Spring Tweed Jacket

Thursday, May 18, 2017

I've been at the new job for about 2 weeks now. I won't say I've settled into a routine just yet, but am starting to get comfortable enough where I can go on instinct (not having to think) during my commute. One main difference I've noticed between this new project vs. my last one is the age group of my coworkers around me. This project skews a lot younger, so much so that I'm probably one of the outliers. And for the first time in my working career, I'm surrounded by a good number of females -- stylish ones, too! I met a girl in the elevator who wanted to know where I got today's tweed jacket from. When I happily told her, "Zara, and it's recent, so you can find it online," her face completely lit up. It made my day.

Ladies Who Lunch

Sunday, May 07, 2017

Today's outfit is what I dub my "ladies who lunch" look. I've been playing the housewife for a couple of weeks before starting a new job. Unlike the last time, this change is on my terms (my 1099 dreams are finally coming true!) The only downside is the state of this blog. I'll be taking the Metro to the new job, so that means I won't be lugging my tripod and camera along. I'm not sure when I'll find the time and place to take outfit photos... weekends? Should I just stick to iPhone photos? Everything is up in the air right now, so just a heads up that posts will be very sporadic while I figure things out.
