Those were the good old days... scanning the classified ads in the newspaper every day hoping to find a job, any job, to pay for university. I think my best story ever (yes, not just my best job searching story but probably just overall best story...) was the time I responded to an ad looking for 'salespeople'. I passed the interview (I think we all did...) and spent a day getting trained for my new potential career as a 'salesperson'.
I kid you not, we sold teddy bears and other novelty items out of the trunk of a car while keeping an eye out for police because this company didn't have a permit for the selling of said junk in the trunk of that car. Though I never got paid for my day of training, there are so many crazy stories that came out of the day, that I feel like I came out even in the exchange. Any time there is a lull in conversation, I can easily bust out any number of good stories from that day.
'Have I told you about the time I got training on how to sell $2 coin purses to old men in dive bars?'
True story.

So cute! Love that skirt!
Bahahaha! Oh man, don't we all love those ads for salespeople. You never know what you're in for, and it sounds like you were in for a grand time! ;)
Love the outfit!
I almost bought a cat shirt for you last week! Unfortunately there were two, one in adult size and one in toddler size. Danni won out.
I responded to one of those saleperson ads too, and went to the training. It turned out to be selling knives door-to-door. This was not ideal for a 16-year-old and luckily I wasn't too dumb to realize it!
Not to be creepy, but my absolute favorite outfit of yours also involved a cat tee and a skirt. It works on you!
I made myself a cone today in a restaurant and commented to my DH that I was NOT DQ ready!
Love the simple outfit of a tee and a skirt! Especially cat tees!

I also like your DQ story: "Peanuts." "Crushed or whole?" "Peanuts!" :) -- A
A- Bahaha... I totally forgot that story...
love your skirt and good luck on the job search

That tee shirt is so damn cute and is perfect for you, styled so lovely with the skirt and Merl necklace. I love that you worked for some sketchy company selling teddy bears out of a trunk hahahaha and DQ was always my DREAM job as a teen because I thought it would so wonderful to be around ice cream all day and eat treats.
bahaha - teddy bears out of a truck? You should pitch that idea to Bravo. You look adorable in that hat!
Super cute skirt - perfect amount of flare!

Haha, I had a job like that straight out of college - only there was no car, we had to lug a suitcase AND a gym bag with wheels along with us all day and try to sell shitty merchandise to people in shops and pubs. I lasted a whole week.
Anyways, you look super cute in this getup! I love the Merl necklace on you - did you pick it yourself, or did she decide that was the right one for you? My sister-in-law's name is Lena, so I wanna buy the Lena necklace for her as a wedding gift!
Gwen- Thanks for the comment. I can't believe you lasted a week with a suitcase full of shitty crap... Haha. Brutal.
I chose the necklace to wear from Merl's stash when she visited and when she left, she left it behind for me:) So sweet eh?
Sorry for comment 2 but I just had to respond to this post. I did the same type thing through college- had a ton of temp jobs. One of them was a 12 hr shift SEVEN days a week printing out bumper stickers. Another job I wrote about here (http://www.feverthrift.com/2012/09/temp.html) where I got to put socks on an old man.
As always, your outfit's great :)
that skirt is amazing! digging your blog :)
