BLACK TAR

 Let me preface my long, and drawn out blog post by commenting on how I've blogged three days in a row with a 6-month or so hiatus prior, so I'm going to pat myself on the back.  On to the goods:



Yesterday after a job interview (which we will talk about later) I somehow wandered into a Sephora. I've been eyeing OCC's Lip Tar ever since the first time I heard about it...and then I just kept hearing about it.  $18 a pop though?? A GIRL CAN DREAM...and with about a billion colors to choose from online, I kept dreaming-- you don't wanna be stuck w/ a color that looks ungodly.  Thanks to my favorite beauty expert & photographer friend, Bailey Munson, I frantically messaged her to see if she'd tried the product and if so if she had suggestions!  Upon her suggestion, I purchased the color "Queen" and I'm definitely in love!

Oh...speaking of that whole interview business...the look I posted yesterday was what I was wearing.  This outfit I threw on today has been one of my other favorite go-to interview outfits.  Again, black and white have become my favorite colors of choice.  This trumpet/tulip (whatever they're calling it these days) is definitely great because I am totally seeing the look coming into this fall season--funny thing is I bought this very randomly at a Charlotte Russe store in Topeka, KS last winter on a really strange premonition and, hey, I couldn't lose at $2 on the sale rack!

ON THE HUNT

It's cool that unempoyment right out of college gives me some spare time to blog, but in all honestly I have been out there trying and trying over and over again and the real world is seriously... SUCH A BITCH.  I've been on A LOT of interviews these past couple of weeks though, which is promising; some more recently being second interviews and some being very specific to my interests even (cross your fingers on me being gainfully employed in the near future!).  Today I had an interview for a receptionist position at an upscale hair salon--this is what I wore!  

I think it works for this type of position because black is classic and in a trendy cut it's still very relavant.  I've been dragging along my briefcase-esk purse which holds my folder of resumes and references nicely.  I've been wearing my black Zara sandals almost every where as well because they just seem to add a nice little touch of uber-chicness to a look (and they are flats, which is sooo great).  I'll post more of the looks I've worn to interviews because I thought that even though a few of them went less stellar than I'd hoped, I sure looked the part each time.  I've been getting creative because I'm too lazy to figure out the laundry room in my complex still, so I've concocted quite a few new looks I didn't even know I could pull out of my exisitng wardrobe!

XX,
