c/o 2010

Cream blazer:borrowed; blouse&polka dotted skirt: Anthropologie

While writing this post I realized I never posted pictures from my own graduation! My brother graduated from high school yesterday and will be attending UMD in the fall. As if graduating from college didn't make me feel old enough, attending my brothers made it that much more real. Congratulations Class of 2010!

Since a lot of my time is spent job hunting, and soon enough will be spent working (hopefully), I will be posting some professional looks more often. I wore this to my second interview with a company yesterday. Not very traditional, but I was told to dress more casual, and this was my version.

Sweet Success

High waisted denim shorts:UO

Ahhh sweet, sweet success. Don't you love the feeling of finding the perfect something you've been envisioning in your head for months and months, just stumble upon it so unexpectedly that you gasp and run to it as if your life depends on it? Yes, that was my experience in UO today. I had been yearning for some high waisted denim Levi's for who knows how long, and there they were, just my luck :-).

A Day in the Life

LBD:F21; Ruffled tunic:Anthropologie

I feel like I'm back at school. . . Instead classes, my days consist of driving to one side of the world and back again giving interviews, and no schoolwork or studying, but evenings devoted to application upon application for various jobs. Woe is me, the life of a twenty something month old grad searching for a job to use her skills and knowledge learned from the thousands of dollars spent on higher education in this economy-what mouth full (or is it an ear full if you're reading?). Anyway, I find that shopping eases the stress. I had a few hours between interviews and stopped for a quick shopping trip. I know...why am I spending money with no job...It's a problem and I'm working on it, o'kay?

Out of Time

I meant to put this post up last night but I was meeting some friends downtown and was running late, and blah blah blah, you know the drill. I had every intention of strictly window shopping before seeing SATC 2 on Saturday, but that obviously didn't go as well as planned. UO was having a sale and I just couldn't resist. This jacket was on sale from $60 down to $20!! Good buy right? I thought so too :-). I probably won't be able to wear it as much as I'd like to until the fall but I figured if it was cool enough on a chilly summer night I'd break it out (yes this was how I talked myself into spending even more money on my wardrobe).

From a clothing standpoint, I thought SATC 2 held up to it's grand reputation of jaw dropping fashion. I enjoyed the first one a tad bit more, but there's not much bad I can say, I'm a fan!

B&W

Cropped top:2b Bebe; bandeau(not seen), clutch, shoes, black double wrap watch:F21; white skinnies: H&M; necklace:DIY; studded grey wrap bracelet: UO

I'm not a big fan of mirror pics but I was in a bit of a rush seeing as my bff got off work half an hour early. Our good friend works at a lounge in Georgetown that's fairly slow on Thursdays-good for chit chat and great drinks. I'm FINALLY seeing SATC 2 this weekend, I hear it's amazing, can't wait!

Shop 'til You Drop

I almost forgot to post the pics of my most recent shopping excursion in New York. Many of the items are from Anthropologie, but I included some pieces I got on a shopping trip I took to a local mall after I got home. Don't you just love shopping?
