Awkward and Awesome: I'm Feeling Good...This is The Best Week of My Life

AWKWARD

-Don't rude people bother you?

-Being stuck in the house on a Friday doing homework. What type of crap is that?

-DMV-the Department of Motor Vehicles. I went to get my license renewed this week and they told me that I had to have a birth certificate to prove that I'm a US citizen. C'mon....are you serious. Like WTF!? Doesn't my 'soon to expire' license do a good enough job of proving that I'm a freaking resident. That's a load of bull.

-Going back to DMV after a 3 day long search for my birth certificate only for them to tell me that my license renewal would be $32! Confuse me...WHAT!? Since when...who approved this...for WHHYY? I remember when things like this used to be free. My goodness, by the time I have kids old enough to drive, there's gonna be an entry fee just to get into the damn DMV!

 How do you feel about the DMV in your hometown?

 

-Men. And how they are sometimes, most times more moody than us. Ugghhh, the nerve of them to call us emotional.

Tattoos being unacceptable within the work environment. (Extensive details to follow in a later post)

AWESOME

-Having an interview on Monday. Getting a call back on Tuesday. Signing my new contract on Wednesday. This has to be thee best week of my life. God is soooo good.

-My bestie is in town. Ahhhhhh....Can't wait for a shopping spree! Yayyy!!!

-Crackle nail polish is the ish. How many of you agree? I keep looking down at my nails in complete awe of the added effect of the 'crackle'!

-Being featured on NoGuiltFashion for Danie's What They Wore Wednesday segment. Check out how we rocked our rompers and jumpsuits.

-And theeennnn finding out that my post was featured on this week's Links a la Mode roundup over at IFB. I'm hella excited:

Style is what you make it. We are all different and beautiful in our own ways. Many of us have different techniques to display how we want to present ourselves. Some people are very "structured" "prim and proper" and live by a color scheme while others go wild with mixing patterns and have the "unpolished" and "don't care" look. It's all about where you get your inspiration from and your personality in general.

Here are some classic quotes on style:

• "Fashion fades, style is eternal." -YSL
• "Fashion is not something that exist only in dresses. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening." -Coco Chanel
• "'Style' is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style." -John Fairchild
