Is this EVER okay in an interview??

Today during my semi-routine trip to Starbucks, I was lucky enough to sit next to a job interview - I promptly put my headphones on, pretending not to eavesdrop.

Not only did I learn this guy (who's kinda hot, not gonna lie) would be working part time for close to minimum wage at some software company and that the interviewer wants to know where he sees himself in two years, but that also he made a very big fashion no-no:

He. Wore. Shorts.

Okay, I get it. It's hot outside.  The interview seems casual (I mean it's taking place at Starbucks for latte's sake), and the interviewer is wearing jeans.  But he's also wearing nice jeans that reach all the way to his ankles, and paired them with a button down shirt.

And the guy wanting the job is wearing shorts. And twitching his leg.

Lipstick and Bananas

Bananas are so hard to buy.  If you get the green ones, you have to wait a few days to eat them (and I have no patience when it comes to food). If you get the yellow ones, you have a day to eat ALL of them before they're a brown disgusting mush.  So the bought to eaten ratio of bananas ends up being 5:1.

That's how I am with lipstick. Lipstick, lip gloss, lip stain... I always end up hating whatever I get.  When will I learn that no matter how many different brands and colors I try, I hate the feel of lipstick and will stick to my traditional strawberry Chapstick?

Not yet, apparently. I FINALLY found a lipstick that I actually like! The color I picked is not too pink, not too red, and it doesn't make me look like a hooker.  It doesn't dry out my lips or feel sticky or clump at the side of my mouth.  And the best part?? It was $1.99 at Walgreens.  BAM!

Score one point for Wet N Wild!  They also carry my favorite nail polish, also $1.99.

Best friends tell you you're fat.

Ever watch that show where the super rich kid is addicted to shopping, and daddy finally takes away the credit card while the football player boyfriend sits her down in a shopping intervention? She cries and cries, sells her beloved name brands to Plato's Closet, then hates her parents and boyfriend for ruining her life?  I don't remember the name of it, but I should be on it.  Minus the super rich part. And daddy's credit card. And football player boyfriend. 

Every now and then, I need my friends to tell me NOT to buy something!  If I didn't have them acting as my willpower, my closet would be overflowing with items I wore once, and my bank account would be emptier than the Walmart toy aisle the day after Christmas.  

So yesterday, during my semi-weekly treasure hunt at TJ Maxx, I found this dress: 

I was looking for something mixed with leather, and this Michael Kors dress has leather sleeves. It's $60 (down from $195), and I'm in LOVE!  But I had that gut feeling that this wasn't a good purchase, and I needed to be talked out of it.  So I texted my best friend Jaime the picture, and this is what she said: 

She was right, I WAS just in the mood to buy something. But look how pretty it is!!!!  A few hours later, I realized how much I miss the dress and needed more discipline: 

Sometimes you just need your best friend to tell you that yes, it DOES make your ass/stomach/arms/legs/earlobes look fat!  Even if it doesn't.  Besides, I'm waiting anxiously for these pants to come to Target Sept. 9: 

That'll curb my leather craving for a little while.  Until I go shopping in Chicago with my aunt over Thanksgiving, anyway. ;)
