P is for Parisian and Promotion

Two things I love...

I picked these two items up at the Estate Sale prior to leaving for that great state of Ohio.

This hat is a-mazing, (not for the 100 degree weather we are currently having) it will be a staple in my fall/winter 2010 wardrobe.

The detail is great...the brim ends on the side with the bow--giving it an uber sassy look!

I also acquired in its original packaging...

Who doesn't love a vintage gold sequined head band??

Now...my outfit for my first official day in my new position, I tried to take a page out of ClairesLA blog...

The dress...navy blue, Forever 21, $22.50, very Twiggy-esque

Great bow detail on the front...

And the accessories...

Couple of bangles, dainty hoops with small bead detail, and my new favorite necklace (thanks Babs).

For just a bit more drama, I'll be rocking the Patron Saint bracelet, with a new heart charm that was so tarnished the lady practically gave it to me. The wonders of jewelry cleaning! And a fab large ring for my index finger.

And to complete the look: A grey headband and Ruby Slipper Red nails.

First order of business: Surprise Starbucks for BCF and I to toast to our new jobs...and...

Cards congratulating the gals on their promotions and a fantastic mix CD for the store. We are very peculiar about our music.

While helping the hubs search for jobs, I came across one that had a very interesting title. I'm thinking about changing my job title to this all together:

"Director of Continuous Organizational Effectiveness"

Doesn't it just roll off the tongue ever so nice?
