Happy Friday!

Dress by Madewell, coloured leather flats by J.Crew

I'm sure you've already seen this but there's a 2nd Marcel the Shell short that I didn't know about until this week.  I think I like this one even better than the first!

My real life AND blogger pal, Erin of Bows and Sparrows, has been doing a Then and Now feature on her Closet Case ladies.  Mine was part of today's feature.  

Bows and Sparrows

In the "then" photo I'm getting ready to walk the runway for our high school fashion show.  My fashion show date and I both wore sunglasses to look cool which, as you can tell by this photo, was totally effective.  I decided to buy the dress (99$ on sale!) to wear for grad a few months later.

Job hunting

There isn't anything much worse than job hunting and tailoring several cover letters to the job I'm applying for which basically say, "PLEASE CALL ME I'M THE BEST".

I applied for 5 jobs yesterday and am still waiting to (possibly, hopefully) hear something back from my old job, which was actually a really great place to work.  I had my own office with a door, a window, had speakers so I could listen to my own music and almost had art of my own choosing up on the wall (I had to leave because of my expired work permit right after they ordered my art prints) and my boss and supervisor were really great.

I hope I get some calls for interviews.  I like to get something new for my interview outfit whenever I'm on the prowl for a paycheque.  It makes me feel a little more confident when I'm wearing something brand new.  I think a bright silk blouse might be nice with a tweed skirt and heels.

I am really into blouses right now.  I'm an old marm.
