it's fashion week

Well haven't I just disappeared for the last month of summer. There is a reason, I swear. I spent most of August preparing my Boston apartment for me to move on outta there and move back home with my mom in New Jersey. It seems I got to really love Boston the most during my last few months living there. It's been a great home for four years, but going in between New Jersey/New York and Boston constantly has made me really antsy to find a stable, more permanent home. So for now- I'll be a visitor!

This past week was my training week for my new job as well. This is where I put the "appropriate work-wear" into practice. For a while, I have been trying to figure out exactly what a female photographer is supposed to wear. At work, our dress code is business casual. If I were going to be sitting in an office all day, I would absolutely wear skirts and some nice tops and would have had a blast trying on different shoes. Realistically though, my job entails me lugging around 100 lbs of equipment, running up and down steps, and standing all day to take pictures. If I were a guy, I'd wear some nice skinny slacks, button down shirts, and sweet shoes to maintain the dress code and still feel comfortable enough to move around a ton. I could just wear khakis and a button down shirt, but that just isn't me. My first day, I did wear a more traditional business casual look. As the week went on - I was able to feel out how lenient the place is with dress codes and got to play a bit more. I think I managed to look more like an adult and still maintained my own unique sense of style.


I didn't actually wear the heels to work--not did I really wear this outfit. I wore this out for fashion's night out though. And I love these pants.


I wore this with a flowy cardigan and some pointy black flats.. but i got lazy and didnt wanna wear them in the picture haha.


first day outfit. meh.


Here are some pictures of my Boston apartment before I had to leave it =[ I didn't get to post from there at all because I was spending so much time with Micah and didn't ever get a chance to really take pictures. For my first apartment - I think I did a good job decorating. I miss it a lot. This apartment was also featured on the Boston Globe- I managed to stuff 6 people in it for graduation weekend haha. good times.
