I said I'd take a pic the next time I wore this outfit and here it is. It's after work, which has been busy all week and it rained on me as I was leaving so I'm looking a little wilted. But you get the idea.
I'm also overdue for a haircut, which I'll be taking care of this weekend. Because I have an interview for a real job on Monday or Tuesday (still working out those details). There may also be a possibility to stay where I'm currently temping but I don't know for sure. We're not yet at the point to talk about it, but I hear things. ;-) Right now, I'm just not picky. I need a permanent job. I need my old income. I'll take just about anything that gives me that. Being a legal assistant again after 25 years probably isn't my dream job, but I'm good at it. And there's a lot to be said for the lack of stress, even in this very busy litigation firm, compared to my last job. I loved that job, yes, but I've come to realize it came with a lot of manufactured stress over which I had no control. I work well under stress/drama but if I don't have to, then why not. I'm not 24 anymore and I never have liked female drama.
On a side note, there's a woman where I'm currently working who sews almost all her own clothes. That gives us something to talk about and she asks me almost every day if I've made what I'm wearing. LOL. I think I could teach her a lot about internet fabric shopping, since she talks about Joann's all the time. Poor woman. And maybe one day soon I'll be able to fabric shop again.
Definitely a cute outfit. Good luck on the upcoming interviews!
ReplyDeleteThat's a good looking outfit, Debbie. I'm glad to hear that there are a couple of permanent job opportunities brewing.I'll be thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteWishing you the very best job outcome. Keep sewing. It's a great stress reliever.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit -- fingers crossed for you in your interview!!!

ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best in your job search. Job stress is not worth the price we ultimately pay. Love your outfit, too ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe blue top works well with the skirt! Fingers crossed that something works out on the job front - and soon!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit all around! I really hope one (or both!) of these opportunities comes through for you.
ReplyDeleteMy heart was lighter when you told of these opportunities! Love the outfit, esp the quick sew!
ReplyDeleteFirst I'm so happy there are new doors opening up for you.
ReplyDeleteSecond, aren't you happy you have a wonderful fabric collection to sew from.
Third, you are still looking really good! Glad things are looking up for you!
Cute outfit-keeping fingers crossed for your interview. You WILL buy fabric again!
ReplyDeleteI just saw a job posting on Janome's website: http://janome.com/ and http://content.janome.com/documents/file/DSRPositionJuly-2013%5B1%5D.pdf
ReplyDeleteLove the outfit! Good luck with your job interviews.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in your new outfit--partly the look on your face. I think relief and prospects of a permanent job must have lightened your burden. Good wishes to you!

Debbie, this is a very nice outfit. It looks like the two pieces were made for each other. I am hoping that you get some good news on the job front and that you can keep sewing through all this uncertainty.
ReplyDeleteThat ensemble looks great on you. I wish you well on the job prospect.
ReplyDeleteOh what good news! I hope something pans out for you. Amazing how you realize the stress in a great job once you are away from it. And how nice to have a sewing friend. I need to learn some secrets from you and Carolyn about internet fabric shopping. g
ReplyDeleteLove the top and skirt together. Good luck with your job interview.
ReplyDeleteOh that outfit is lovely.I'm pleased you have some prospects for a permanent job soon. Ver best of luck

ReplyDeleteFingers crossed for you! A girl has to fabric shop ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper outfit! If you ever feel inclined to post about Internet fabric shopping, warts and all, I'm sure a lot of us would be interested in your advice - your fabric is admired...J
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that you found a job so you have income coming in. I wish you the best on the upcoming interviews. My advice a stress free work enviroment is worth a billion bucks.
ReplyDeleteGood luck! Keep on sewing and put one foot in front of the other. :-)
ReplyDeleteCute outfit, Debbie. Good luck with the job possibilities.
ReplyDeleteSending you all sorts of good vibes for your interviews!!
ReplyDeleteCute top and skirt. Looks cool and comfy. Good luck for the job interview. I agree about the stress. Who needs it! If you can get a job that pays the money with less stress then go for it. Don't think of it as a step backwards but a stepping stone to somewhere else. Who knows where it will lead?
ReplyDeleteCute outfit and lovely to see you posting again. Best wishes on the job front
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie, looking good and sounding better. Best of luck for next week, there is a lot to be said for a stress free job. It leaves time for living a life. Following your instructions I have made 10 pairs of knickers today.............panties in USEnglish. It was as simple, and as dull as you said!

ReplyDeleteThis outfit looks great! You're making me want a floral skirt!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see that you are posting again. You look really cute in your outfit.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that you get a permanent job soon. Good luck on those interviews.

That's a nice outfit. I sense that things are looking up! I agree that the no-drama-mama scene is great!
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit. Good luck with the job.
ReplyDeleteFemale drama is the worst. Your outfit is nice and you look great.
ReplyDeleteGood luck to you! Hope this turns out well.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your job interview. Keeping my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed. Thanks for your post on Liana's blog; it will be interesting to see what happens to SG. I am so glad to see you back posting and sewing.
ReplyDeleteI feel a little bit stupid asking you this as you've lived here far longer than me, but have you ever been to Jay's Fabric Store in South Pasadena? They have nearly everthing under the sun and I feel guilty that I'm such a lousy seamstress with even less imagination. A creative person would go nuts in there.
ReplyDeleteI'd be really interested in an internet fabric-shopping post too. My fabric choices where I live are very limited.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the job-hunting :-)
