Cash Money

So I have a job interview at a certain grocery store tomorrow afternoon, as long as the supposed winter storm doesn't interfere too much. 

Now, grocery store cashier doesn't necessarily scream chic, but it will give me the cash money to go out and get a few new clothes pieces. Not too much though, because I need some moolah for school next year. [Yes, I should be working on my Ryerson portfolio stuff, but I'm having a brain aneurysm-inducing writer's block. Dramatic much? Of course]

Among that list are: 

Some jeans that actually fit would be swell, but I'm not picky. 

Plus I haven't been to Value Village in forever, and I could find cheap things to practice reconstructing and so on. 

So, Sough, Sew

Now that I am done high school forever, and have a whole semester off before University, I have a lot of free time on my hands. Sure, I should probably be setting my sights on getting a job first, but I mean would you be doing that in my position? 

What I'd really like to do is amass some hobbies, because I really lack in hobbies. So what's an aspiring fashionista to do? Learn to sew!

My Nana gave me a sewing machine about a year or so ago. It was an old one of hers she never used. It only does straight stitching but it's still pretty cool. My mom also has a pretty nice sewing machine I can try to use.

Oh the freedom. This is exciting.

I need a belt

Okay, need is the wrong word. I have a belt that is fully capable of keeping my pants up, which I got at Value Village for like 50 cents. 

It's yellow and pretty sweet, but I wear it all the freaking time. 

Variety is the spice of life, and I need some variety. 

*headdesk*

"You're trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson...aren't you?

I received the 40th anniversary of the Graduate for Christmas and watched it a total of five or six times. [Although two of those times were with commentary tracks] I have come to the realization that Anne Bancroft was one of the sexiest women alive. 

These are from The Graduate. 

Here she is later in life, with her husband Mel Brooks. 

Her onscreen daughter, Elaine [Katharine Ross] is also just as beautiful.

I adore this raincoat. 

Return of the Boyfriend Sweater

Some of you may remember my little story a year ago about my love of the boyfriend sweater. You know the striped, crew neck shirt you see on preppy guys, hipster guys or preppy hipster guys. 

At the time I merely wished to have a boyfriend who owned one of these sweaters for me to borrow/steal. But my boyfriend doesn't own one of these sweaters, nor is he the type to wear one of these sweaters. I could buy him one of these sweaters, but I don't think it would be fair to steal a gift away from him. Therefore, I'm cutting out the middle man and just buying one of these sweaters for myself. 

It may not be an authentic boyfriend sweater, but it's better than those stupid gap boyfriend trousers. Plus I'm going to actually buy a men's sweater. 

Like this one from West 49. Although I may scour Value Village at some point to fine a cheaper version. 

Happy January

Which I don't really mean. I hate January. They're dull and sucky. 

BUT I hope everyone had a great Christmas/Hanukkah what have you. Although I did not receive any clothes for Christmas, it doesn't really matter because I got a sexy sexy Macbook which I'm typing on right now. I think it's a fair trade-off. I don't need to expand my wardrobe too much at the moment. 

The best part is that although my camera is still on the fritz, I can use this to take crappy webcam-y pictures of my outfits for all two of you to see. Yay!!!! 

I'm going to try and work out the kinks, because you can't really see all of the skirt. But hey trial and error right? 

This is a possible outfit for the first day back tomorrow. Sort of channelling Chuck from Pushing Daisies in the episode "Smell of Success" [Yes, I know episode titles, too much trivia on Facebook] 

It's sort of dressy, but what should I care? 

I'll most likely not wear the skirt out of panic tomorrow morning though. That always happens.
