so I guess I like shopping now?

In light of a recent blog post, I took this photo of these awesome shoes I bought last week.

I had to wait and wait until they came into the store, Forever 21. The day that they came I personally ripped open the box and immediately bought them.

Then today I bought this necklace for myself. I don't know who decides that "oh American girls love roses, pearls, gems, locks, keys, and silhouettes right now, why don't we just put them all on one piece of jewelry," but apparently I'm into that kind of thing because I bought it.

Nerds!

So it's cool to be a nerd. Maybe it is because I am growing up, but I think the world is becoming more comfortable with individuals. It's okay to be weird and have interests that no one in your community has. It's probably because of the internet and the wonderful world of technology.

So check out this trend: NERDS!
Lassi from Hel Looks.



F21 of course!



It's even cool to have a geek centered wedding with these book center piece table markers at Once Wed.

Lastly the kids at RVA had a nerd party.... Check out Elsie's awesome pictures from the party.

Purchases

Working in retail is no good for my bank account. Good thing I work at one of the cheapest stores in the mall. ... or is it? Sometimes I wonder if I buy more because everything is just so cheap. Oh well, here is my weakness....

I've been getting really excited about fall lately. When the store first opened we had these boots. I wanted them but didn't get them. A few weeks ago we got a cheaper made version of these for $10 more! But what do you know...the better pair from April came in on Friday. Now they are in my room.


Check out the fancy inside. The other pair that was $10 more had an acetate lining!
Because of the new floor set I have a different section in the store. My section shares the same space as the accessories shop. So I bought some jewelry too. I think buying jewelry might be a regular occurrence now (I hope not).So I bought these gold rose earrings in silver too.I bought these bigger earrings because they remind me of the costume jewelry my grandmother and great grandmother have. Now I can wear these instead of the ones my mother inherited and not feel bad because they cost $5.80.


Lastly I bought this dress to wear to Brian's brother's wedding. It's apart of the newest line at XXI called twist.

My Day Job

So I just had another floor set this past week. That meant I did overnights. When I say overnights, I mean overnights.

Sunday night: 7pm-6am
Monday night: 10pm-6am
