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 was doing some Christmas shopping at dd's discount, which is my new favorite store that has pretty decent items for very favorable prices. This was the first time I went for Christmas shopping and boy was I surprised at how many gift ideas there were. This is the store I go for my scrubs and have found many for work as well as clothes, shoes and accessories for my niece and nephew. The necklace I'm wearing was made by me, the earrings are from Valsan, a store known here in Miami, Target watch and Miss A pearl bracelet.

This first one I found was the perfect style for my boss at the orthopedic office. As a 40 something year old woman who seems to have style, this screamed her name and I was right because she loved it and at the price of $11.99, even better.

This royal blue luggage style tote, I immediately fell in love with for myself, as I am a fan of blue. Not only was it the color and the style I fell in love with, but the price as well, how could you not for $11.99? It is now one that I use almost everyday now.

The black version, shown here with the side zippers closed was for a long time family friend.

I'm trying to start posting again and I am starting with the next post that I would've continued with. This was when I had landed a job at an orthopedic office last year in May. It was a second part time job other than Publix bakery that were Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays starting at 10am, so sometimes I would work at Publix very early and head to the other one at 9:30. I had also recently bought my first car, same day as the interview for this position.

The scrubs and the sneakers I got from my new favorite store, dd's discount.
