Addicted


 When applying for the position of Executive Administrative Assistant, listing Arabic Dancing and specifying belly dancing as your hobby on your resume, and including a creepy unprofessional facebook style pic, may not be your best bet. 


Yes, I'm screening resumes, and that happened in real life. 


On another, completely unrelated note,

like many of you, I'm sure, I love new clothes. I love trying new styles and no matter how many outfits I have, I can always think of new things that would be "just perfect." 

Even though wearing great clothes makes me happy, as a student, buying new clothes on the regular isn't really fiscally responsible. 

SO, of my own volition, I have made a pact with myself to not purchase any new clothes until July. 

The reality of the situation is this: I have plenty, even if I'm not always thrilled with my options. 

Maybe I should take this opportunity to sort through what I actually wear vs. what I never wear. If I get my act together and do that, maybe I'll sell some of my old clothes and treat myself to something wonderful in July? Any thoughts or suggestions of how to best go about that?

Until then, it will take every ounce of will power not to purchase the following:

Perhaps paired with this:


I also love this maxi dress. It looks so flowy and comfy.

Do you have a weakness when it comes to shopping? Any tricks for staying strong?

Nautical Dreams

I love pairing bright accessories with a classic navy & white outfit. 

Would you wear this? 

Too much color? Not enough?

Hammocks are the best. If it isn't hanging above water, this would be second best.    




For now, I'll take any real closet over my stand alone wardrobe!

Autumn Arrived - and with it, colored denim?

I thought I was a bit dramatic with all of my end of summer talk, but I woke up this morning and it was chilly and gray out! So, to bring some cheer to the day, I looked for some fun colors. It seems lots of people are wearing colorful straight leg jeans this year. 90s flashback anyone? I think the last time I wore them, they were OshKosh B'Gosh. Does that brand even exist still? 

It looks like there will be plenty of options to choose from:
Current/Elliot's cropped red stretch-denim jeans






BDG Ankle Cigarette Mid-Rise Jean - Green



Diesel Livy Skinny Low-Rise Jean - Purple

I haven't made up my mind about whether I think they are awesome or awful yet. Thoughts?
