Pay It Forward
11/14
I was so thrilled when my boyfriend's mom gave me this red shawl... I couldn't understand why would she get rid of it. It's gorgeous.
And, after playing with it for a while...
...I decided it's not as awesome as I thought. It's itchy and always wants to fall off.
It might make a better table cloth or curtain or... cat dress.
Here, kitty kitty!

Dressing like a grown up for work has been a rather fun challenge. I was so pleased when one of the sweetest coworkers in the world comment on the congruity of one of my outfits. Yay!
sweater - Old. Old old.
dress - NY and Co. They were having some kind of sale and I'm a sucker for chartreuse.

Zombie Buffet
11/12
I was a little worried that this dress is too short for the grown-up nature of my job but I love it so much I had to go for it. In other news, Nala's butt is huge!
Someone was not fully awake...

dress - The Gap
necklace - thrift
shoes - Miu Miu from Goodwill

I visited my sister in Kent. Who knew they had a giant brain sculpture?

Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed
Remember the wedding dress I bought for a film my boyfriend was making? It turns out that it/I ended up being in a mead commercial and if you go to any of the screenings during the Columbus International Film Festival this week, you will see the commercial, me, and my dress. I attended a movie just this evening and surreptitiously snapped photos of myself on the big screen.
Shooting the commercial was totally fun. We enjoyed a very lovely afternoon in an orchard. While we were there, the farmer's grandson came out, gave me a funny look, and said, "Grandad said there was a model in the orchard." I laughed and generally felt pretty silly.
In other news, I have a few photos of my new office.
It's not as opulent as my last digs but I really like the vibe... It makes it very easy to stay focused on my tasks.
I really like the plants all around it.

Alright, how about some clothes?

I woke up this smorning with big hair and big attitude.
sweater - The Gap... Outlet!
dress - I'm not sure... I think I got it at TJ Maxx.
necklace - Night Owl Crafts
ring - I got it at the coolest little shop on Magazine Street in NOLA.
shoes - Wanted

Someone bought a new coat!
It's me!
Is my sleepy face as obvious to you as it is to me?
coat - Forever 21

The Blues and the Bluegrass
11/3
My first day as a Interactive Communication Coordinator. Pretty perfect job for an avid blogger, no?
This little sign was given to me by my old coworkers. Adorable.
sweater - I couldn't say.
dress - Simply Vera by Vera Wang
bracelet - thrift/vintage
brooch - 'Twas a gift.
shoes - Hm. I can't remember
11/4
Day Two's outfit garnered a compliment from my new boss. Score!
top - I got it at a clothes swap party. It used to be Theresa's.
belt - Forever 21
pants - Kohl's
shoes - My momma gave em to me.
11/6
I found these pants at what I fondly refer to as God's Favorite TJ Maxx. It's in Upper Arlington here in C-Bus and is the mightiest, most awesome TJ Maxx I've ever encountered.
top - Dana Buchanan at Kohl's
pants - French Connection
shoes - Hm. I got them at Penney's several years ago...
11/7
There is no picture here because I had had a little freakout Saturday night due to the stress of my new employment. I wasn't unhappy nor did I feel any regret about the change and must say that frankly, everyone at the new job has been incredibly awesome. But for whatever reason, the radical lifestyle renewal made me feel like curling up in bed and crying like a little kid. So I did. And when I woke up Sunday, I felt wonderful.
11/8
Grego and I were invited to partake of a bluegrass performance at Espresso Yourself Cafe in Powell. A new coworker and his lady friend met us there and it was absolutely blissful.
The weather, the music, the company... Everything about Sunday made me happy. Greg and I chased each other around Powell like little kids.

Old Haunts and Haughty Homes
I promise I am not a bad person. I'm just a slightly overwhelmed person. I truly regret any discomfort on your part due to blogging-related neglect.
10/30
On Friday, many awesome people accompanied me to Bobby Mackey's which is just outside of Covington, KY. It is apparently haunted and for $5, the proprietors will give you a little tour of the basement. They tell me a gentleman who makes appearances on a ghost hunting TV program was accosted by spirits on camera down there but the most frightening moment for me involved dumb redneck boys.
I was Twiggy. Many many thanks to my Momma who plied my makeup.
10/31
How to dress for comfort: Step 1, procure an awesome soft slip from an amazing friend. Step 2, wear a fuzzy sweater over it. Step 3, don't bother putting on pants.
sweater - Free People
slip - a gift from Lisa... She rules!
leggings - La Mixx
boots - thrift
I finally found a use for my union suit! It's the world's most comfortable Halloween costume! I am a raging hillbilly (quite a stretch... har) and Greg was an Ambien zombie.
I was in Columbus for the holiday so my Grego and I went to the Short North area for the last few minutes of the High Ball. The show had descended into chaos by the time we got there but that was fine by me. I saw too many brilliant costumes to list. I saw a dog dressed as a chicken. Genius.
That is a bona-fide Rabbit Hash brand corn cob pipe. Monica, a dear friend who I met through my old job, bought it for me.
11/1
Sunday, we had a few neighbors and loved ones over to celebrate my new job. This was my shopping ensemble...
sweater - thrift
top - Free People
jeans - 7 For All Mankind
shoes - Old Navy
... And this was my party look.
It was truly lovely to be surrounded by supportive Columbusians.
sweater - Old Navy
kercheif - thrift
top - TJ Maxx
skirt - the Carroll County Flea Market

Loaf of Bed
10/24
I celebrated my new job all weekend long. Saturday I slept in and loafed around in bed. Ahhh...
sweater - Free People
black top - Express
jeans - Old Navy
socks - thrift
boots - thrift

I promised myself that the last week of work at my old job would be spent entirely in clothes that are inappropriate for my new gig, i.e. jeans, cowboy boots, comfy socks... and apparently, dirty laundry.
earrings - Forever 21
sweater - Free People
top - Express
skirt - Levi's
socks - TJ Maxx
boots - thrift
Today, I said goodbye to my office before I begin disassembling it...
So sad but so exhilerating!
