First Day

The first day at a new job is very reminiscent of the first day of school to me.

Worries about where I'm going to sit, if I will succeed in my new role, and what I should wear always run through my head. A lot of the common "first day" fears are things that are out of your control but luckily what to wear is not.

To calm some of my nerves I've, of course, made an inspiration board of different outfits based on office culture. I'm not too certain about my new place yet but I'm thinking I'm going to follow the "it's better to be over dressed" rule.

Happy Monday frands! Wish me luck!

Despite the fact that the weather seems to be having regular mood swings and I can't figure out if I should be wearing tank tops or sweaters I've been working on my fall wish list.

I keep trying to impose "anti-shopping" periods on my life but let's be real, those never work out as planned. There are just so many sweaters, military jackets, and boots calling my name right now. 

Sooo as a compromise (with myself) I'm trying to be good and solely buy from sales and consignment and use my wish list merely as a guideline. 

We'll see how this goes...in the meantime, enjoy these pretties that have stolen my heart.

Little Things - Fall Edition

Now that the weather is resistant to being anywhere near 80^o  I've accepted my cold weather fate. It appears there's nothing left to do but to start prepping my closet for fall and though I'm sad to push my sundresses to the back, my boots and sweaters are like long lost friends that are fresh and fun again! But what are long lost friends without a couple of new ones to play with too?

Two pairs of boots and a jacket later and I feel like I've just barely cracked the surface. Although, until I win the lottery it looks like I'm gonna have to pace my shopping problem habits. (I smell a nice leather tote I can fit my laptop in in my future friends.)

Here are my current shopping "conquests" and shopping "to dos". What are you closet plans for the cold weather?
