What a day...

What a day, what a day.

I am currently still looking for an assistant. I have been scheduling 4 to 5 interviews per day. It's very exhausting work, let me tell ya! Anyway, of my four people scheduled today, the two scheduled before lunch were no-shows. No call, no e-mail, no show. It's disappointing after putting in so much work to comb resumes, conduct pre-screen phone interviews, and schedule people.

Anyway, by lunchtime I was frustrated to say the least. So I headed to the fashion paradise that is Americana at Brand. How lucky am I that I'm close enough to go here at lunch? It's relaxing and breaks up the day for me. Of course, I headed over to J Crew. I really wanted to look for a dress for my husband's high school reunion (online purchases did not pan out in the least!) but of course I ended up browsing the sale racks.

I did walk away with the Fleurette Pencil Skirt for $21 and then buckled and bought the Jackie in Burnished Olive (I've been looking for that sweater in my size forever!). The sale racks here were pretty picked over but I'll head to my other B&M this weekend to take an in-depth gander at the new arrivals!

Oh yeah, and to find a dress for the reunion...hmph.

If any of you out there have some suggestions, I am all for them! FYI the reunion is taking place at a beach resort in Florida and is considered "dressy casual". No cocktail dresses, much to my chagrin! Rules are: no shorts, no jeans, no jackets, no ties...which is not helpful to us girls at all.

Here's what I bought that did not work out:

I'm bummed! Anyway, I'll be doing some seriously scrambling this weekend so hopefully I'll come up with something.
