I have a job

I accepted an offer. I will be working for HP - more specifically I will be an ITO Svc Delivery Consultant IV in the the Outsourcing Services Global Delivery Department in the Technology Solutions Group Organization. I will actually be working at Weyeraeuser for HP. Basically I will be doing needs analysis for the Weyerhaeuser and then setting up training courses for them and the HP staff. It won't involve a lot of actual training and courseware development, mostly project management. I am scheduled to start around Aug 27th - depending on paperwork.

I went shopping yesterday and today trying to find work clothes since I only own one suit and a lot of casual clothes - I have nothing business casual! I have decided that I HATE shopping. I spent 4 hours yesterday and 2 today and I don't even have one complete outfit yet. Everything in the stores is 60's throwback right now and I hate it. Babydoll shirts and wild patterned everything. I feel like I am in an Austin Powers movie. I saw a girl today in a nylon psychedelic pattern dress in neon orange and green with furry green Ugg flip flops. Not my style.

Congratulations Robin!
I agree w/ your comments on style these days. And the pregnant look.. those tops are so 70's. I remember making "tent" tops and shorts w/ wild colors and stripes.... oooo
Suggestion..go to Ross. They are likely to have some of last years fashions and good deals to boot..
Love, mom

God bless Ross.

Robin, earlier in the season I was in the same state of fashion disgust as you...I am notoriously cheap when shopping, but I was so desperate that I started hitting Macy's and Dillard's in hopes of finding something that didn't look like like a scene from an Austin Powers movie...no luck. I was seriously ready to invest in a sewing maching and start dismantling some of my favorite clothes to make them into patterns so I could just make my own and be done with it...and then I went shopping at Ross with Mom. Ahh, sweet cheapness. And I don't have to look like I've been pregnant for even longer than I have! :D

PS--Congratulations on the new position! Hope it's awesome for you.
