A Lot Has Happened: Outfits 3-6

November 15, 2010

I like to pretend we’re best friends that talk everyday and you always know what’s going on in my life. But this past week has been so crazy that we have only gotten to text a couple of times. :) So I’m going to try to catch you up to speed.

I was totally caught off guard with the 75 degree weather we had. I had no clothes for that. Good thing I had these jean cut off shorts included in the challenge!

One of my best friends had to get some stitches last week and I’ve been helping her nurse herself back to health. She hasn’t been able to drive so we’ve been going to get our nails done, hair done, pick out shower gifts, go to the bank and grocery store, etc. It’s been so fun to help her because she is always thinking of others and I really enjoyed making sure she was taken care of. Plus, we got to hang out a lot and I always love that!

I just accepted a job at Anthropologie! Ahhh! I’ve been there a couple of days for meetings and training/orientation. It’s been so fun. I am feeling like such a grown up because most of the girls there are right out of college. One of my boss’ husbands wants to talk to Bob about blogging (because he’s a genius) and another is married to the principle of the school where my husband graduated. I knew marrying him would come in handy! :) So for the first time in my life I feel like I’m making grown up contacts instead of just making friends. Does that make sense?

I have one friend there (who is marrying my sisters brother-in-law!) and I’m so excited to get to work with her. Hopefully we’ll be on the schedule together a lot.

We also threw my sister a baby shower. She’s due January 1 with her second boy. She doesn’t have a name yet. Got any suggestions for her?

    Congrats on the new job!

    I have a name suggestion – my second boy (born this past January)’s name is Griffin. We get lots of compliments on it. I also like Bennett, Ryder, Ender, and Jameson. My first son is Michael, but that is pretty boring! Classic, but boring :)

    That’s so exciting you got a job at Anthro!!! I’m so tempted to take on a 2nd job there just to get an employee discount, but I don’t think I’d be too great at juggling 2 jobs.

    You already know I am super jealous of your new job! So fun! I used to work at the Gap in college. It was the best time. So fun! I loved this post… so jam packed with outfit goodness! Oh and my mom was in town last week… she was telling me how much she loves your blog (found it through the “it” list). How cute is that?

    I love the name Grayson. That was going to be my daughters name if she were a boy. Gray for Grays for short. Just my two cents.

    Cute outfits! What is that watch you’re wearing? Thanks!

    Aw, I missed you!! You look precious in all your pictures, obviously … now tell me about that pink braided bracelet. ;)

    OK, where do you live? it is so beautiful. It can’t be SoCal because you actually have Fall with leaves a turnin and everything.

    My son’s name is Beck. I love it. No, we do not call him Becky.

    Congratulations on your new job! How exciting!
    Loving all of your outfits – I really like the grey pants and the striped sweater!

    Congrats on the job — Sounds like a lot of fun! I love the shorts + boots combo!

    a) Congrats on your new job! So jelly of the discount you are going to get on all of their adorable stuff.

    b) The wide legged trousers you have on in the second group of photos? I need them today. Surrsly. So. Cute. Where are they from?

    c) Hmmm….welll, we had to come up with four names with our two guys, so I’m pretty partial to them (Simon Jack and Gavin Frankie). But I also love the names Liam and Oliver, which I couldn’t convince my husband to use, and Sam and Max, because The Hubs said they sounded like dog names. WhatEVS.

    Have a good one!
    Merci,
    Shannan

    Congrats on your new job! That is so cool!! I have always wanted to work at Anthro, but 1) It’s kind of far from where I live to justify driving to a part-time job and 2) I would feel so old working with all those young, adorable girls! lol. I prob wouldn’t even get the job, LOL. I love all the looks you put together!!! That pink scarf with the gray shirt looks so pretty. Can’t wait to see more. Enjoy that new discount!!!! My bro-in-law works for UO , so I know you all get a fab discount. I would def be working for clothes!!! LOL

    Love the outfits – especially that last one with the stripes! It looks so cozy! Congrats on the new job and the discounts – yahoo! I will throw out my 2 boys names and where we got them. First is Jake, because, I mean, who doesn’t love the name Jake!? I actually fell in love with that name when I was a teenager watching 16 Candles. If you haven’t seen that movie (I know I am telling my age here!), just check out Jake in it. You will be in love! My second boy is Griggs. His name is my husband’s Mom’s maiden name. I love that it’s a family name, and people also never forget it!

    Wow! So many good ideas for names!

    @Merci Blah Blah – I got those pants at Gap about 5 years ago. Sorry.

    Do you live out in Wildwood? Your pics look just like my parents back yard!

    I love the gray sweater with the buttons on the sleeve! I can’t believe I missed that one since I saw you almost every day last week. Thanks for taking care of me…I love you, Linda!
