You could have had that bag off department store racks yesterday ...maxi, crop jacket, bow blouse, all the elements. Pretty fabulous combo. Again, more fierce wishing from me that you get your job. That blue blazer works so well with that red dress ... love that too, but you made a great choice with the other for the interview.<br />Off to grocery shop for the restaurant and find a bite to eat in the Big City.<br />It's our first hint of chill beyond the usual morning drop, and am pleased to be able to wear some layers I've been wanting to try.

I hope the outcome is a good one for you. I love the red and purple together. I love colour and it's funny how you've been wearing a lot of black of late, I've been wearing more black lately after finally finding a way I like to balance the heaviness of black on me. But colour will always have my heart and I love everyone in colour.

If they're looking for someone who knows her stuff, who's passionate about vintage, is eager to work (even as a volunteer) and has experience of managing, well, look no further. Fingers, toes and eyes crossed. Only I hope they make a decision soon, cos the eye crossing bit is hard work. Black is fine sometimes, sometimes you feel like it, but we all know you can't beat a bit of colour. You certainly look the part in your interview outfit anqd red and purple is a killer combination. Busy, it's a curse and an affliction, but I'm not sure I know how to do anything else any more.
