Day 143: A Lil' Bit of Floral Never Hurt Nobody

There has been one thing that has been lacking in my closet: floral. I feel usually it is much too girly, I am reminded back to my 8 year old self that was given a sweatshirt from my grandma. I'm pretty sure it was "Bonjour" or one of those weird 80's brands, the "bonjour" part was written in girly, girly floral. I was forced to wear it when my Grandma was around. I really disliked it, but I loved my Grams and didn't want to hurt her feelings. This was when I was balls-deep in my super tomboy stage. To illustrate how tomboy I really was I'm going to do this. I'm going to show my one of my grade school pictures to the blogger world. God help me.
Told you it was horrendous. hope you had a good laugh...apparently tie-dyed was ok, floral not ok.
So I am slowly trying to put it back in my wardrobe....slowly.



Shoes: Target $15, Jeans: (MEK) The Buckle (had since college) Floral Shirt: KMart $10, Denim Shirt: Wal Mart (Miley Cyrus) $5, Cardigan: Goody's $15 (gift from mom)



I would also, never, ever, paint my fingernails....ewwwwwwww! I just recently started (I swear the first time I had my fingernails painted was a few months ago) And my sister picked out this lovely color for me. I believe it to be awesome. Thanks sister. Sidenote: never post any pictures of my hand again...especially my creepy finger (I broke it a few years ago playing volleyball). The doc told me it wouldn't grow back straight without surgery, I said, "well Doc I'm no hand model, so that is completely unnecessary!"

Do you have any hideous grade school pictures you wish would just spontaneously com-bust?

Day 137: Hey Fall (and 6am) What's Happening...

I had a phone interview today at 7am....eeeeeek! I had to arise at 6am, (which is never a pretty sight, good thing I didn't have to show my face at this interview) guzzle some strong coffee to ensure my brain, and my phone voice was awake and ready to go. I got a "how'd it go?" text immediately following, and the answer...indifference.
I mean, I did my "homework" researched the company, had notes highlighting all my strengths and qualifications (which for once in my life I met all of them), I just hope I didn't sound too confident, or too relaxed (as this lady was super nice, and peppy) as I sometimes do. I totally bombed the last phone interview I had, but I feel I was more prepared for this one. Well, I should hear back by the end of the week if I have another interview, fingers crossed.
As for my outfit today, its all about the accessories, baby! Little leaf earrings (very fall) a rust colored cardigan(also very fall) and a mix of stripes and floral (always enjoy this combo)

Sidenote: I realize this picture is out of focus..but its one of my favorite poses of the day..must remember this.


Shoes: Target $15, Jeans: (Hurley) Pac Sun $8, Tee: Wal Mart $3, Cardigan: JCrew (Vday gift)

Scarf: Old Navy $12, Earrings: Target $7

These shoes are more like slippers. Comfort is an understatement.

Happy Monday everyone (raise your coffee cups to productivity!) and here's to wishin...and hopin'....and prayin'....and dreamin'....(of a job not a wedding here people!)

Day 33: Don't Step on My Blue-Striped Shoes

Target $15 (last spring)
This is one of those embarrassing moments where I reveal that I found shoes in my closet that I have never worn. I'm not sure why but these cutie patooties never made it out of my closet last spring/summer. Yep. Never wore 'em. Not once. But I wore them last weekend and took a picture. I walked to breakfast with miss Yuki-pants and Miss Hosty.  So excited I live in a place that I can actually do that!

I took a picture (try not to zoom in on my face. I had 5 mins to get ready last Sunday)
shoes: Target ($15), Jeans: thrifted ($5), shirt: Hanes ($8 pack of 3), Jacket: Macy's ($15)
I plan on letting these babies see the light of day way more this Spring and Summer.

Alrighty then! Peace out people have a terrific Tuesday!
