We Only Work When We Need The Money

I snapped these pictures while at the work the past couple of days. I did have a theory that my student manager was being vindictive in some way for imagined slights by scheduling me as the last worker before Spring Break and the first one after, but reason and my friends have convinced me otherwise. Well, on the first day back I wore this dress (which was thrifted over Spring Break) and thought it would work well against the mixed candies--yum!mixed, bulk, candytheclotheshorse, personal, style, fashion, daily, outfit, bright, print, dress, thrifted
And I forget who asked me (sorry!) and I remember I did not respond (again, sorry!) if I ever carried bags--I do! I also usually have a jacket or coat, but I don't usually include them in the pictures. This is one of my most commonly used bags, since it is neutral and fits my school books. It's from Old Navy several years ago.theclotheshorse, personal, style, fashion, daily, outfit, white, dress, vintagegold, tights

I somehow really like the outfit with the white dress - it's so downright simple but incredibly cute!

chrissy said...

Love the white dress. It's awesome! So elegant and sophisicated! Nice length too!

deexdeexdreamer said...

The outfit is sublime, but i was momentarily distracted by first the pick-n-mix and then the new nylon! Pant, drool + darn UK release dates :(

annah said...

i LOVE the second outfit so much.
you always dress so wonderfully!!


and- i like the idea of butterflies being pinned down, because it preserves their beauty.
I must have a sadistic streak- i love bird cages and the idea of running around with a butterfly net...
hmmm..

I love the dress in the second picture... so cute.

Amelia said...

I love the first dress. It looks great with the navy tights and sash at the waist. I wish I had such good luck thrifting. Any tips on how to find great stuff?

I love the trim on the second dress, the belt and the shoes. Ooh, Nylon. What magazines do you read?

Fenke said...

a candy store is such a great place for a photoshoot...

Molly :] said...

The dress does look cool with the sweets! And i love your velvet pumps :)
Oh yes.. i was reading your post about glasses too- and i too am a glasses advocate, as i wear them myself and i wish more girls would be confident enough to wear them and i think its great that the fashion world is highlighting is as a trend.

Love the blog, as always. :) x

Caroline said...

these photos are adorable! keep it up.
ps- i can't wait to get home and get my Nylon. everyones been talking about it.

Katie Rosemary said...

Love both dresses... and the gold tights (why can't I find any?!)
My words if I worked where you do I imagine my teeth would rot as I would simply live off sweets!

Silvana said...

Is the white look a dress or some sort of slip? whatever the case I like it. I have been craving things with lace and ruffles.
I let my nylon sub somehow run out and am too broke to resubscribe just yet. So sad haha.

By the way, why is there milk behind the counter?

Caro said...

lovely outfits :) and love the detail with you reading NYLON in the last picture! Fantastic magazine! Have you ever been to the m&m's store on Times Square? The first picture made me think of that. m&m's from the roof to the floor. It's kind of disgusting, but an experience to be in a candy store that is so much over the top!

addicted said...

such an adorable shot in front of the candy! i love those gold tights!

said...

i love the candy backround especially with what your wearing! and i love the picture of you with the nylon mag.. if i ever had to work thats probabaly what i would be doing behind the counters as well!

suzy. said...

Fashion-DiscipleXXX said...

saray said...

atelier said...

My fav, the white dress, the tights are interesting, I wouldn't dare to wear them, but they look good.

Jill said...

I like the white dress, and your butterfly belt.

Adaora A. said...

I honestly think I've found a style twin in you. I never wear pants, and as you said on Jills site, neither do you. Too boring.

Oh, can I borrow that dress?

Secretista said...

You blend in with the CANDY! WOO!

Addison said...

argh those gold-y tights are to die for!!!! hehe are you totally SICK to death of candy now? Id be living on it if i worked there!!

On Track said...

OH YUM CANDY!!! Now I am craving it, i love sour candy like sour snakes. I'll have to go out and get some now.

Your outfits are so cute, do you have a lot of dresses? I love dresses. That white one is so pretty, and with the velvet flats, it is the perfect combination :D

www.stylesymmetry.com said...

Yeah, Franz Ferdinand! I love love your purse!!! and the tightsa although, are they itchy? either way super cute!

capuccino bar said...

hey, your photos are always original.

coco said...

I love the snap of you reading Vogue
It makes me think of old movies from the 50's where women are getting their hair done all peeping over the latest Vogue

ChiliLady said...

very cute looks! the first dress really works with the candy in the bg.

Sally Jane said...

I love how you've always got a theme to your outfits.

Miss Woo said...

Your dress matches the candy!And I so, so want a pair of those gold tights!

susie_bubble said...

Love the shot of you reading Nylon... if only I could slack off that much whilst working

Elisabeth said...

I love the red dress - mixed with the sweeties it looks adorable!

Also love the gold tights and blue ballet flat combo!

Kira Fashion said...

hello!

for me, you are a fashion icon :)

a kiss and a hug,

from,

Kira

Wendy said...

Very pretty white dress and gray cardigan combination! And if working there means getting to read the magazines when they first come out, I wanna work there too!

Anne Corrons said...

That's a perfect picture of how it's good to work! Love the bag, too!

enc said...

That dress is cute. I could never work there, because I'd eat all the candy, and all my teeth would rot, and all my paychecks would have to go toward paying my candy tab. You're brave.

selinaoolala said...

the thrifted dress is a great find! and i love photos with food in the background, you never really appreciate how bright and colourful the packaging is in store

Bocadelobo said...
