New Job, New Bracelet, New Post!!

First off all, THANK YOU, BRETT aka Silvergirl, for the awesome bracelet!! In case you are just joining us, I entered a giveaway at Brett's site and won a beautiful bracelet!! See?


AND it just happened to match what I wore today on the first day of my new job!! The bracelet had all the colors that I had planned to wear today.
 Cardigan: JCrew, Goodwill
Striped Shirt: JCrew, JCrew outlet
Scarf: Charming Charlie
Pants: Liz Claiborne, Liz outlet

So today was the first day at the new job. It was good. I'm in information overload, but in a good way. I really like everyone there. And I can do this. I just have to learn a new way of doing things and a new computer system. I mean, it's still insurance, right? It's not like the terms and their definitions have changed.

I'll be posting at night, now, though. I'm going to be pretty busy learning the new ropes so I may get behind on posting and reading and replying. But I'll still be thinking about you guys!!

There's only one downside to this job. Lise isn't there. :(

    I would never dream of pairing the scarf with the stripes. I *almost* put a belt with my cardigan today, but chickened out. I'm thrilled you love your new job! You're glowing in that pic!

    It stinks leaving friends, but at least you're not leaving the city you live in so you can spend time together outside of work.

    I love the pattern mixing in this outfit! You look fantastic and this is a GREAT first day outfit!!! I'm so glad you like your new job!

    Oh and Missy, the only reason that cardigan works with the navy is because of the scarf!

    Ohhh! I love that bracelet! The colors are so pretty. Brett said it was pink, but the original picture didn't show pink on my monitor.
    You look great - almost like a "first day of school" picture, wasn't it?
    Lise, we miss you, too. Can't wait to see what tomorrow's dress up pic will be for your niece's blog.

    first off - break a leg! and that bracelet is so pretty with your coloring! woo-hoo!

    man, you just pull off those put-together easy profesh but the opposite of stuffy with amazing hair looks like no one's business. god, i never look like that. my neighbor's daughter has very similar hair to your - awesome color, great cut and volume with gorgeous wave. it just kicks every look up a notch!

    i always think of hers/yours as 'the perfect hair'. hee hee - but it's true! have a great time at your new gig, steph
