Something different every time

The most conventional ways of wearing the Le Sac dress from American Apparel. I changed styles many times throughout the day:

Number one (the jumper) is my favorite way to wear it. Pretty lazy and easy to do. What's your favorite?

I'll be your sweetheart!

Oh yeah, I totally forgot to show you the sweetheart dress! 
Ugh these are terrible photos but just wanted to give you a look:

Beware! The dress rides up. 
When I got to work, I bought a pair of black sheer tights, it really helps the dress stay down. 
I also put a silver baby rib cardigan over it:

I don't really like to wear the dress by itself. One day I wore it with a tee-shirt over, it was all right. My favorite version was wearing it with a sea blue interlock pencil skirt over it. Sorry I don't have a better picture, but I'll be sure to wear the same this again this week and take a good photo- it was really really cute. Here's my store manager and I out to dinner to say good-bye to one of the keyholders already featured.

Now the dress comes with a neon splatter pattern. I'm not so enthused. The mint is pretty cute though.

accessories galore! workday

Cheers to working forty hours this next coming week. I'll try to post my work outfits everyday, a lot of times people come in and ask what I'm wearing- then buy it. I guess that's how retail works. It's so fun to try different things with the clothes. I just learned that I'm getting a summer allowance in the beginning of July so that will be a fun shopping spree. I have to start making a list of what I want to get. I don't even know what I'm going to get.. we just got the Big T-Shirt in white with thin black stripes. It's really cute- they don't have it on the Web site yet, but once they do, I'll be sure to post it on here.


Any suggestions? 
If you got mad credit from American Apparel- what would you buy?

Maybe I'll try all the items on and take a picture wearing them. It could help your decision :-P

I took a weekend trip to visit a friend in San Luis Obispo. It was the most fun I've had in a long time, probably since I've been out of school or my last spring break in Arizona.
It's really nice to find time you can spend all by yourself. I did a lot of walking and wandering and eating and reading and thinking all alone.
I found that I can be extremely critical of others when there's no one with me to hold me back. Then I forced myself to see something good in each person I wanted to judge. It worked for a little bit.. I guess.
San Luis Obispo has a lot of small boutiques, there's a Therapy and Ambiance. I'm not really into the boutique thing.
The people in SLO are very laid back, not very high fashion. Lots of scarf and flip flop combos- I absolutely despise it. I vow to never wear flip flops and a scarf in the same ensemble, and you should too!
