A Ray of Sunshine

I spent the last six months working almost every Saturday and Sunday. Other than a few weekends I requested off because of something or another that I needed to do, I haven't had a whole weekend off just to hang out since before I started working at the bridal salon. This past weekend was the first one I had off without any plans. It was awesome. We barbecued on Friday, slept in on Saturday, and went to the lake on Sunday. Even though I usually had two days off during the week from working at the bridal salon, it wasn't always in a row. Plus, there's just something not as fun about trying to do weekend-type stuff during the week.

Hopefully, I won't have to work weekends again anytime soon.

Funky Lady

I realized that I've been wearing a lot of solids lately, so I decided it's time to mix it up with some patterns. Lace and polka dots go hand-in-hand and were perfect for work at the bridal salon on Sunday. I didn't want to look too lady-like, so I added a big bun on top of my head and some funky, long earrings. The final touches kept the outfit from looking too sweet and naive. I must have looked pretty sure of myself because I sold a wedding gown to my bride!

I start my new job at Texas Monthly today. I'll probably wear something a little more toned down than this outfit, at least for my first day. I remember from my internship that everyone in the office dresses very casual, so I don't want to look like I'm trying too hard. Wish me luck!

Mixed Feelings

I've been dealing with a lot of feelings lately. I haven't had a day off from either of my jobs since February 14 and I think it's starting to get to me. Honestly, I don't think I can do it much longer. Luckily, I have this weekend off for the Texas Style Council and I couldn't be more excited. I don't know if I'm more excited to have three days off in a row or to be attending such an amazing event. All I know is that I can't wait to meet and talk with some of my favorite bloggers. Fortunately, my excitement for this weekend is totally overpowering my feelings of being overworked. I'll worry about that next week.
