Hello!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Mine consisted of a six-mile hike, and furniture shopping. We found a dining table, and I bought a new lamp for my room. So as you can tell from the title, I wore this super casual outfit on Friday. Robert and I went shopping for interview clothes, so later today I'll be in an outfit that's opposite of this. I walked away with a chiffon, ruffle heart-printed top from Zara that was on sale that I'm considering pairing with a solid skirt and a cardigan for this afternoon. My other option is my chambray button-up and a skirt. I hate shopping for professional/work/interview clothes. I look awful and awkward in it all. In the end I decided to just go with the most-professional--aka least casual/simple--stuff in my closet. I figured it's better to be comfortable and show a bit of my personality in my clothes than not. Hopefully it doesn't bite me in the butt later.

While I was paying for my new top, the cashier commented on my shirt, saying how it was so "scandalous because they're like basically making out." Uh thanks I guess?

In exactly one month and I will be reunited with Jen on the east coast again! Countdown begins now!

Until next post,
Jasmine

  2. Oh, I envy your ability to look so cute and put together in shorts and a graphic tee! Such a fun casual look :)
    Also, good luck on your interview! I agree that it's better to be professional, but also show a bit of your personality when interviewing for jobs. That's what I try to do, anyway!

    PS- I hope you have some time to see me when you're on the east coast, because I would love to see you again! :D

  5. Ah hahaha...What is wrong with that cashier? I guess she was joking with you? Anyways, now that I'm looking at it, it does seem a bit risque;)

    You look good in this outfit! I am sure whatever you wear to your interview will be fine:)

  6. I heard about the interview (from your twitter I think?!) and CONGRATS!! How did you do? I hope you nailed it :) Shopping for professional clothes can be fun! Don't buy too many classic dress shirts. Invest more on feminine blouses (short and long sleeves) that you can wear for work and for play :)

    I think your sweater is super adorable. I hate it when a cashier tries to start a conversation with me and ends up 'mocking' me. If you're not sincere, don't say it! :( Anyway, I think you're as cute as you can be :D
