the bow is back

The good thing about taking forever and a day off from blogging is that you are stock FULL of interesting things to write about. The bad thing is that you feel super disconnected and like you lost a lot of friends all at once. So with that, I'm back!

Lots has gone on since I last appeared in your blog roll - which is a good thing because MAN, my life would be really boring if nothing happened while I took my hiatus.

The top news has to be that this Friday is my last day with my current job. Yes, my whole family thinks I am insane for giving up the working from home gig...but I say, until you do it, you don't know how much it is NOT FUN. Especially when you have a job where you have to be behind the computer from 8-5. So no, mom, I am not going to miss doing my laundry during the day because I never once had time to do that.

And honestly, I really miss dressing nice. Victoria's secret boyfriend sweat pants that make your butt look 5 times it's size? Those aren't nice. So I have taken these last two weeks and made them "re-stock your wardrobe" weeks. It's been really fun, to me, not to my bank account. But it's necessary...right? Right.

new booties. it only took me a year to gain the courage to buy a pair and rock them...

new fall maxi. RUN to your local Old Navy and buy this...as long as you are no taller than 5'3"

I might have worn this every day since I got it. GIVE ME ALL THE VESTS.
 
There's more, but we'll leave it at that for now...only because I have an excuse now to throw in a few OOTD pics every so often. Good thing I bought that full length mirror when we moved!

  1. I know your feelings on wanting to dress nice again! When I left the brewery (where I wore jeans & tshirts and sweated all day with no AC) and started working at ECU, I was so excited to actually put on heels and jewelry again! Husband was not a fan when he discovered I signed back up for a Loft credit card though, oops!

  9. I've been wanting booties for a long time, but still haven't found the right pair. I feel like they always look weird on me but they look so cute on everybody else!

  15. First off, yay for being back :) We missed you! Secondly, I can totally understand wanting to get away from the work from home thing. I used to do it 3x a week and I was always so anxious to get out of the house. It got old pretty quickly. Thirdly, I am under 5'3" and need that maxi. Fourthly (is that a word?), WHERE IS THAT VEST FROM!?
