Isn’t my mom beautiful? and stylish!
I’m excited to share that I have accepted a Digital Marketing position and I start this Thursday! I put my two weeks in at Gap this past Friday ๐ I really liked the people I worked with at Gap, but working retail was beginning to suck my soul (similar to the Dementor’s Kissย in Harry Potter). Overdramatic, maybe, but I have never come to the point where I’ve dreaded a job so much. Turns out that the typical college positions of retail + serving are not for me. I’m saying goodbye to working weekends, late night inventory and endlessly folding baby jeans. FINALLY!
Accepting this position is a pivotal point for me. Currently it is only a part time internship, because I still have 7 weeks of school until graduation, but it holds the potential to turn into something full time. Scary but so awesome! Lets hope I can prove myself in the next two months.
Anyways, thats all the excitement for now. My mom came to visit about 1.5 weeks ago, and this was the outfit I wore out to explore Art Prize on Wednesday night. I had to include a picture of her because she’s just the best + has great style! This quilted bomber from Gap (now on sale!) is surprisingly warm, so it kept me toasty as we walked around in the dark. This black Old Navy blouse is great because it is lightweight! I would highly recommend it if you like to layer in the winter.
Hope you all have a great start to your week!
Tell me, have you ever quit your job?

PS. this is my “new” hair – I cut 6+ inches off a few weeks ago. I really hated it at first, but after the initial two weeks I’m feeling much better

YOU GO GIRL! I quit retail, too (throwback to my days at BCBG Max Azria). Good time to get out before holiday craziness. Xoxo
For real, so happy I’m out before holiday hours

Thank you! How do you like it?!
Yay – congrats on this big news!! It’s so exciting to start a new career. I left retail after several years for marketing as well, and haven’t looked back. Well, that’s a bit of a lie. I do miss my discounts haha

Something About That
Very true about the discounts, but I’m definitely good at finding deals- plus I can’t spend money at work anymore!
Congrats! It sounds like your new path will be more in line with what you’re passionate about.
I love your leopard booties in this look!
Thank you! as much as I love fashion- working retail is definitely not my thing!
Congrats on your new job!
The jacket is super cute.

Thank you!!
I just quit my job in the summer and am currently not working for my final year (which is terrifying!) but I’m excited to get a job like you have. I am so over retail and part time work. I want to be out in the career world, which is what I’m working so hard for (stupid midterms). Congratulations!!
