Dead Week


If I were to give this week a theme, it would be "late." Because Thanksgiving was so late this year, there's only two weeks between Thanksgiving break and winter break, as opposed to the usual three. Because of this, everything feels rushed. All of a sudden, it's dead week, everything is due, and finals are next week. Of course, every college student I know (especially those of us with acute senioritis) has put off all projects and papers until after break, which means there's less than a week to do everything. Needless to say, I'm stressed. I'm well aware that this could have been avoided had I actually worked on assignments during my week off, but then what kind of break would that be? (Side note: I don't know why I think this blog could help me get a job in the fashion industry when I constantly insist on writing things about my laziness. I really am a hard worker, I swear. You have to believe me.)

Because of my mountain of homework, I've been slacking on commenting on blogs again. Rest assured, I am still reading. Thank goodness for smartphones and breaks between classes. I do have to admit that a few of my assignments are actually pretty interesting. A presentation entirely on e-commerce and a paper on "District 9?" Not too shabby for homework. 

Business Attire


I know it never ends up being true when I say this, but this is actually a short post for you. I feel awful that most of my posts have been about how busy I've been lately, but it's senior year and I'm trying to cram in everything I can before the real world comes knocking on my door. As I mentioned in my last post, my brother, sister-in-law and nephew are visiting from back home, so I've been spending time with them in between work and class. I might have come into work late yesterday to spend the day with them at an apple orchard. Perks of being a boss? One of these days I'll actually have interesting things to say and I'll catch up on reading blogs. I still love blogging, so don't think I've abandoned you that easily.

As for the outfit, this is what I wore to the Shop.org/National Retail Federation event in Chicago last week. I was told to dress professionally, but since it was fashion related, I still wanted to keep my personal style in tact. This knee-length skirt, blazer, and the nude flats are some of my most worn items, but together they were the perfect business attire. I owe a huge thanks to my friend Ginny who stepped outside with me during a break to snap these.
