Ann Taylor Loft!

Hello, hello! I hope everything is going swimmingly in your neck of the woods. Things here are improving daily, I am glad to say.

Monday evening I found out I was hired at Ann Taylor Loft! So exciting! Yesterday, I went in to fill out paperwork and do some initial training. Part of that was to try on clothing to see the various fits on the pants. Part of my job is to try on cute clothes and make outfits. HOW is this work? Soooooo today I went shopping! (I know). We are having a store meeting on Sunday and I'm told pictures will be taken so I wanted to make sure I had a great outfit (and backup) planned.

Plus, while a lot of my clothing IS from Ann Taylor/Loft, most if it isn't current and (yadda yadda) because (excuse to buy new clothes) also (super cute things in the store). Wouldn't you agree? So first, the dress I had to have: Ruched-Bodice-Maxi-Dress  The picture does NOT do it justice. I'll make up an outfit this weekend with it and post it when I can. It's very Grecian and ridiculously comfortable. It's also expensive for a jersey knit dress. It's $89.50 and while I love it to pieces, it's something I would have passed over because of the price. However, it *really* makes your body look great.

Up next is the Split Neck Henley Blouse. Which is all kinds of fabulous! Also, VERY sheer. It's 100% Polyester and is actually breathable. Surprise Surprise. It looks great pared with Capri's (which I bought), a knee length skirt (which I own), the Pin Tucked Maxi Skirt (with a belt for waist definition-I almost bought it but refrained because I was trying to be good), tucked into slacks for work wear, and jeans. For serious, that's a lot of outfits.


I also picked up a few camis, a scarf, pale pink jeans, a ring (to be featured on Friday!) and these earrings. Now, I adore these earrings but by George, they are seriously heavy. I'm not too big on wearing heavy earrings because I don't like the pull on my ears, so unfortunately, they will go back.

There were a ton of other cute things I passed by (the dresses) but, I did keep reminding myself that it's not like I won't be back soon! I'm still on the job hunt for a "day job" and I really applied at Loft mostly to have fun, and work with people my own age.

I'm looking forward to Friday! Not only will my first Fashion Friday Challenge go up, but I am also meeting up with my book-club before one of our members moves to another state. Friends, fashion, books and since it'll be at our local coffie house- Coffee! How could one NOT enjoy that?

Have a great day!
