Interview Attire

This is what I wore for a job interview last week at a shoe store. I felt I did a pretty good job with putting together an outfit that said "19, stylish, and professional." What do you think? I don't normally ask for constructive criticism, but when it comes to interview-appropriate clothes I could really use some advice!



I assure you the wind-blown hair and sultry glare weren't there for the interview, it was just really windy outside!

30 for 30: My 30 items

I meant to post this last week but the days just flew by! Here are the 30 items I'll be remixing for the challenge.















I don't want to impose a lot of rules on myself (it's supposed to be fun after all!) but there are a few:

- I'm not counting tights, leggings, winter coats, tank tops worn for modesty's sake, scarfs, belts, or any other accessories
- I hope to finish this challenge before Dec. 15 (when I fly home for Christmas) so I'll be posting more frequently than I have been the past few months
- that being said, I won't force myself to rush and finish the challenge if it happens to take longer
- I won't purchase any new clothing during the challenge (I might buy some second hand clothes, but mostly I'll be saving my money for Christmas)

I'm really excited about this challenge and will start posting the next 29 outfits soon!

Hefty Hideaway

Happy Halloween! Tonight I'm going to a movie night at the Pride centre, and I'm dressing up as Tracy Turnblad.



The wig took a lot of styling, but I wouldn't be Tracy without it.



The clothes are all thrifted, the wig is from a costume shop, and the shoes were already in my closet. Hope you all had a good Halloweekend! What did you dress up as?

Things I Love About Halloween

1. Haunted houses

I absolutely love being scared. On Friday night I went to the Shock House here in Regina with a classmate and it was incredible! It was so good that I'm going again tonight with a few other friends. Three stories of haunted dormitory terror (and the actors did a great job)!

2. Carving pumpkins...



...and roasting the seeds



3. Cute crafts



I was inspired to make this little bunting flag after seeing this sticker at Michaels. Making a Halloween craft had me all nostalgic for Halloween as a child, and I really like the way it turned out.

4. Watching Hocus Pocus



This is definitely my favourite Halloween movie, I think I've watched it almost every Halloween since I was a kid!

5. Halloween themed nails



They're a bit messy (I have such a hard time painting my nails) but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to break out the orange and black nail polish. The spider web is my favourite!

Other things I love about Halloween //
little kids trick or treating (wish I was in a house and could hand out candy!), Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episodes, Pillsbury Halloween cookies (but they're so hard to find in grocery stores), costume parties, doing the time warp, watching horror movies... the list goes on!

I'll be posting my costume tomorrow. Happy Halloween!

1 of 30: Autumnal orange

Here is my first outfit of the 30 for 30 challenge. I'll be slowly rolling out the other 30 outfits over the next few months. I'll post the 30 items I'm using and my self-imposed rules in a few days, probably after the weekend.





I don't have too much to say. This week has been a tough one mental-health wise, but I'm starting to feel much better. In one of my classes today we had an artist's trading card session and it was awesome! The ATC collective here meets and trades on the last Saturday of every month, so I think I'll try to be ready for the one in November. It seems so wonderful! Also, after class today, I went to Value Village (for the fourth time in less than four weeks) and got the finishing touches for my Halloween costumes. I can't wait to put it all together!
