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. The Breakdown:
Blue shirt: Kohls $12.99- depreciation = practically nothing.
Black stretchy pants and quite possibly the most comfortable pants EVER: Kohls $17.xx ( I had 20% off and $10 Kohls cash)
Black cardi: Target $19.99
Black boots: $34.99
Scarf: $? From an airport gift shop in Denver- it was a gift :)
Grey undershirt: Forever 21 $6.99-depreciation= nothingBlack Blazer: Charlotte Russe $29.99
Green Scarf: Kohls $18.00 (this was a splurge)
Jeans: American Eagle $34.00-depreciation= nothing (I have had them forever!)
Boots: Steve Madden $136. (Originally $169 but I had 20% off)
Birthday dinner outfit!Lace Dress: Forever 21 $24.99
Black Blazer: Charlotte Russe $29.99
Shoes: JCPenny $48.99
Striped Shirt: Forever 21 $6.99
Red Jacket: Old Navy $Can't remember$
Black stretchy pants: Kohls $17.xx (with coupons)
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!
Oh holy abandoned blog. I have so many things to say, I must list them:
ReplyDelete1. I am now the official fourth follower...congrats on four followers. Today is a big day.
2. Cute outfits! I hardly recognize you without the MLT standard jeans and Sierra Nevada sweatshirt. Good shopping skills!
3. Good luck with the job interview. I'm afraid I would probably spend my entire salary working at Nordstoms. Beware the shoes, they have the best shoes anywhere, and most for a pretty penny. Although, now you live near DSW and really, I don't think it gets any better than that.
4. The mother in me is making me say this: make the bed ;). Yes, pulling up the comforter counts as making the bed.
5. I like your new title.
6. I don't have much help to provide in the format department, but use the new blogger editor if you aren't already because it is easier to work with than the old one.
7. Glad to see you back!
Hugs, Tonya
Tonya, you're the best :)... I'll be sure to make my bed and tidy up my room for future pics!
