Slow Down, You Move Too Fast



Hello there! So, the interview that I was stressing all week about ended up not happening. I got an email late last night informing me that it had been canceled. I have to say, I was quite bummed out. This interview made me feel like I would finally be headed in the direction of a career. It felt a lot like a first step I was just about to take. I really do want the internship, so I'm working on rescheduling an interview, and I'm really hoping it works out!

So, I was going to do a whole "what I would have worn" post, but I thought that was too self-pitying, and I didn't really want to get dressed up for something that wasn't happening. So, instead, I decided to get prettied up in non businessy clothes. I'm actually wearing a few things that I received for Christmas. The sweater is from my grandma (who also gave me some very cute hairbows!) and the fur collar is from my mom. I also got a super cute ring from Dear Beatrice that I just love! Sometimes putting on a few new things can really lift my mood. I realize that sounds kind of materialistic, but it's true! There's just something about wearing something you've never styled before that's kind of...rejuvenating? Maybe.

Dress/Skirt: Swap with the lovely Amber Rose
Sweater: Gift
Collar: Asos/gift
Tights: Generic
Shoes: Steve Madden
Belt: Delia's
Ring: Dear Beatrice

    I really like what you wore here, sometimes I like to dress up even if I just need to go across the street to the atm or whatever :) And I agree with you! It always a nice feeling to wear something new!
