Both my bosses, VP and Director, are on vacation (btw, who goes on vaction just 2 weeks after starting a new job?). And before she left, Director told me not to go wild because "when the cat's away the mice will play" (her exact words). Ummmm, she does not know me! But anyway, I had a very very busy week. I am working on this program for October (it's an event for prospective students). Since this is my 2nd event for this school I feel pretty confident in what I need to do. However, I have to work with the Communications Department to get the invitations ready. And let me just say the communications dept. sucks! I went to them early this month with a cute idea and in return I got nothing that resembled my vision. Forget creative licesene, it looks like complete garbage. So, back to the drawing board I went....and I think we have some sort of compromise. But it's just a shame when you ask someone to do something and they get it wrong.
Before the week started, I went to my local Target to check out the new GO Designs of Libertine. Quite honestly, I have to admit that I have never heard of these designers or this label so I didn't know what to expect. But I found a few cute things. I should have taken pictures of me trying on the clothes in the dressing room, but I keep forgetting my camera....next time!
The first was this dress that I called the "Ghost Dress." It reminded me of something that little girl from "The Others" would wear.
I was hesitant at first, but went for it.....and it looked like a nightgown on me :(
I was really hopeful for this dress...even trying to get a belt to put with it and even imagining some tights...but it wasn't for me....maybe it's my body type. In the picture, the model seems to be wearing some pants with it....I don't see that working because the dress itself is so heavy and full, it would just overshadow the pants and just look hot (not sexy hot, but 'i'm burning up' hot). But I think I may go back and try it with pants.
The next item was this striped bow top. I imediately loved it. However, if you are well endowed up top it may not be such a good look. But I can see myself wearing this to work.
The final item I tried on was this pink skull and bones top. I like the skull. A friend of mine disagrees, but I think if you pair it with pink or some other unexpected color it makes it look less scary.
Next time I check out the Libertine designs at Target I will bring my camera!
Ooooo, I forgot to add....someone else is leaving at work. In my department (Admissions) we also work with Financial Aid and Student Affairs. Well, the Associate Director of Financial Aid decided to leave.....and return to her old job which she just left not even a year ago to work with us! Ummmm, whatev!(whateva's clever....btw, this speaks volumes!) I have a feeling some other 2 week notices will be popping up shortly!
Have a great Friday!!!
