exciting news

Blazer & Belt- Thrifted; Tank & Skirt- Gifted (from my Dad); Boots & Tights- Aldo; Ring- H&M; Nail Polish- Vintage by Revlon

 Life change....hmm in hindsight that may have been an excessive phrase to use (many of you thought I was engaged- I'm working on it but not quite yet!) but I have been known to be a drama queen after all! My good news is that I landed the job of my dreams.  It combines my degree in Social Work, my passion in women's rights and my love for fashion in one full-time package.  Starting next Monday I'll be working as the Program Coordinator for Dress for Success Ottawa (DFS). I've been volunteering with DFS as a Boutique Manager for over a year and will now be joining the team as the first employee! 

The mission statement of DFS is: "to promote the economic independence of disadvantaged women by providing professional attire and the career development tools to help them thrive in work and life."

{I just love this flouncy skirt that my Dad bought for me for Christmas.  Doesn't he have great taste!? I thrifted this blazer and although it's a bit big I liked the pattern and thought it was a fun addition to my wardrobe! My new position with DFS requires a business wardrobe so I won't be wearing bright tights to the office anytime soon.  Thought I should get the funky work outfits out of my system now!}

I will also be staying in my current position as Marketing & Social Media Coordinator with Lilac Lingerie on a part-time basis so my weeks will be busy.  That's where my New Year's Resolution comes in handy! I'm excited to start this new career chapter of my life and will keep you posted on how everything is going!
