough for me. I retreated to the silver state to prepare for my final exams. I went christmas shopping yesterday with the madre and today I've been reading about South East Asia and also about aggregate supply and demand and the affects on the long and short run economy. Oohhh aren't you just so interested in my life! Be jelly, you know you are. I hope the study sessions will pay off come Tuesday and Friday!
Anymoo, the interview went just okay on Friday. I had to improvise a sale with the manager which was nothing but nerve racking and I slurred my words and didn't form compete sentences out of shear panic, but hopefully made enough of an impression to get a call back. I'm not getting my hopes up though. Here's what I wore:

The second outfit is what I wore to the first interview. Dress from Nordstroms Rack. This outfit is super comfy and I didn't feel out of my element.

HOLY abandoned blog!

5 months in the pit of writers black and Ive come back to life with thoughts worth writing down. I have not worked since August 17th and although the idea sounded fabulous at first, after having lived through 113 days with no job, the idea of working sounds more fabulous than ever. I have an interview on Friday (tomorrow) for Nordstroms... Wish me luck!

Moving on to the topic of shopping: I am an addict. I'm not sure if it is the spare time that I now have or all of the cute outfits I see on campus or my new love affair with @Pinterst, but I always want to buy clothes! Although I still feel that my money could be better spent, I also feel that if I'm doing something I like it shouldn't matter what it is?- Well unless of course its something totally grotesque, disturbing or illegal.... Anymoo, throughout my professional college career I have learned that by finding something you love to do will make it so that you are never truly working, instead you will be doing what you want and ultimately love. So at this point in my self-discovery I have accepted and am looking forward to a job in retail. I don't see it as stuck in a sales position either. I see it more as an opportunity to grow into a professional career that I not only love but also make money doing.

The following pictures are bad! I take them with my phone with horrible lighting and a foggy mirror but the point is to showcase the outfits Ive been experimenting with. Hopefully somebody (of my whopping 3 followers) with gain inspiration and be delighted to know the price and the convenience of where to get the pieces! And I DO NOT shop at JCrew or BeBe or any other ridiculously expensive stores either! This is the real deal for real people that do real things and therefore need real clothes for real prices! SO LADIES, put away your hooded sweatshirts and jeans and put some personality in your wardrobe!

Oh boy, this is a bad one! I took this at the end of a long day! And p.s. I love black.

Shoes: JCPenny $48.99

Striped Shirt: Forever 21 $6.99

Red Jacket: Old Navy $Can't remember$

Boots: DSW *** These boots deserve special attention because I got them for $45 and they were originally $100! First they were on sale 30% off, then I noticed the glue was coming off the tongue- so I asked the manager what they could do. It was my lucky day because he knocked an additional 30% off! AND I got $5 off for my birthday. Cha-ching!

And if anyone can offer some advice on how to format this blog so it looks nice and its not all spaced out and crazy I would appreciate it!
