Today is the moment of truth! And by that I just mean I'll be opening the bar for the first time by myself (during the work week) and I'm slightly terrified. In my 6 years at this bar I've never worked on a Tuesday. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but all of the prices are different and it's normally really dead. I'm kind of nervous honestly. I'll work 3:45pm til 12am, and that doesn't include driving to and from. Then I'll work 3:45pm til 2:30am tomorrow (and Friday and Saturday!) Ahh! This is the week I have not been looking forward to! haha Luckily Mike will be there to help keep things under control and keep me company, too. I'm looking forward to 3am Saturday night. We're hopping in the car with my parents and Toby to head down to the beach for the week. Mike and I plan on sleeping most of the way down... I have a feeling that won't work quite as we hope!
Nothing too special going on with this outfit, but I managed to wear it on the rare day it felt like Fall here in Nashville. The clouds blanketed the sun for most of the day and there was an oh so nice breeze. All of the pieces in this outfit are pretty old honestly, less the gold collar necklace. It's hard to see in the photos and I only now realized I didn't get a better close up. You can see it here! It's a really really pretty statement piece. This clutch was a 15 cent Goodwill Outlet score from back in the day.
those sound like the longest most mind-numbing shifts anyone could work, i hope it's not too dead and there's at least some interesting enough people to make the time pass. on the upside, i look forward to your tweets about the douche bags who come in.
ReplyDeletehaha i'm so glad someone looks forward to those inevitable tweets! ;P
DeleteThat clutch is so great!
ReplyDeleteEep, sounds like a really busy couple of days! I'm wishing you not many customers, but big tippers. I hope it all goes well xo
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your heavy work week! It will make the beach that much sweeter :)
ReplyDeleteAhhh good luck! I've got two 6-day weeks in a row coming up at work, not looking forward to it! At least more hours means more money though I guess. :)
ReplyDeleteFaye x

DeleteLove this outfit, the belt goes well with dress :) x
ReplyDeleteLove the clutch! I used to have a second job (part time) at Goodwill, and there is nothing like getting a fabulous score from there!
ReplyDeleteBest of luck {not that you'll need it!}

Those dimples - they are really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe Goodwill Outlet store in Nashville is one of my favorite places to shop! I'm there much too often if I'm being honest. I love the outfit and wish you all of the good luck with work!
ReplyDeletei always forget to bring gloves though! haha i used to think those people with the gloves in the outlet were crazy but man, they are on the money! it's a grimey goldmine! ;)
DeleteI love this whole look! http://turquoiseandtangerine.blogspot.com/

I used to do bar work - you'll be fine!Just keep smiling. It's hard to be rude to someone who is smiling.
ReplyDeletesuch great advice, lady! ;)
Deletewill you still be at the porter flea?! Honeybean is one of the reasons I'm going! :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! <3
yes we will! we'll be there, don't worry! hope you stop by and say hello!
DeleteOh gosh, that shift sounds awful. I still to a bit of retail work to supplement my photography/design income and some days it really is awful. I can't even imagine adding alcohol to the rude customer mix! The key is to just 'woosaaa' your way through it...even if you want to hit someone.
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit - the colour palette is gorgeous and the sage suits your hair beautifully. Love the clutch, too! x
Such lovely colours - the slight peek at the tattoo looks great as well!
