Dynamic Duo as Sailors (Again!)

Hello!
Jen had the brilliant idea to do another Dynamic Duo post with this sailor top during our X for X challenges. I didn't mind because we both adore this top and was going to wear it again anyway. I think we did a better job with it the second time around. I love how we re-demonstrated why we're long lost sisters by pairing with dark skirts.

I began the remodeling process of my room today. I'm so exhausted, but I'm quite happy with the results so far. I purged my closet too, and it feels so good and liberating! I ended up donating half of all my clothes. I can't believe the amount of junk I've accumulated over the years. I have vowed that I won't fill my closet back with the same useless junk! I really am left with just some basics, my beloved stripes, dresses, and skirts. I'll take pictures of the final product once I'm finished. My dad and I are going to remodel the whole house together actually, but I'm doing a trial run on my own room first.

I love how Jen added the suspenders to the look. Whenever she wears them, I get the need to buy myself a pair or hope that my brother gets one so I can steal them too. I've already stolen his bow tie. It was just laying in the hallway for weeks so I thought I would rescue it. I haven't figured out how to wear it yet though. I need to find the perfect button-up blouse first.

Funny story behind these photos: In some of them, the fourth button is unbuttoned. I actually didn't realize this until I was checking through the photos after Robert had taken them to make sure the lighting was decent. I think it would've gone unnoticed until much later if he hadn't taken a close-up photo of my skirt. So naturally I buttoned up that fourth button and made him take a few more photos. I also really hate how the tag of my belt is sticking out. I need to cut that asap!

If you guys remember, about a month ago, there were some investigations and interrogations going on at work. Well last night, my Facebook was in a frenzy with statuses and chats about the new take-over. Apparently, last night, most of my managers, including the general manager, were fired and the keys and locks were changed. I'm so anxious and nervous to go to work this weekend. While I am glad that our general manager is gone because he was a horrible boss, I can't help but feel responsible about the fate of the other managers--one of whom is eight-months pregnant and all of whom I've become so close to. Before I gave out names, I asked the district manager if anyone would lose their job--and he reassured me that they wouldn't. What a freaking liar. Sorry to end one of my favorite posts with that...I'm just so sad and angry.

I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far!

Until next post,
