The Ballad of the Blonde

Dear Readers, Hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas, New Years, Festivus, whatever you celebrate...here's my Christmas festivities outfit. You will have to excuse the washed out skin, the bags under my eyes, and the dazed-ness in my photos - I had just survived finals with a semester of difficult classes. Deal hunter, brace yourself for this one: Blouse, Anthropologie, $15 Sweater, Anthropologie, $20 Pencil Skirt, Banana Republic, $12 Heels, Last Chance $15 Belt, Goodwill $2 Under $75, baby.

It's a good thing I got this job because I was out of ideas of what to wear to an interview after this one.

I had another interview, this one was in the business school so I felt it called for a little more dressed up dresscode: business formal. Always a interviewee, never a employee.

Anthropologie, $15 (50% off sale items Black Friday!!!) Skirt, $1-2 Goodwill Earrings, $2  Icing Heels, $30 Last Chance Coat, $30  Burlington Coat Factory

Thanksgiving shopping, haircut, all just what I needed. Here comes the winter outfits! Sweater, gifted. Skirt, Anthropologie Tights, I don't know Shoes, Last Chance Necklace, Buffalo Exchange

  This picture here made me aware of how short I really am: Tee, Buffalo Exchange Coat, Burlington Coat Factory Flats, Last Chance Jeans, American Rag Necklace, Icing Camisole, I don't remember

And then a funny thought occurred to me one morning...   you don't have to wear just button-ups, or belted tops, or conservative business stuff with pencil skirts!!! I honestly don't know why I didn't make this discovery sooner. It's rather silly.  This outfit is one of my favorites for the year. Sweater, gift. Pencil Skirt, Banana Republic Earrings, Icing Coat, Burlington Coat Factory Wingtips, Vans
