good morning tea.

Friday, November 27th, 2009

my new job has almost taken over my life but i’m having a lot of fun. one thing i learned at orientation was that with the outfits we wear to work, we MUST accessorize. the minimum is three accesories (i.e. a necklace, bracelet, and ring) if we wear any less, they’ll send us home or make us buy something at the store. so upon first hearing this, i sort of panicked because i hardly wear accesories. i have quite a few beanies (which counts as one, so thats good!) but besides those and my wedding ring, that was it. so before i started, i had to go in and buy some. i never really was a fan of wearing too many but now that i have some, i’m addicted! i now have a small collection of necklaces, rings, and bangles and sometimes i’ll see something in my store that i want to get! i’m trying to be careful though because as cheap as they can be, it all adds up. but for now i’m good. so this is me before work with my morning tea. i’m thankful that there is always tea in the house because it’s what i crave the most, especially in the morning and before i go to bed.

one thing i learned about accessories is that you can easily overdo it, so if i’m wearing something that makes a statement and stands out (a beanie) then i’ll keep it subtle and wear a simple necklace and maybe one ring. since i had a small flower in my hair in these, i wanted to wear my flower rings to match and add some bangles and wear my hi-top chucks to toughen up the outfit :)

details:
cardigan: thrifted
tunic: forever 21, a few years ago
and i’m sure you can guess where the accesories are from!

busy bee, buzzing about

so since i’ve started my new job about two and a half weeks ago, i’ve had a total of two days off. it’s pretty tiring at times, but totally worth it. we get to spoil our family with christmas gifts this year! i’ve been eyeballing all the clothes i’m around daily but i’m quite proud to say that i’ve been good and kept my wallet at bay. here is what i wore to work some few days ago.

i can’t tell you how much i love wearing socks with flats. it’s usually a hit or miss for people, but it’s definitely a hit for me and i’ve been welcoming it into my wardrobe lately.

outfit:
shirt= target
skirt= forever21
socks= target
brogues= thrifted

fall.

things have been pretty good lately. i got a seasonal job at forever 21! it hasn’t opened yet and it’s a huge two-story department store. the grand opening is this weekend so all this week i, along with over 160 other employees have been unloading heavy boxes from the trucks into the new store. i love it so far, i’ve already made a few friends and tomorrow is a work party/meeting and i get to dress up! can’t say no to that. anyway, here are some outfits.

jacket: h&m
cardigan and dress: forever 21
heels: payless
clutch: thrifted

beanie: urban
shirt: target
shorts: i forgot!
booties: thrifted

feelin’ stripey

i have a couple outfits to post, but i’ll start with just one and post more later. i wore this to catch up with my lovely sister-in-law jacky and her boyfriend BJ, they had a layover at the LAX airport and we all picked them up and got to spend time with them for a few hours.


the shirt and shorts are both thrifted, and the flats are from forever 21, purchased about two years ago. i’m surprised they’re not falling apart!
