In The Fashionista's Closet: Graphic Artist

I decided to wear jeans today. Too bad it was a million degrees out, you may be able to see the beads of sweat on my brow in some of the pictures.

I had a teaching job interview yesterday (I KNOW, I just started looking!) and color me excited for even being called in.

I had no time to take pics but I like to be relatively conservative for interviews so I wore black wide leg pants, black pumps, a white button down shirt, of course a bold necklace and carried a green handbag.

But apparently I was the only one who decided to be conservative because of the other two women there for interviews, one had on a low cut, short, sleeveless dress with flat sandals and the other had a light brown and black striped hair weave that resembled a skunk.

I'm all for personal expression but sometimes you just can't show all of your hand at once. You need to ease into some things. It was literally STRIPED! For a job interview? I couldn't begin to tell you what she had on because I was so outdone by the hair.

I really wish someone would bear witness to all of the tomfoolery I encounter because the stories are so outlandish. I used to work at a truancy court and a parent came to court with coins glued onto her hair. Currency, people. A nickel, a dime, some pennies all glued onto her updo hairstyle. I guess she needed a change! Get it? A change? Because she had the....oh, never mind!

 Hopefully I will find out about the teaching position soon.....

Have a fabulous weekend!

About the 'fit:

Not sure if you can see but this jacket has small yellow dots on it. And the shirt underneath has a sash that ties around the waist. (Seen here.)

*Sigh* Can we talk about how much I ADORE these shoes??? I went to DSW last year looking for some black sandals and when I saw these, all thoughts of black sandals went out the window. I.had.to.have.them.

Yellow dot jacket - Talbot's
White shirt with sash belt - Zara
Men's Mossimo jeans - Target *I had a clothes swap a couple of years ago and someone brought their husband's things and I snatched these up. They are also plenty long which I like but I normally wear them rolled up*
Steve Madden Luxe platform sandal - DSW

It's here, It's here!

No longer content to have folks visit their stores, DSW is bringing one of my favorite pastimes, shoe shopping, to the world wide web. Browsing the site, the brands and prices seem comparable to what is in the stores and they called me to let me know that the site was up and running. Launched last week, the pickings appear to be slim for fun fashionable heels but I am hoping that as time progresses that the selection gets better. Check out what they have here.
