I had another interview at UM Hospital where I had already started at a doctor's office in April, this time it was for another doctor's office on the floor above. This was for June, two months after I had started my new job, but since it was only part time for two days of the week, I thought I would try something else as well. I was already working at Publix and now this new hospital job, I was thinking I could manage three, but they had asked me for three days of the week and at that time I wasn't able to have Publix only on weekends, so I turned it down. Luckily it was the right choice, since my current hospital employer increased my days to three days a week and a raise. Then again I was asked to do four days and another raise, at that point I was already working at another Publix and could give them only weekends. I was transferred since I got married and they don't allow marriages in the same department, their loss since we actually work amazing together, the fastest ones there.

It was April of last year when I was only working for Publix and a family friend who was working at UM Hospital informed me that one of the doctor's office she was working in was looking to hire someone and I was eager to set up an interview. This was a private billing office for a psychiatrist at this hospital, a bit far from my home, but thought I would give it a shot, since I had worked for an orthopedic office dealing with insurance companies and authorizations. I had emailed the office manager and had set up the interview for a weekday I was off at about 10am, which was a mistake given the amount of traffic I encountered on the way there, took me about an hour to get there.

Pencil skirt from Goodwill, peplum top from Rainbow, booties from Sears and handbag from DD's Discount.

Multi-strand pearl necklace from Miss A, pearl earrings were a gift, Zales engagement ring and white watch was an Amazon gift from my then fiance.

Thevinterview went well and I was called to start a training day sooner than expected, since I already had my Publix schedule. I went on a Tuesday where I had to close with my shift starting at 5pm, so I had the morning and early afternoon available for the training. I put on some of the scrubs I had from the orthopedic job, but since it had been a while, they were tight. As before I had dropped way too much and was on my way to gaining a healthy weight back. It went pretty great and it is the job I continue to do now along with some added responsibilities, which is better for my resume when searching for this kind of employment in North Carolina when we move. The scrubs I buy are from DD's Discount, the pearl necklace from Miss A and earrings from Forever 21.

I am writing this as the rain and wind begin here from hurricane Irma and the electricity has been flickering, we will get the worst of it starting tonight and tomorrow, luckily we are no longer in the cone, but we will still get hit with floods for sure. For now this will be my last post until this passes, maybe Monday, let's see if work will resume this day or not. This was during December of last year and I had gone shopping for some new plaid shirts, since I had really liked my blue one, luckily there were still some options left. Again I paired plaid with a pencil skirt, but went for a light colored skirt, I felt it looked better with this plaid top. I was still cooler weather and I was still able to wear my booties.

He had gotten so many of these, I used them as Christmas gifts for so many people and the rest were given to my mother to give away in Nicaragua, along with hundreds of pens, backpacks and shopping totes

 

 

Another casual Friday in the fall, this for the month of November last year, just before my engagement ring arrived by mail from Zales. This was one of the newer tops I had bought and wanted to pair it again with my pencil skirt and booties for work, since plaid is a favorite for fall. This was also just a few days before Thanksgiving.

Plaid shirt from Rainbow, one of many that I bought from there, pencil skirt bought brand new at Goodwill years ago, blazer from Rainbow as well, booties from Sears and red Kenneth Cole handbag from Ross.

Blue necklace and earrings from Forever 21, middle promise ring from Walmart with other rings from Ross, watch from Target, new gold bangle was a birthday gift from Express.

Other wrist had a stainless steal bracelet that was a gift, pearl and blue bracelet from Miss A.

For another casual Friday at work, I went with a button up jean shirt paired with a pencil skirt to dress it up and make it more professional. This was back when I was still thinner, now that I've gained some weight, healthy weight, the skirt doesn't quite fit me the way it does in these pictures. I take advantage that the weather is not as hot and I wear what I can for fall.

This was in October and I had my fall and Halloween decorations up as you can see and this time we had more furniture to fill the living room like a dinning table and a sofa. The jean shirt is from Target, the pencil skirt I had bought brand new at Goodwill years ago and booties from Sears.

My favorite necklace from Forever 21, Miss A earrings that are dead now, wood bracelet from Nicaragua, stainless steel bracelet was a gift and pearl bracelet also from Miss A.

On the other wrist I was wearing my Target watch and a blue bracelet from Miss A...yes I do love stuff from that site, I've bought new beauty products from there, which I am in love with and will post on them in the coming future. shopmissa.com

I know it has been a long time since I've posted anything, more than a year, a lot has happened and changed over that time period. I moved, got a job at an orthopedic office, then a new job at UM Hospital, got married and now planning a move to North Carolina. I've worn a lot of outfits in this past year worth posting about, but haven't had the time to post anything, here are just a few outfits I plan to post about soon.

I had asked my cousin to bring one of my suitcases I had left in NY since she was coming down to Miami. Among the things in that suitcase was this pencil skirt, which for some reason I never found the last time I was in upstate NY to bring some of my things, but luckily here it was. This was my first pencil skirt and it was a very high waisted one that used to fit tight on me, but of course now it's kind of loose like everything else, but since my hips stay the same no matter how thin I get, it was doable. I paired it with my chevron printed top I had only worn once before and it worked out well.

Chevron top from Macy's worn to work for Macy's, pencil skirt was bought many years ago, cardigan from H&M and sandals from Rainbow.

Earrings from New York and Company, ring from Beya, watch from mini in the box, pearl bracelets from Miss A and stainless steel bracelet was a gift.
