First Day Jitters

Yesterday was my first day interning for the state attorney general’s office! After a few weeks of being lazy, I actually had to set an alarm and get up while it was still dark. I know it’s winter, but it is just unnatural for a human being (this human being, anyway) to get up before the sun. We are not nocturnal creatures. Except during undergrad.

Normally, this will be a business casual gig, but for my first day I wanted to come off looking as profesh as possible. Next step: stop using the word “profesh.”

Classes start back up next week, so for the next few months you’ll get to see a good mix of both casual and office-appropriate outfits. Something for everyone, right?!

One more thing: Do you like my necklace? If so, you’re in luck, because very soon you’ll have the chance to win one of your own! Check back tomorrow (Saturday 1/12) for the giveaway. Follow me on Facebook or Bloglovin’ so you don’t forget (you’ll need to follow me to be eligible to enter anyway).

Nothing Like New Shoes

Good news! You can stop holding your breath with anticipation because those shoes I told you about the other day came in! Oh, and they were BOGO so I got these boots for free! Nothing makes me happier than new shoes (except world peace and kittens), so I built this outfit from the feet up.

Speaking of new things, I got another shade of YSL Glossy Stain because I liked my first one so much. I went for this slightly purply pink because I’ve never worn a color like it before. What do you think? Lipstick is kind of a new obsession for me, so I’m just playing it by ear. Or by mouth. Whatever.
