Shopping for work clothes, ugh! :(

I'll be joining the nine to five working world on Monday. Let me just say that I am not looking forward to it. I have not worked in an office for five years and needless to say, I have nothing to wear. Being that I have yet to get a paycheck, I need a few inexpensive pieces to get me through until I actually get paid. So, I will be going to F21 today. I'm a bit excited though, because I get to go to the huge new one they just built near my house in the Cerritos Mall. Check it out:

So here are some of the things that I was thinking of getting:

$24.80

$24.80

$22.80

$9.80

$18.90

$3.80

$8.80

So that's all I've got so far. There were so many pieces that I came across browsing on there right now, but none that were office appropriate which sucks. I am training someone to take over the store during the day for me right now so I also just wanted everyone to know that it'll be business as usual with the store.

  1. I love all your choices Jen. These are some great work pieces. They are cute enought to rock outside of work too. It's so funny,today I posted one of my work outfits. Buying work clothes can become addictive and before you know it you'll have a closet full of work clothes and nothing to wear for Saturday nights, lol.

  2. I am sad you have to go back to work! :(
    Glad you found work so quickly though! You are blessed girl! A lot of people have been looking a REALLY long time...

    If I lived close I wouldn't mind manning the store during the day... I wouldn't have a check either! LOL!

    Be blessed in ALL your efforts! You deserve it!

  8. These are F21 pieces?! So professional!!! Also, congrats on getting a job, even if it's begrudgingly; it's quite an accomplishment to even get a phone call in this economy.
