I formally welcome you to my glamorous life as a convenience store cashier. Since freshman year I have worked at this (coveted) position on my college campus. The store is located in the basement of one of the dormitories, which leads to all sorts of interesting characters visiting at all hours of the night. People often stumble through in a dazed hunt for caffeine while dressed in pajamas, though sometimes they come in on scooters, or even rolling chairs...
Outfit details: coat- gift (Anthropologie), turtleneck- H&M, dress- H&M, socks- gift, shoes- H&M, bag- Pull and Bear
One of my sisters sent me along a lovely surprise for my birthday. I haven't worn or photographed it yet, but the piece came with a clear lucite ring in the shape of an elephant which I have been wearing. The bold, modern feel of the ring fit well with the graphic black, white and green outfit I wore the other day. There must be nothing more difficult to photograph than a clear lucite elephant...
Outfit details: coat- H&M, dress- H&M, sweater- H&M, tights- gift, bag- Pull and Bear, necklace- gift, shoes- H&M
P.S. I would like to thank everyone who sent me birthday wishes. It was simple, good day and several phone calls from family members made it better.

a convenience store! what a beautiful setting to be taking pictures, especially while dressed in black+white.
i think your job is great. ever since I watched the movie GO (ages ago), I have been dreaming of working at a till, where products just parade in front of you and you simply need to scan them;)
I hope life being 22 turns out to be seriously exciting, to contrast the job u find boring.
I love that you can take photos there. Perfect place for an interesting photoshoot! I really like that the ring is clear, so unusual! What an adorable present.
Sounds like a really cool stuff! It's great to meet new people every day :).
oh gosh convencience store photoshoot = amazing pictures! all those colours! really great!
xx
oh! so sorry i missed out on your birthday. but i wish you all the best and its wonderful to hear you had a simple but good day.
working somewhere where a lot of people go in and out anytime must be a really interesting place. its like a field trip examining all kinds of people in their own natural environment. i love watching people. haha
youre so cute. i love the striped dress/skirt. take care
i saw the clothes horse online as one of the top style blogs for teen vogue! congrats!
we have a place like that on campus, but it's not open all night! it's known formally as "the outpost," but everyone on campus calls it the c-store lol.
that ring is a very unique, versatile piece.
Happy belated birthday! I love the photos you took in the store, it's so colorful in there!
The convenience store seems like a perfect place for an impromptu photoshoot.
I really like your skirt and your dress!
Love the pics from your store, you do actually make it look very cool to work there!:)
It's so cool to have a convenience store all to yourself so you can take all these fabulous photos. I'm assuming these were taken before you opened the store? ;)
Today (no joke) looking at magazines, cant quite remember if it's the UK Vogue, or Elle did an editorial at a supermarket! I loved the idea... and now I see you HERE you at the store!!! How cool is that?
Great place for pics as it looks so cute and tidy.
I love the first picture. It looks like a security camera shot. Both outfits are really lovely.
do you have a myspace?
as boring as working in convienience store sounds one based on campus SOUNDS FUNNNN!!!!!! haha spes with the wacky characters haha!
cute photos... i used to trade my meal credits for ice cream at the campus convenience store.
happy belated birthday!!!
i love the walls in your room with all your things on it - very cool!
awesome shop, i don't know what I like about it but it's very appealing..
x
There was a store in the basement of my dorm too. Yours looks a lot cleaner.
Sounds like an entertaining job - ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE btw! i love your green jacket!
What a cute colourful & neat store, a perfect backdrop for your photos too! I adore them as usual, as well as that lucite elephant ring, love it!
xx
PS. Did you find my tag for you in my blog? It was to answer the Q&A's (if you're so inclined, I totally understand if you don't ;))
I love that you've taken photos in your work! It's such a fun setting as well. The colour of your jacket is perfect. x
Good for you that you work. I thought you were a rich bitch.
the pictures in the store are great I like the striped skirt!
Love those store photos!! And your green outfit is really nice, I wish I could see the elephant better.
it was your birthday recently?????
HAPPY HAPPY [BELATED] BDAY, NA NA NA NA NA NA, LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA, BA DEE DA DOO DA DA! WOOT!
sorry, that was my little song :)
I love that checkered dress
<3 lise
i would love to work in a grocery store, it sounds like fun
that ring sounds amazing i hope you're able to take a good picture of it at some point
i have a question: what kind of american apparel leggings do you have? i was on the website and there were so many kinds of black leggings and i was a little bit overwhelmed
Gosh, I'm having flashbacks of college when I used to work at our campus Jamba Juice! Even though the setting is nothing like a campus convenience store.
I get what you mean! I work at the burger place located inside the university pub. It gets interesting. Some days there are shows, and one night that I was working, a guy from the band needed some paper and a pen to write down a set list. The best I could give him was paper towels and a bright red sharpie. He was way cool about it.
that indeed is a glamorous life ;] junk food is fabulous! =]
xoxo,

@Anonymous #1, I don't have a myspace.
I dont know what attracts me to green, black, and white combos like this! I think you look great!
The convenience store pictures look so awesome! And such a great idea to have one in a dorm.
I love the striped skirt, and the gingham dress with your always lovely green coat.
haha, i want to work in a convience store just so I can take pictures by the easymac!
Convenience store eh? sounds fun. My school wasn't cool enough to have a convenience store...
I probably spent less money though.
as a Pennsylvanian i often wonder where you go to college... i also wonder how you continue to wear skirts when it is so freaking cold out, but i guess i do the same thing...i only own one pair of school approved pants...
lovely pictures though, they tell a real story. i'm still working on settings for my pics... and yours are always so good and teh camera (i'm assuming on self timer like mine) is always on a good level. i really enjoy teh flirty skirt on the second outfit.
Fun photos! You're always patternistic! I love how you can manage to make lines and ginghams look interesting. =)
I loved how you used your workplace as a setting for your photos.
I also really really love that Anthropologie coat! Jealous!
that's awesome you have a job on campus don't hve to go far =) and the added plus you get lots of snack! i adore snacks =) love the outfits
Happy belated birthday ^,^
Hope you have a great years
I like this photoshoot, so fun
And you look adorable with stripes, checked, green, gorgeous ring...
I can never pull that better than you :)
you inspire me!
You always take the FUNNEST pics. How clever! And easy mac, yum.
I hope you had a great birthday! And that's a great job. Very High Fidelity but with snacks and drinks.
great pics, and nice garment.
That actually sounds really interesting, working night shifts where you inevitably get more interesting characters... you could make a novel about all the different peeps or something!!! xx
These photos are gorgeous. I love the black and white outfit contrasting with all the gaudiness of convenience store packaging!
Great pictures! The elephant ring sounds amazing! :)
I love these pics. Do you get to snack on the food if no one is around?
girl u look gorgeous and make just astonishing photos!!!!!
pretty black/white dress and working in convenience store?..I did too :)
I like the second picture ;)
Your comvenience store pictures have perfect juxtaposition.
It was so sweet of UO to send you that package. Happy Belated Birthday!
Looks like you have a lot of fun in that convenience store! :)
I love that green coat!
Really cool outfits, love 'em !
Love your checkered dress and this glimpse into your "glam" life!!
xoxox,
CC
Ahaha! how the devil did you manage to get your feet up on the aisle?! simply fantastic! great pics! <3 Üdo
ahh Anthropologie. I love that place. We don't have one around here, but when I went to NYC we went there. I almost bought a [beautiful] coat, but it was a size too small =[ Yours is gorgeous though, along with your whole outfit ;]
I hope I get a job like that when I go to college. I have a feeling I'll end up the librarian aid or something. xP
great place to take pictures.
waiting for more..
there is also a tag for you. visit my blog along with "fashion architect", to see whats going on..
It's amazing how vibrant junk food looks when photographed.... perfect background for your outfit....
Good idea the shots in the store ! The plaid coat is beautiful :)
The store is such a great scene for your pix! You are a creative girl!
I love your green coat and checkered dress. :) You whole outfit looks fab!

xx-LJ from SOS!
I Love the H&M Dress! In fact - I own it!
:)
very cute girl and fabulous dress!
Please visting www.luxurynavi.com to find more cute handbags!!
Without sounding absoltely creepy, I want to stalk you and your wardrobe. It's amazing how you manage to re-create and "remix" all your clothes, without anyone, or at least me personally, being able to see similarity from one outfit to the next. I have a wardrobe full of clothes and I manage to get tired of it so easily. I don't think I have to tell you this, but you are fabulous. Much love :)
love the pictures inside your store- you have such an amazing eye for framing.
ZOMG I forget to check my favorite fashion blog for a few days, and I come back to discover that you have the EXACT same job as me. Oh, college residence convenience stores -- possibly the least convenient place on earth, but it's close to where I live, and the randoms wandering in at 3 AM on a Wednesday (can you cay "got the munchies?") make it all worthwile...
Wait, that's a lie, it's the thankless minimum wage that makes it worthwile.

She just show us her opinion of clothes! Why you call her bitch?!
