So guess what happened today. I got that job that I didn't get last week! I guess the other person they hired didn't work out! I go in tomorrow at 8 am for my first day. Gone are my lazy days of staying up till 2:30 and getting up at 11. Well, I don't know if staying up till 2:30 will go away, I'll just get less sleep. So here goes! It'll be a lot of learning the ropes, but hopefully I can make it work (as Tim Gunn would say). I feel like all of a sudden my life is crazy busy! Full time classes, full time work, going to NYFW, everything is happening all at once! I'm not complaining though, I'm so glad to finally have my life coming together.

I went to Forever 21 tonight to get some new clothes for my new job and possibly NYC and I ended up getting some really cute dresses! Hopefully you will see them soon. They're all very Betty Draper. Love it! Thank goodness for Christmas gift cards.
I have to pick an outfit for my first day at work! Everyone seems to wear just t-shirts and jeans, so I think I'll be an odd duck with my crazy style every day. They'll probably be like, "You know, you don't have to dress up," and I'll say, "But this is how I dress normally..." Haha! I'm brimming with excitement and anxiety about my new job. I hope I do well. I need to brush up on my Illustrator skills! I'm pretty fluent in Photoshop, but Illustrator is a little foreign to me. I'll be designing for screenprinting and embroidering on t-shirts and jackets and stuff, which is a little different than just designing logos and print media.
I should be in bed, but alas! I woke up at 11 so I'll be awake much too late to get a full night's sleep!
Don't forget to scroll down and enter the Kitten Paws Giveaway! More vintage goodies up for grabs!

Thats great news chick congrats!! Im glad everything is falling into place for you :) Im waiting for that to happen to me lol. Cuuuuute skirt by the way!
I love how you tucked in your vintage shirt like a fancy blouse! Good luck on your job. That's exciting. I haven't tried Illustrator, and my danged free trial has expired since I got my new laptop. Have fun!
Hooray! Congratulations! Can't wait to hear what they do say about your gorgeous fashionable outfits!
Congratulations! It's so awesome when things all fall into place at once. Get 'em girl!
Yay, good for you!Congrats sweetie!xxx
I absolutely adore your skirt! I fear I want to get myself one as well, but where do I find a skirt with such a print?!
Wow congratulations!! That's so awesome to find a job from your own field :)
Oh and that coat is RAD! love it :)
Congratulations on the new job. I love how you paired the sporty/casual tee with the patterned skirt and fishnets. Your style is so brave. I wish I could rock such bold outfits.
Well Yay! Congrats on the new job then! It's so much fun buying new stuff for a new job.
Congrats on the new job! Good luck - but you won't need it!
congrats thats great news and sounds like a pretty cool job! I love being the odd duck at work I work in a coporate office with people that are twice my age, I'm a little out of the norm for them.
Congrats again thats great!
Congrats of the job! You'll do amazing (:
gongratulations on the job, by the way
modest mouse in your post title ?

Congratulations! I told you I had a good feeling about that job. Glad to know I wasn't wrong!
Congratulations, I think you'll make Tim Gunn proud and make it work. :D
And designing for apparel sounds pretty interesting; I had to design a t-shirt for a class several semesters ago, and then I was so new at Illustrator. Hopefully you'll share some design ideas with us!

Congrats -- don't you just love how things work out sometimes? Such wonderful news.
Love the print of your skirt!

congrats! sounds like an awesome job!
Congrats on getting the job. I hope it works out well. That skirt is great! I love the pattern.
Oh, that just happened to me recently. I was so distraught about not hearing back about a job interview that I convinced myself I didn't get it. That very hour I had a surreal little e-mail informing me otherwise. They get you down then bring you up...I hope your happiness continues!
On a different note:
At a previous job, I had people telling me: "You don't have to listen to the oldies station."
To which I would have to explain: No, you don't understand, I CHOSE this station, it's what I WANT to listen to.
Congrats!! :)
I know the feeling of dressing up for work, everyone here wears a uniform of a polo shirt and pants. And they are all guys around my dad's age. The only other female wears tshirts everyday. So I am the odd duck. :)
That's awesome! I swear all the good things come on all at once. I quit my awful job of 6 1/2 years last summer and was really worried about how I was going to replace the income. I pretty much only had 1-2 weeks of down time and then got so much work I barely had enough time to do it. 'Tis life ... but it's great!
That skirt is so cool and I LOVE how you paired it with the jersey. Have fun tomorrow!
Congratulations on the new job!!!
I love the print of the skirt and the cut of it. It colors just bring out the white snow in the background.
Ah, that's brilliant, congrats!!!
gorgeous pics, great outfit!

love the colors, great photos!

Congrats on the job! Crazy how it always seemes to happen like that, everything going well at the same time...
Mazel tov on your new job sweetie! Will you perhaps be giving away some of your t-shirt creations? :)
That is so amazing about that job!! It's like your one bummer day turned around because now you have that job and you're going to NYFW! Amazing! I'm so jealous of your job too. I can't wait to get a job that pertains to my degree. Love your outfit of course. Can't believe I see you in 4 days!
I have always hated when people say "Oh, why are you so dressed up?" That is how I always dress! I especially don't like it when I think I am wearing the simplest thing. It can get quite annoying.
Love all the colors on your outfit though!

Love this outfit! Congrats on the new job!

Congrats on the job!! I love that skirt, and it's perfect paired with that shirt!
i hate that dreaded "umm you're soo dressed up" comment that inevitably comes from a coworker! hopefully they will all LOVE your style!
I know EXACTLY what you mean. Everyone at my office dresses casually too... and they're mostly boys to top it off. These days, they come around to see what I'm wearing. It's fun.
Congrats on the job!! And enjoyyyy NYFW!
Congratulations! I think I know how to style a skirt I have been clueless about because of this outfit. Thank you. :]
Congratulations on getting the job. I have often gotten the "you know you don't have to dress up" response at work in the past. I just ignore it. I find that I have more confidence if I feel pretty.
Love this outfit. Good luck with your new job! So cool that you got it.
I LOVE the originality and quirkiness of your style....it's really cute :)
Good for you! Congratulations! This should boost your Winnebago fund pretty good, right?
Good luck on your first day! I love it that you are going to work at a casual place and can wear pretty much whatever you want. Businessy clothes can be a little challenging to make cute all the time.
Congrats! That's so great!! :)
Yay! Congrats kitten.
congrats - you deserve it! i can tell you put your all into everything you do <3
Congratualtions

congrats on the new job! designing on clothing sounds like another step closer to what you love doing. best of luck! you won't just "make it work", you'll be a winner of this challenge! :)
Congrats on your new job! Fingers crossed your employers will have some of their own fancy shortcuts built in to illustrator to cut down on the learning curve (this is what my old employer did). and don't worry about being more dressed up - it's fun to be the dressy gal. (I get more dressed up for my grungy day job than I ever did working in corporate america - it's so much more expressive). Congrats again!
ooh! congrats. how exciting! xo
This skirt is killing me! I love it! Did you hem it, or did you thrift it that way?
Congrats on the job!! That is fabulous!
ah i want your hair! can't wait to meet you this weekend! tiek said you're staying at our hotel---sleeeepover! you can show me how you style your hair since I can't do poop with mine. <3!

You are so cute! I've just started reading, so I'm reading backwards and this post got me really excited to read about the job! Heh.
I know what you mean re: dressing fancier than the rest of your co-workers. I work at a company that develops a web app and everyone is SUPER casual. I wear dresses or skirts everyday. People are used to it now, though : )
