NWR: I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey gals,
I'm so excited, I've been searching for a job since OCTOBER! (I've been freelancing and doing catering and retail...anything I can get my hands on really.)

But I got a great job as a manager at a small museum in my city.  FINALLY.

LOL now I need to go shopping. I've um...become curvier since my last job...sitting on a sofa all day eating bon-bons will do that. :)

So I'm going to hit some less expensive shops and grab a few basics. Woo Hoo fun shopping weekend!

  • Congrats! That's wonderful news.

    Not sure how dressy you need to go, but Old Navy has some amazing deals on basics right now. I was there yesterday, and clearance items are an extra 50% off. They also have some great cardigans right now. Happy shopping!
  • Congrats!!!!! I always hit up the clearance section at department stores for my work clothes - when I got this job in January my FMIL and I went to Belk and spent $120 on 15 pieces for work!! It was PERFECT! Sometimes they'll even have things where it's like an extra 50% off of clearance and everything - so check it out! Congrats!
  • Old navy is perfect.  It isn't a dressy job.  Just dress pants skirts, blouses, I can probably get away with nice solid colored t-shirts.  No one wears a suit unless there is a board meeting.

    I'm going to check out Ann Taylor Loft, Dress Barn, Gap Outlet, Macys, etc and look for sales racks.

    Like I said, I just need versatile taylored basics that I can throw on every day.

    Check the Macy's clearance racks, you'd be surprised at what you can buy right now. Really great prices.

    And Congrats on the job! My husband has been out of work for over 2 years.
  • Congrats on the job!
