This Is How I Disappear.

New Look: Twill Lux Blazer - £24.99
H&M: Heart Print Peter Pan Collar Top (old!)
Topshop: MOTO Leigh Supersoft Skinny Jeans - £38

Something a bit different from me today! I finally got my tripod back from my sister who borrowed it, and I managed to somehow snap some half decent photos of my outfit!

This is a very rare occasion for me because usually I can never get that photo and I normally end up getting mad and not bothering. I actually have to stand on my bed in order to get the shot as I don't have a plain white wall in my house that I can stand in front of!

You might remember me posting the jeans in last weeks 'What's in my shopping bags?' post and now I have finally been able to capture them on me instead of hanging on a wall.

I absolutely love the New Look blazer. It makes such a nice change from boring black cardigans! I'm also really fond of the heart print top which I really bought on a whim last year from H&M. I just picked it up off the rail and went straight to the till without even trying it on, luckily it was a perfect fit.

I'm still getting used to my ASOS Flatforms. They make me feel like I have really huge feet. I'm also not used to the way they look with skinny jeans or leggings, but on other people it looks great so I shall persevere.

I wore this out to dinner with Vince on Saturday night. We went to a local Thai restaurant partly to celebrate the fact we both finally have jobs now! We haven't gone out for dinner in a while as we usually just settle on a takeaway so it was nice to go out! Of course the food was lovely!

Working in Retail

The fun of being unemployed wears off fast! I've managed to get myself into a bad routine of going to sleep in the early hours of the morning and not waking up again until after midday. It means that I'm totally missing the first half of the day because by the time I'm showered, dressed and properly awake, it's usually way past mid-day!

As I'm looking for a job at the moment, I'm going to have to get used to early mornings again. After handing out lots of CVs last week, I got a reply from Miss Selfridge and I have an interview on Friday at 4pm. If I'm successful it will be my first retail job since working in New Look. I did enjoy working there and quietly looking at all the products as I tidied up and replaced stock. Unfortunately, the people there were not so nice but I thoroughly enjoyed the 50% discount!

Working in Retail again would be a nice change from the Cafe I've been working in for three years back home in Weston Super Mare! No more smelling of chips and fat! I've already planned what I'm going to wear for the Interview. I did wonder whether to go with the formal Interview outfit of black trousers and a white shirt, but I thought I would go for something a bit more 'stylish' seeing as it is a clothes shop.

I've decided on some Tailored Crop Trousers, which I've never worn, along with my new Caramel Coloured Boat Neck T Shirt from Zara. Being the idiot that I am, I've forgotten to bring any black flat pumps to Southampton so I've decided to wear a teeny tiny pair of heels which I wore for my graduation.





I'm actually quite pleased with the outfit as I feel it's smart enough for an interview while still being 'fashionable' enough to be seen in a clothes shop! I would usually panic and leave it until the last minute, but in the spirit of wearing items in my wardrobe that I haven't done so before, I thought I'd dig out the cropped trousers! I'm just praying it doesn't rain or I'll be getting wet feet!

What does everyone think about my choice of outfit?
