Where Are You, Winter?

January 18, 2016 by Nikki 6 Comments

Where Are You, Winter? | NCsquared Life

Where are you, winter? There was a week or so here in North Carolina where the temperatures dropped to seasonally appropriate levels but then it warmed back up. As much as I’d like to be wearing sweaters and scarves in January, I took advantage of  the warm up to wear this cute blazer. I don’t wear it very often because I’m still figuring out what colors I like pairing it with, but this blouse was definitely made for it, with all those cute colors and patterns. In full disclosure, before I left I for work, I unrolled my jeans and wore them long. I think both ways looks great, but unrolled felt better for the office. Next time, I’ll wear the top and blazer with a cute pair of trousers.

So, I see now that you barely notice the necklace I paired with the shirt, so next time, I’ll skip the necklace altogether. Also, straight hair don’t care. I really need a haircut!

Back to Work

Back to Work | NCsquared Life

Guess who’s working again? This girl! I mentioned in my last post that my friend helped me get a part-time job as the office manager of a women’s rights organization, which means I’m back in my pencil skirts. I’m not going to lie, it feels awesome to be back at work and to be all productive. I also felt really pretty leaving the house even though it was all gray and rainy, but Nick said I looked great and he was right.

The best thing is the organization understands that I’m still looking for something more permanent and full-time in my field (public health) so I plan to keep searching and interviewing for my dream job. But, in the meantime, I get to wear my pretty clothes and do awesome work with some really cool women!
