New Year, Perhaps a New Me?

So, I need to apologize for the hiatus. Life got in the way, and life became more interesting, and I lost interest in my blog. Go figure. But, I have officially graduated college (won't walk till the spring - college only does it once a year), and did everything I hoped for. That's right, I made a 3.88 cumulative GPA and am therefore graduating Magna Cum Laude (truthfully I wanted Summa Cum Laude, but this is ok too).

Right now I'm in the process of finding a job, and hopefully a career. I also started dating a great guy - got to kiss him on New Years too - and am starting to wonder where my life went. Sadly I'm in a bit of an artistic rut. It's like the world is without inspiration! Granted I have been sewing some stuff - just finished a skirt about an hour ago, actually. My little sis got a nifty apron for Christmas and I made my older sis a set of monogrammed napkins (designed the monograms and everything).

Speaking of skirts and the like, my wardrobe has begun to change. Starting with a good cleaning. Walk in closets are only good if you can walk into them. I'm also now the owner of a lovely "big girl" suit from Ann Taylor. My capstone class thought I was nuts for feeling a suit was appropriate for the fashion world, but I work with furs at the moment and hope to work in a corporate environment later, suits are very much smiled upon there. I also bought a cherry red romper today. It can double as a regular shirt, and once it gets warmer I plan on wearing it to death.

Also - my shoe collection has grown quite a bit in the last month. No, I'm not complaining, merely stating a fact.

These were a Christmas present from my baby sis!

These came about due to wearing out the heels on all my other black heels.

New Years' Eve... Surprisingly comfy too.

Birthday gift from my godmother.

Sadly I'm not allowed to wear these yet, they're for my big sis' wedding.

My closet isn't the only thing that has gotten a cleaning overhaul this past week. My desk is now capable of housing my sewing machine, computer and iPad (my Christmas gift from my dad - yes he is that awesome!) all at once. It's kind of epic... so is the pile of papers/garbage that I need to take out because of it.

I hope I might get back in the swing of writing this blog now that I have nearly too much time on my hands. Might have to try doing some "what I wore" pictures, who knows - I've joined Pinterest, perhaps Lookbook is next.

Happy New Year's!!!
