When In Rome.....

My Current position as an Admission Counselor is my first real job out of college. I remember my first day....I did not know what to wear. VP told me the look in the office was professional, but once I arrived I found it was more business casual.



I had a rough time getting the hang of work attire, so I took style cues from my co-workers (the 4 other Admission Counselors...3 of whom have left). But after a few months of working there I realized that their style was so not me.....not to diss pearls and cardigans, but it's just not my steez!





So, right now I am experimenting with looks I can feel comfortable in. What I'm interested in is an sophisticated urban look. I'm a very creative person and I need my clothing to express that!


So, in the coming months I'm gonna be experimenting with looks and of course I will share my style revelations.

So, I mentioned that I bought some stuff online and I just wanted to share with you all what I got!

Endless.com is hands down the best website for shoes! They have designer shoes for great prices and they even take $5 off your total (not sure why they do this, but it's for a limited time). I just bought 2 pairs of Penny Loves Kenny pumps....one in black and one in yellow. These shoes were so girly yet grown up. The cute heart shaped design is what really caught my eye!I can easily see myself wearing these to the office, then putting on some jeans and a fitted top to hang out with friends.







Each pair was only $23.79...what a steal!!


Then I found this website, bethbenderbeauty.com, that sells makeup and such. And when I was looking at the eye products I found a stencil kit that helps you draw a cat eye, perfect the smoky eye, and even the impossible simple line across the lashes! You know I was all over that!






Now at $36 I was hesitant to purchase this eye kit, but I have been wanting to perfect these techniques since I picked up my first black kohl eyeliner pencil...so I figured this purchase was simply an investment in my makeup future!

Have a great weekend!
