How I wore it: Businesswoman's Special

Guys, is there anything more miserable than leaving for a hiring meat market at 6:30 on a Saturday morning?

Getting up at 5:30 for the privilege of doing so...

To go to ONE interview.

No, that's not true. I actually had a productive day. I had my one interview, which went well, but - unfortunately - I don't think that school would be right for me. However, I did run into my contact person from the company and she said that the guy from the school that I really liked (the one whose interview I still maintain I flubbed?) said that he'd had a really good interview with me. So all hope isn't lost! I decided to skip out early (there are only so many times you can listen to "Pou'nai ta Chronia" without singing along, public or no) and grabbed a GF snack at a Starbucks, read a little, bought a friend a birthday present, and came home to immediately change into my PJs.

This is how I looked/felt when I came home:

Fancy librarian! For today I envisioned a sleek, simple silhouette: a classic pinstriped (though you can't tell) pencil skirt and a crisp button-down, tucked in. Although you can't tell from my photo, both top and bottom have stripes. I'm firmly of the belief that a grey pinstripe is a solid neutral, so it's okay to combine it with another striped article of clothing, even if the stripes aren't the same. What do others think about this?

For fun, I decided to wear my light grey studded flats. I'm a serious teacher! But also a BADASS! Whose feet hurt. Ow. 

So although I don't feel as if my actual travelling was much needed, I was happy to hear that the school I liked is back in the running (or so I hope). It was also nice to take a good hour or so at a bookstore, have a snack, and a read a stupid book. Ahhh, Saturdays.

MUCH sassier! Too bad you can't see my shoes.

PS - Folks, for those of you who are anxiously awaiting news about my future glasses, never fear. I went on the Warby Parker page on Facebook and asked about the status of my sample frames. Allegedly, they'll be shipping out Monday and arriving Wednesday! Squee! 

PPS - If you're interested in WP glasses and are on Facebook, you should totally "like" their page. People post pictures of themselves trying on frames and the company gives its opinion. And makes announcements. And is awesome.
