Okay, so today kind of sucks. I did not get the job, and I did not win the Chictopia 10 contest. I love when life decides to dump all its disappointments on one day. Bummer cuz I was so happy this morning. Well played, life, well played. I'll get you back when you're not looking.
Anyway, I was going to post my interview outfit (which I thought was damn cute) but in light of this news, I say, "Fuck you, job interview outfit," and I will post this outfit from Monday when I was totally happy and felt probs the most pretty I've felt in a long time:
This is the first time I've "styled" my hair in forever (it's finally getting warm enough!). I wanted to make sure I could still beehive it with my shorter hair, and by jove, I can! I kind of want to wear my hair like this all the time, haha. It makes me feel vintage, whimsical and edgy all at the same time. Is that even possible? Let me know if you guys want me to inform you on how I do my hair like this. Orchid Grey did a little tutorial on how she does her hair kind of like this, so you can check that out too!

Speaking of featuring things from adorable shops, this dress is from none other than Noble Town Vintage! Yep, the same Noble Town Vintage that is currently giving away one vintage dress! So if you haven't entered yet, DO! You have till Saturday at noon, so get to it! I couldn't resist getting this dress when I saw it in the shop. It's a lot more summery than my current climate, but I couldn't not wear it. I can't wait to frolic in the summer time with this dress!
Also, some of you may have already heard, but I do have some good news. BUT! I'm not going to tell until tomorrow. I can hardly wait though!

I'm so sad for you! =[ I rooted, and voted, and commented, and tried so hard to help you. Sorry, dear.
And I know people always say you look like Zooey Deschanel, but this outfit post really, really makes you look like her.

sounds like a rough day but youd never be able to tell from these amazing photos! your hair is soooo good, perfectly brig bardot-ish. and that dress! <3
where did your mom get that lovely necklace - and where can I get one?!!
I'm sorry you didn't win or get the job. But at least you look fabulous in your dress. It's such a pretty color on you.
You look absolutely gorgeous here. I love everything about the outfit.
I am very sorry to hear all the sad news :( my cousin applied at McD's and didn't get a job, she is 19 years old, and McDonalds won't hire anyone. (MI job market sux)
All I can say though, is at least you look awesome! I really wish that I could style my hair like that. I even bought a "bump-it" but my hair is very thin and it won't hold. blah.
PS that neckalce is cery cool!!
i'm sorry about today...as i said in my tweet to you, hopefully you will be able to make a trip to nyc soon!

Sorry about the job - but on to better things and I think you totally rocked that outfit.
I shouldn't, but I am making grabby hands at your hair - it is TO DIE FOR! :o)
I'm sorry you didn't get the job. But didn't you say you had another offer to fall back on? Either way, I wish you luck. BTW, that dress is extremely adorable and just the sort of thing that I would pick out.
Hello sugar!
That 'E' necklace makes me think of the post you did awhile back where we said what name you suited most...i can't even remember what i guessed but i'm pretty certain it wasn't an 'e' name....did you ever disclose your name?
just curious....
awww sorry to hear about the bad news, but I'm super excited for your impending good news :)
you looked lovely, that is just the cutest dress! i too always forget about jewelry, I'm kind of plain in that way. But what a great necklace, with scrabble letter and all !!
Sorry about the job, but hey a new one will come soon :)
Love the dress and the hair must try that tutorial sometime!
So sorry you didn't get the job, hon. They don't know what they're missing.
Sorry about the job, I guess it just wasn't meant to be.
Love the dress and how personal that necklace is though!
Awesome hair! I applied for about fourteen thousand jobs over the past year, and didn't get any. And I'm way qualified! I only got one last month, so I know how you feel. But you look lovely and as I said, your hair takes the cake!
xx
oh man, that sucks!Well, they´re the ones that are missing out..your dress is lovely though, and i love your hair like that!xxx
It's a sad sad day for everybody I see, not havin a good one myself either but we'll get past it! I love the hair, please please post a tutorial on how you style it. Would love to try it out myself!! =)
Sorry about your bummer today! We totally were on the same level yesterday.. I hope your today is better though! I absolutely love your hair like this..! And that dress and tights are perfect. Very very pretty. (can't wait to see you.. wee! ;);)
If it makes you feel any better, I just came across your blog and just love it! I plan on checking in frequently.
It looks super cute! (Your hair that is)
that dress is amazing.
I'm sorry life is being crappy. hope something good happens to cheer you up!
That stinks that you had such a poopy day. As lame as it sounds, everything happens for a reason - so there must be some killer opportunity just around the corner.
On a brighter note, you look awesome. Your hair is looking stellar and that dress is oh too cute! Beautiful, indeed.
Aww, praying for your job search. But hey, silver lining, your hair looks all kinz of awesome here! I gave "kinds" that nice little ghetto spin for ya there. haha
Sorry you've had some disappointments, but at least that dress is to DIE FOR!!!! Love it! You look very Zooey Dachanel :)

Dont be too hard on yourself for not getting the job i didnt get a job i went for a few weeks back.
Its just there is hundreds going for the one job rather than 20 or so like it used to be.
Whats for you wont go past you,i am in the same situatio and honestly its their loss ;)
Aw, I'm sorry on both accounts. That's terrible. :( But I do love your hair. I wish I could figure out how to do that...but I don't even own a comb. It's a goal of mine to get one and do this though.
Also, love the dress. So sweet. Hopefully some good news will come your way soon.
oh no!
thats reeally terrible you are right about things going wrong all at once. . but dont worrry. things clear up sometimes and you'll see that something else will come up for you
I absolutely love that dress!
Ok, so random but...what sort of job are you looking for and how far away would you live from Alaska. Email me!
Aw, I hope your wonderful outfit brought a smile to your day. It's truly beautiful!
Aw, that's so lame! Oh well. On the upside, your dress is awesome and your hair is amazing. I just cut mine short and now I keep seeing all this awesome long hair... It makes me jealous! :)
I love that necklace your Mom got you. It is awesome. I love it a bit more than normal I think...cause I AM FROM ALASKA. =) Living in Europe right now, but missing my home town. Chugiak/Eagle River btw..if you are from there. I just found your blog, via London at blogfashion. I am going to start to stalk you..I mean follow you.=) Great Style chica.
