Justice!

I had jury duty this week, and felt like a real, proper grown-up. I went in yesterday and found out that one of my friends was serving the same day. So we sat around, being bored together and eating veggie burgers and teriyaki bowls, waiting, sitting in disappointing courtrooms, being sent home early, and all that jazz. Two days of basically nothing. But, it's all good.

I did get a mall trip and haircut out of it, plus I got to spend time with one of my friends. That's a good couple of days altogether, man.

Yesterday's outfit wasn't really anything special, but today, I felt like a lawyer.

Worth it.

A real, proper grown-up with a messy room. Yep.

I walked into the beauty school and forgot I was growing out
my hair.

I say this often, and I'm about to say it again: I need a job. I'm taking all online classes this semester, which means that I need a job to kill time. In addition to a job's money-making capabilities, of course.

Anyway, I've been working on a resume, ensuring that my closet is at least vaguely job-appropriate, asking if people are hiring, and (of course) looking online for grown-up clothes.

I can't help thinking that calling professional attire grown-up clothes defines my whole life.

Anyway, I compiled a bunch of clothes that I think (hope) would be acceptable in the grown-up world of making money. I also threw in some cool jewelry because, well, what's life without whimsy? Or that amazing collar necklace thing?

You'd hire me, right?

Flat Out Run

Let me tell you, today's outfit was not made for running. Skirts just laugh at you while you pound pavement, and you know that they are intentionally making you life suck.

Luckily, some lovely strangers held the bus for me.

Anyway, I just thought I should share my outfit today, which was weirdly...professional? I don't know, I wore a blazer.

Blouse: thrifted | Skirt: Fashion Bug | Blazer: Forever 21 | Necklace: Fashion Bug | Bangles: Forever 21 | Orange bracelet: Casey | Ring: vintage or something | Shoes: vintage, and six bucks, and obnoxiously comfortable | Sunglasses: Tilly's

I am disappointed in myself for not getting a better shot of these sunglasses, but rest assured, they are wonderful. Cat-eyes with a little rhinestone bow on one corner. I really ought to take a picture of my sunglasses collection one of these days, even though it's still pretty small. Whatever, I still love them.
