NANOWRIOMO

I don't think I told many of my blog friends, but this month I participted in the annual National Novel Writting Month. I completed a novel of 50,102 words in less than a month. Part of my major is English and I was ecited to take on this challenge, but honestly I did not know what I was getting in to! It was hard work and there were times I wished I had not started such a crazy adventure, but now that I am done I am so glad I did it. I wrote a novel. It may not be a best seller, but it was about something I love. A girl who is addicted to shopping, fashion blogs and who is simply trying to find love. I hope to edit it and work on getting it published just for fun. I even found a website where you can publish your own work. I am really encouraged by the fact I was able to finish. I just wanted to encourage everyone else to consider trying it next year. It's not easy, but it is definately an accomplishment you will be proud of once your done. Now that I am done I will be able to focus more on my blog....sorry I have been gone so much lately!! I start work Monday, so you will be seeing businessy outfits very soon :) ~Kendra~

Thanks for all the congrats! ~Kendra~

Job Update

So, I found out yesterday that I got the job I interviewed for last week. I am so incredibly excited!!!! This is just the kind of job I was looking for. I get to work with people in an office enviroment wearing businessy clothes and learning a whole lot of new things. I am going to be a Career Counselor for student about to graduate college with technical degrees. Basically I will help them refine their interview skills, prepare their resumes, find externships and places for them to apply. It combines my love of recruiting with my passion for helping people. I can not wait to get started!!! :) Once I do I will be back to regular outfit posting. Until then I am taking advantage of jeans and hoodies since it is finally getting cold her in the Dallas area. ~Kendra~

Here's to hoping

Well, finding the perfect post college job is proving to be very difficult....hopefully it will work out soon enough. With about a month till graduation I am shocked that I am not totally freaking out yet. Anyways, today I have to hold it together, because I have two job interviews. I decided to go more conservative than ussual, maybe that's the trick to scoring the killer job....we will see :)

XOXO Gossip Girl

I did not have any big plans for Halloween, but they did ask us to dress up at work, so I was happy I got to find a costume. I thought about what I wanted to be and knew I wanted to go with something that would cost next to nothing, so I decided to be Blair Waldorf from Gossip Girl and the only thing I had to buy was a plaid, pleated school girl skirt, which I scored at half price day at Goodwill :) This was the inspiration for my costume:

Here's What I Wore:
Red Headband-$2 at Family Dollar
Red Cardi-$2 at Goodwill
Blazer-gifted from BF (From Charolette Rouse)
White Belt-$1 thrifted
Necklace-25cents at Garage sale
Plaid skirt-$2 at Goodwill
Black tights-free from C-store
Black flats-$6 at Cato
Purse-$9 at Walmart
.
My outfit came pretty close to the actual outfit. I decided to not wear a button down underneath, because it was simply too thick and hot that way. I also decided to go with black tights, because I wasn't feeling that well and I didn't wanna go to the store and get red tights. I love the purse I wore with this...I acctually got it a long time ago at Walmart and I rarely wear it, because it's one that has to really go with your outfit, since it's so loud. I really liked this outfit and wish I could've worn it longer. I went to work and lasted about an hour before I felt so sick I had to leave....I think I have the flu. I am feeling a little better today though. Hopefully I will be back to feeling great soon :) ~Kendra~

Style Obsessed Sunday

So since my boyfriend was sleeping all day (cus he works nights) I decided to keep myself entertained on this lazy sunday by organizing my Low Cost High Style Notebook, cleaning out pics that don't really inspire me anymore and also creating a few new notebooks. I started by laying out all my supplies and the new D.I.Y. notebook I just started working on.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
I made tabs for Clothing, Shoes, Jewelry, Headbands, Purses and Misc. Accessories in my DIY notebook and put in all the pages I have so far and it looks really good, but I definately have plenty of room for more DIY ideas.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
While cleaning out my L.C.H.S. notebook I realized I had tons of inspiration pics from Fab Finds Under $50 and I had plenty of unused notebooks, so I decided to make a notebook all about inspiration from Kimberly's blog. This is what the pages look like: (Below)
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
So I had a lot of fun looking at all the inspiration pics and magazine pages and thinking about all the posibilities within my closet :) So fun!!! ~Kendra~
