.hired.

Woo!!! So guess what!

I got the call informing me that I got that job! I'm officially the Sales Lead at Ann Taylor in Bellevue, WA! I'm really excited! It sounds like the perfect opportunity and exactly what I am looking for in a job! Truly a huge blessing and an answer to prayer! So... you can expect to see Ann Taylor clothes slowly appear in my blog! For now, Maurice's clothes will continue to fill and overfill my closet!

Here is today's outfit! Several of my previous mix it up pieces used together! I found that while tucking in the silk shirt it tended to slip out easily because of the material. My solution? Considering the shirt has a long hem in the back, I used a clear elastic to gather extra fabric in a tail in the back of my shirt. I tucked in the front of the shirt and then the "tail." As a result, my shirt easily stayed tucked in all day! Easy fix.

I absolutely love these antiqued vintage earrings I found! =)

Have a fantastic weekend!

.thrifted lace and pearls.

Today was a wonderful day with my two best friends -- spent at the Columbia River relaxing in the sun, wading in the icy water and catching up! Also working on the tan of course under the sunny blue skies!

I've been dying to wear this skirt that I found at a thrift store but the right occasion hasn't let me where it! Since I didn't work today (didn't have to wear Maurices clothes) and I was going to church, I found it the right time to finally get this skirt in! I love the lace material over the light fabric - making for a very light skirt that can be worn now or this fall and winter. I'm not a huge fan of this shirt with the skirt, but I didn't have a top that better suited the skirt. So here's the completed look!


Today's outfit::

{Swag:: Maurices // Ruffled Tank:: Maurices // Belt:: Maurices // Skirt:: Thrifted // Shoes:: Madden Girl // Pearls:: Thrifted}

thrifting designer labels.

Today I made a spontaneous stop by Value Village to see whether I could find a few bottles for my window sill decor! I'm hoping to have an eclectic collection of cool shaped bottles in different colors! I found two wonderful ones to start off the collection today -- one of which is a antique avon glass pitcher which I bought for $1 and was going for $15 online.

I love them both and think they are fun! I can't find my original inspiration, but I'll be sure to post when my idea is complete!

I also thrifted a Elisabeth Hasselbeck for Dialogue jacket today that I'm absolutely in love with! It will be a great fall piece! I bought it for $12 and found it originally priced at $80 online! Now that's a good deal!

In like new condition! click here to see jacket on site)

So this is the outfit for the day. Since today was a lazy day, it's pretty casual.

Have a blessed night!

.maxi dress.

So I finally went for it and bought the military boots! I'm excited to wear them this fall and I don't regret the purchase!

Summer is a wonderful time for Maxi dresses! I am falling in love with them and finally bold enough to actually wear them! Last summer I bought two Maxi dresses and hardly wore them. In fact I only wore them while I was in Hawaii.So I've broken them out of hiding! This simple maxi is from Forever 21!

This necklace is an antique shop find! Love it!

{Swag:: Maurices // Maxi Dress:: Forever 21 // Sandals:: So // Belt:: American Eagle // Necklace:: Antiqued}
