Interview Day!

What do you wear for an interview in the department where you already work?

Good question. I struggled with that all night last night, until I came up with today's outfit.

See, here's the thing- I'd wear a suit to any other interview. I know what's considered professional and whatnot, but here's my beef (and I think I said this, before, when I interviewed for my current position). I work here every single day. These people know my style and they know who I am. Many of them know about my blog, too. So, if I wore a suit, it would kind of be like fraud, don't you think? I'm not a "suit" person. So, I figured I'd stay classy and professional, but add color, embellishment, and some layering. Now, I feel like a more polished, interview-ready, version of regular ol' me!

first of all, I know, I know- the pictures are fuzzy and my eyes are red.

until I get the privileges of having photoshop on my work computer (for no other reason than having a blog), we work with what we have!

but, if someone wants to tell me about this website, piknik.com (or something like that), I'd love to know more!

email me at ksparham(at)gmail(dot)com.

thanks!

I got this sweater with one of my giftcards from Christmas. Thanks to my MIL, I'm now the new owner of something fuschia (my mom's color)! Or ... I don't really know if that's what color this sweater is.  You can refer to your Pantone flip. We have one at home (hubs is a graphic designer), and I look at it a lot for color inspiration. Anyway, what I love most is the neckline! It's literally a bunch of little knots made of the sweater material, but they are really tightly woven in and very sturdy. I think it's really, really pretty!

This is our faculty/staff lounge at work. It's the only place that had any natural light this morning (indoors). It's freezing and raining, outside, so I didn't go for the front yard pics, today. I really need to be adventurous and go searching for better locations. If I could just get my butt out of bed i nthe mornings...

I literally spent about 5 minutes JUST on concealing my undereyes this morning. That's so pathetic. I mean, maybe it's not. Maybe, if you do a whole face of makeup every day and are really into it, 5 minutes is normal for concealing. I have no idea. All I know is that I haven't had a hangover in a really long time, but I remember what it looks like on me. And today, I looked hungover.

All I've had to drink for days is water. Oh, and a diet root beer last night.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day! Tomorrow is FRIDAY, already. Can you believe it?

Make sure to check yesterday's post about the brand new Trendy Tots Tuesdays!

We'll be starting next week.

Now, wish me luck, and I tell you how it all went down, tomorrow!
