I am a real woman with curves. I am not a size 2. I have hips and a butt (that I have grown to love, this wasn't always so.) I used to get embarassed if someone mentioned my "big ole butt."
But now I love my booty. I check it out in the mirror all the time. Especially at the gym....
I went to workout yesterday morning and there was a (kinda) cute guy in there so I had to get all Jillian Michaels with my workout and act as though I wasn't about to pass out and worked out longer than usual. He was grunting and panting so hard I thought it would be bad manners not to stay.
I began orientation at my second job, I'll be working in the men's department. I knew right away what my mom's response would be once she heard that I would be working in that department. "Ooooooohhh, that's good. Maybe you'll find a husband there." Who even knew that they sold husbands in the men's department? And all this time I've been looking elsewhere for husbands. So easy!
I am loving LOVING fall, I was so over my summer wardrobe. I am glad that I'm able to pull out some different things now.
Ruffled trench: Marshalls
Skirt: Banana Republic
Tights: Walmart
Boots: Clothes Swap
I pray pray PRAY that I will have exciting news to share this week! I'm off to take pics of some thrift finds to share with you....
Today has to be one of the most wonderful days that I've had in a long LONG time. I won't say too much yet but I am so grateful for all the things that are happening in my favor. I had an impromptu interview today and I KNOW that it was because of THIS outfit:
(I'd like to imagine) that the principal took one look at me and thought, "This is a woman who works well with kids."
(I realized after taking the pics that I had my jacket buttoned up wrong.......) No do-over!
Or maybe she thought, "Well at least the kids can learn their colors while she's around."
I am definitely a color person, I love bright colors all year round. I like to mix at least two contrasting colors with each outfit and keep everything else neutral.
Now if I can get this pattern mixing thing together....
Dress: Thrifted
I got this dress in the heat of summer, I look for things of all seasons when I thrift, most people only focus on the season at hand. I could not figure out if it should be zipped in the front or the back. There is no tag, I believe it's handmade. I finally zipped it up the front since it has darts there also.
Tights: Walmart; Shoes: Nine West
Thanks to all of the visitors and commenters on my blog, stay tuned for a giveaway to celebrate my having 100+ followers!
