Work Outfits - Mustard and Brown

Well, the last couple of days have been crazy. First of all, it snowed! Not a little piddly amount, but a foot of snow! You folks who don't live on the West coast don't know how fragile we delicate flowers are out here - we don't get snow very often and it shuts down everything!

Secondly, I don't have my Wed WW group anymore, so one less day of outfits (booooo). However, I did work a meeting today downtown and finished up my Receptionist training tonight. So here's an outfit:
Last wore this sweater here, and this skirt here. It's freakin' cold out, so I'm also wearing a cami under the sweater, a half-slip under the skirt, tights and then socks over the tights.

Classic leg on table pose:
I've had these shoes for ages (last seen here) and I just can't bear to get rid of them, even when I'm in a major clean-out-closet mode.

The stuff:
Kristen and I are the queens of yellow! We do love our mustard.

A close-up:
Pretty scrolly bits.

And...in other news, I have a job interview tomorrow morning (please send good vibes!). I applied online on Monday, and got the call on Wednesday. I was put through a half hour interview right then and there (!) and then they set up the interview for Friday. I have my fingers crossed but I am trying not to get my hopes up. I'll post the interview outfit when I get home and let you all know how it went.

Sweater (Pria), skirt (Liz Claiborne, thrifted), shoes (Unlisted), belt (Anne Klein pour Caleche, consignment), earrings (Plum).

  1. Good luck with the interview. We had over a foot of snow this week, but cold climates handle it a bit better.

  2. Today has got to be yellow day! You, Sal and even Shygirl wore gorgeous mustardy colors. Love the sweater, it looks snuggly warm. Perfect for snow.

    We're currently getting dumped on by tonnes of rain and possible floods again. >.< I'd rather have snow at this point!

  5. I love those shoes! They are still in great shape and quite current- so unless you're sick to death of them, I say, keep 'em! They're sharp!

  14. Mustard is a color that entices me... So delish. And so something that I think I unfortunately couldn't wear... pales blondes and mustard... to me it sounds as appetizing as a cold hot-dog!

  17. Thanks, Rebecca! We're such wimps about the cold here.

    Megan, that's hilarious! I'll take rain over snow any day - you don't have to shovel it!

    C&B, thanks!

    Thanks, Shy!

    Tina, yes, they're knee highs! I'm such a rebel.

    Thanks, Rita, I love them too - I've never seen another pair like them. A good Winners score!

    Thanks, Rebecca - I was okay in my travels today. Aw, thank you - I love mustard!

    Pam, thank you!

    Ponch, thanks! I take great pride in all my awesome shoes. I carry them and wear weatherproof boots when necessary.

    Thanks, Alecia! Yup, these shoes are keepers. Ah, thank you for the daffodil image!

    Thanks, Laniza!

    Sal, thank you!

    Thanks, Alison, here's hoping!

    Thanks, Beck - this felt a little blah to me (because I'm sick).

    Susu, I love most shades of yellow, but marigold/mustard is probably my favourite.

    Thanks, Kim! Are you guys in town this weekend? We could go shopping...

    Scary Closet (love the name), thank you!

  19. I love,love,love those shoes. Don't you dare give them away without selling or (giving) them to me. Glad your interview went well, I bet you would be an asset to any company smart enough to hire you. Good Luck!
