Happy Birthday To Me!!!

I had a great time with my husband today, we ate at The Smith and picked up some doughnuts at the Doughnut Plant. I can't tell you how much reflection I've done today, and how blessed I realized I truly am. I made it through another year and that's gotta count for something! 

For my outfit I kept it quiet simple, I donned an all black ensemble, with a minimal amount of jewelry and the most radiant trench  of my life.

1. A black, long sleeve, shirt from Target. $8
2. A black skirt from Forever21. $10.80
3. A black pair of tights from Onestopplus.com. $12
4. A tall black pair of boots from Forever21. $26
5. Necklace from the wholesale district. $3

Work Ready: The Interview

The first image is an outfit I put together for my ideal interview in a creative position. This to me is a balance between I'm a little bit fierce, but I have respect for your establishment, so I didn't turn it up too high on you. The second look is the outfit I wore on my job interview for, needless to say, a less creative position. It is quite conservative, neat, and clean, with a minimal amount of punch... if any. I'd much prefer going on an interview where my personality gets a chance to shine a bit, but these days you do what you must to "get er done".
