I received many presents for my birthday this Monday and already started planning them for my work outfits, the top and the earrings were some of them. The top was an extra small, but looked bigger and definitely fit me and since it was a high collar and a print, no necklace was needed, just bold earrings to complete the look. I went with these earrings from the bunch, since it had pink to go with the top.

Macy's top for Macy's work day and pants from Express. Another associate actually commented that she liked my top as I was leaving and I let her know it was Macy's.

For this Macy's work day I put on a jewelry combination I hadn't done before and a necklace I hadn't wot to work. I wore some new Express pants that fit great on the waist, but we're too long and I didn't have a stapler to temporarily hem them. I was going to take pictures of my full outfit when I got back from work, but that became impossible when I got out at 1pm and my bus didn't come until 2:36pm, it poured relentlessly, which started when I was waiting for my first bus, started again while on the second bus, I had to stop at a store to refill my bus card and wait for the bus again, started pouring again while I was waiting under just an umbrella for a little over 30 minutes, I had to walk back to the house with very wet pants and after 5pm. This all happened yesterday and I will probably continue to get wet tomorrow, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I just hope I don't get sick. My earrings are from Express, necklace is from Madrag and lace top was a gift.

Since I don't have any more shots of that outfit, thought I'd show some outfits I took pictures of from stores. The following two are dresses from Macy's I thought were really nice, both from INC.

I walked into Kmart with my aunt and grandparents last week after they picked me up from work on another raining day and saw this near the entrance, I couldn't help but think of the movie clueless. I took a picture and sent it to my friend and she totally agreed, very clueless.

I wore Express pants, black ruffle top was a gift and sandals, which are not shown are from Rainbow.

Headband from Scünci, earrings were a gift, necklace was also a gift. As I've mentioned before, my friend gets me many things from garage sales.

Watch from Target, silver bracelet was bought in Mexico and bangle from Henri Bendel.

I had done my nails the day before, so it just happened to match with the jewelry, I used my new polish from Revlon Parfumerie in surf spray and fresh linen.

This is the first time I have been able to take full outfit pictures of my workwear and I actually took them after work. Since Macy's is all black, that's what I've been mostly wearing. I had washed my hair the night before and when I woke up at 5:30am the next day, it was still semi wet, I brushed it and flat ironed it as much as a I could, but it turned it a frizzball on my way to work. I ended up just flipping it up and flat ironed it when I got back. It was not only a bad hair day, but it was one bad thing after another, I first missed my first bus, which made me miss my second bus, didn't have time to eat breakfast or bring any snacks with me, so I was hungry all morning, that there put me in a bad mood, then I had to leave work early to make it back to my potential second job to fill out new employee paperwork and again missed my bus and I desperately needed to go to the bathroom. The day did get better as I was told I could go at any time that day, so I fixed my hair and used the bathroom before heading to Publix, finished the paperwork and bought some much needed food.

This past weekend we had two birthdays and one of them was the friend that always gives me things like clothes and jewelry. She gave me a bunch of new things and one of them was this black peplum top, glad I was able to get another black top for work worn with black Express pants.

This was the first time I wore sandals to work, apparently it's appropriate for Macy's. Sandals from Carrion, store in Nicaragua.

I had left with a new pair of dangly earrings on, but felt they were too much with the necklace for work, so I took them off. Wore my Saks Fifth Avenue necklace, Guess watch and both bracelets from Henri Bendel.

Yesterday I had an interview at Macy's, which I had scheduled when they sent me an email. I had applied on Sunday, same day I arrived in Miami on the red eye with no sleep and in the store, while there I encountered a really nice employee who was very helpful and assured me that I already had the job along with another employee that said the same and in fact after doing the interview, I got the job.

I wore a black ruffled top that was a gift, Express pants, a blazer my friend just gave me on Sunday when I arrived and Payless flats.

The necklace and the earrings were borrowed from my friend and my temporary roommate.

A Guess watch, faux pearl bracelet from Zetram Designs and a stainless steel bracelet.

Wore a red, semi-shimmery tank from Express I hadn't worn in months, my David Bitton jeans and my new omega necklace, but this time without a pendant.

My usual gold Guess watch, yellow bangles gift from a friend and first time wearing these pearl bangles from my mother.

Well here's an update on the Miami trip, it's no longer happening, but I'm headed back to New York. More details soon.

It was a simple Sunday around town and going to my dad's aunt's house, so I put on pretty make up and added a bow in my hair.

Red glittery tank from Express, Bill Blass Buffalo jeans from Ross, wing earrings made by me, Zetram Designs and hair bow from a store in Nicaragua.

I had two interviews scheduled for the same day in two different cities, one at The Limited in Yonkers and the other at Bouchon Bakery in NYC.

Cardigan from H&M, pants from Express, booties from Payless.

Hung out at The Shops at Columbus Circle again.
