Power Animal

When: March 1, 2011

What:

Blazer: Mossimo Target via Goodwill

Top: Nordstrom B.P. 

Skirt: H&M

Heels: madden girl via TJ Maxx

Where: To an interview for OSU Office of Admissions TOUR Ambassadors 

Why: Readers, I'd like to introduce you to my new nude pumps. They are my new crush (sorry, Paul). I threw this outfit together before my interview. According to the weather, I should totally be wearing tights, but I feel like it's wrong to wear tights with nude pumps. They are nude. They should match my skin, which looks pink, but that's beside the point. Because I am lacking in the "business casual" department, I paired a flowy summer top and covered with a blazer. 

The interview went well! I have no idea where I stand, because there were so many qualified and well spoken candidates. Worst case scenario, I met some really cool adults that run campus recruitment. They all had senses of humor, which I totally dug. 

I got a laugh from one of the interviewers when I switched from my heels to topsiders after the interview. I was working business up top, party on the bottom. That's how I do.

Flight Attendant Barbie

When: February 28, 2011

What: 

Blazer: Mossimo Target via Goodwill

Scarf: Headcovers (similar)

Skirt: H&M

Tank top: Nordstrom B.P.

Belt: Anne Klein via TJ Maxx

Tights: Betsey Johnson via TJ Maxx

Heels: Steve Madden via Nordstrom (similar)

Where: Monday night dinner and Chapter

Why: I wanted to test out a more "business casual look." This is what I ended up with: flight attendant Barbie. I look like a flight attendant, do I not? All I need in the wings pin and a pillbox cap. I've been wanting to try the scarf-in-a-belt look, and that's what I did here, but it's sort of hard to notice. If I were to redo this outfit, I think I would wear higher heels. The amount of coverage and the heel height makes this outfit a bit matronly (that's a shout out to you, Tim Gunn). I think it would be fun to remix this with a bit more color. This is pretty much all the black I own in one place. Do you have any ideas to spice up this ensemble? Leave a comment!
