First Day

I will not be writing about my (very, very part-time) job here in blog-land, but I did want to let you all know that I had my first day today, complete with a first day self-portrait.  Please ignore our disgusting mirror.

And yes, I have had this outfit picked out for weeks.  The shirt and the skirt were birthday presents from my awesome grandmother-in-law (who, at 85, is much more chic than I can ever hope to be).  The shoes are $10 oldies but goodies from Payless, and the earrings are ones that my friend Eleanor brought me from Italy.  I have also, at long last, retired my beloved bright red back-pack in favor of a slightly more adult brown leather messenger-ish bag (that I've actually had for ages).  Since I did, however, hear some loud whispers to the tune of "she's so tiny" while I was handing out textbooks, I will DEFINITELY be wearing heels for parents' night.  Just to ensure them that I am not, in fact, a fourteen year-old.  Ahem.

Anyways, I'm not going to write anything else about The Job, but just know that I am already both excited and nervous about it, and that at the end of my first day, I had a smile on my face.  Oh, and this:

And with that, friends, it is officially fall.  Giveaway winner will be announced tomorrow.
