Hey friends!! So I have a surprise for you!!! A brand new outfit! I’m very proud of it too. I had a pretty rough week last week. I’m not going to go into it but it just wasn’t an amazing week and I’m hoping for some good news this week. 

I hope I get it. 

Sweater: Forever 21 I saw it and immediately fell in love with it because it is sooo STRANGE

Jeans: Banana Republic 

Cardigan: Charlotte Russe via a gift from my mom 

Shoes: Franco Santo 

Tanktop (not shown): Discovery 

Belt: Forever 21? 

Bracelets: Charming Charlie’s 

Earrings (not shown because of my dark hair): Forever 21

Can you believe I wore heels all day in this crazy Chicago winter?

Yea.. That’s because I didn’t. hehehe. I tried them on when I got home and they looked kind of nice so I left them on. I actually wore my cowboy boots shown here during the rest of the day. 

Anyway, I’ve become slightly obsessed with Dexter. You know the show about the serial killer? It’s interesting, and who doesn’t love Julia Stiles? Have any of you started watching a great TV show lately? 

Currently Listening To: Skeptics and True Believers by The Academy Is.. (I used to love this song).

Hey everyone! As you all know I’ve been working two jobs, so I don’t EVER have a day off. Usually if I’m not at either job I’m working from home. Well, I had a little time this week, and I actually went to see Tangled (twice). I went last week and I went again tonight. We were the only people in the theater, which was fabulous and the movie wouldn’t play so I was able to get us free popcorn. When I went to the concession stand, I told them what happened and the young man behind the counter seemed so weirded out by my enthusiasm that when I kept pestering him for free slurpees, he gave them to me! So I was able to get 3 free slurpees (one for each of my friends and me) and free popcorn! 

It was a wonderful outing if I do say so myself.  

Tangled was fabulous and I think everyone should go see it, even if you aren’t into cartoons. Also…yes.. I may actually like him better than Aladdin. 

<3 Happy Monday! 

Hello Readers! I’m falling asleep as I write this but I wanted to get a post out today. How was everyone’s week? I am so tired. I have worked every day for the last 2 and a half weeks. I won’t have a day off for another week as well. It’s really tiring. In addition to my Banana Republic job, I started a job at a search marketing firm last week and while I have great manager, it is intense work. 

I also worked election day last Tuesday and as always: it was a nightmare. 

Here is a random outfit. I wore it last Sunday (sorry for the tardiness). 

White Turtle Neck Tee – Express

Vest – Banana Republic 

Belt – New York and Company 

Jeans – Delia’s 

Flats – RocketDog at Von Maur

Charm Bracelet and Charms – Juicy Couture

Owl Necklace – Charlotte Russe (via gift from my friend).

I wore this to work earlier in the day and just switched the jeans for Khaki Chinos from New York and Company. 

This is what I wore today: 

Really simple for a Friday at the office. 

Black Tank Top (not shown) – Forever 21

Gray Peasant Top – Delia’s 

Purple Duster – Delia’s 

Jeans – Banana Republic

Does anyone have any big weekend plans? What are they? What will you be wearing?

Hey everyone! So I bought these cowboy boots a few weeks ago and wear them a lot. I love them! I purchased them at Old Navy and I just can not say enough good things about them. They were really inexpensive, maybe $30 or $40 and definitely worth every penny. Do you have any great fall boots?

A few months ago was my friend Rosie’s birthday and I bought her Maroon 5 concert tickets. Well here we are!

Below is a pic of the opening act OneRepublic!

Hey everyone. I am on vacation and will not be posting much while I am here. I’m sorry I forgot to tell you, it was a last minute family emergency (so not much of a vacation actually).

I will do my best to post photos when I can.

Miss you all!

Xoxo

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!! 

I am really exhausted but feel like I should update everyone. So here is a list of things going on in my life: 

1) I’ve had a couple job interviews but haven’t heard anything yet. 

2) Today is my friend H’s 21st birthday so yay to her!

3) My best friend Squeaks is home now from her summer job!!! Yay!!

4) I have worn a couple decent outfits I wanted to share with you! 

I went on a job interview last week and this is the outfit I wore. A yellow turtleneck tee from Express, a gray tweed skirt from Forever 21 and my gray Rocketdog flats. I even put on a little makeup. I added my black pearl necklace and bracelet. The outfit was professional and the yellow kept it fun. I really liked it and got a compliment on my necklace. I know they tell you its better to overdress for an interview instead of underdress but I disagree. I think overdressing makes you seem a little desperate and overly willing to please, especially if you haven’t had a job in a few weeks or months. I like to dress the way I would dress everyday if I got the job. I think this outfit exemplifies my professional style. What have you guys been told? Which do you think is better for a job interview, dress as you would on a normal day of work or overdress? 

I had to run errands all day Wednesday but I didn’t want to just throw on a shirt and jeans, so I decided to spice it up a bit. I decided to wear a pink shirt from Express with my gray and pink fleur de lis vest (also from Express). I decided it was to hot for pants so I threw on some capris from Forever 21 and my Sam Edelman shoes from Akira Chicago.

My friend ASK was in town on Thursday so grabbed dinner together at Houlihan’s. As always, the company was great and the food was delicious. I knew how cold it gets in a restaurant so I wore a cardigan from Delia’s over my Mickey Mouse shirt from Disney World. I also wore my new pair of Old Navy jeans and my Sam Edelman shoes! 

You can see my outfit from yesterday in my previous post. It is a top from Arden B I got as a birthday gift and jeans from Express. Of course I wore them with my Sam Edelman shoes. I know I know… Jeez Niv.. stop wearing those shoes.. but I CAN’T. They are too cute!! 

Today we went to TGIFriday’s to celebrate my friend H’s birthday. It was a ton of fun! I decided to try out my new Akira Chicago top and belt and they got a ton of compliments. I decided to wear tan leggings underneath to bring out the tan in the top more. I added a silver bracelet from New York and Company, my nickname necklace from Disney World and fleur de lis earrings I got as a gift from friends for my birthday last year. Of course, I also wore my Sam Edelman shoes! Hahahaha (sorry). 

Once again….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY H!!! I HOPE YOU HAD AN AMAZING DAY!!! 

What type of outfits do you usually wear when going out for a friend’s birthday?
