Hello Ladies!
I have been so busy this week i can't believe its Thursday already!
On Monday Izzy and I went thrifting
But before we went thrifting we took pics outside
Izzy wasn't feeling too good this week she lost her cat, kidney problems
I phoned her this week to see how she was doing, she didn't call me back, remind me to give her shout -
I'm in front of a church in my hood where we wanted to have a look at the bazaar
But it was closed
Wearing my brooches on my winter coats
I have seen someone wearing them this way, I thought it was a good idea
I have seen someone wearing them this way, I thought it was a good idea
On Tuesday i had an appointment to the Y's Employment Service
I have joined a program called OSE
This is what i wore for the appointment
Again i think i kept it appointment friendly and added my personnality
I refuse to wear a business suit ! A jacket maybe!

I was suppose to start a similar program with another organization in Feb but i preferred this one because it's starting now for 8 weeks plus workshops - And i liked the counsellor -
On Wednesday I met my good friend Danielle
I haven't seen her for a while
We had lunch and chatted away!
I also got on Wednesday a called from a Government Agency for a job interview for a secretarial position i applied on last week
My interview is next Tuesday
They told me the interview would last 1 hour and would have to do a 45 minutes French grammar test - Again!
Today i slept in a bit, took care of a few things and went to that charity shop that was close on Monday
This is what i have found
Total - $9
Tweed and mink collar coat - $5
Suede boots - $4

Polka dots top - Forever 21

Good luck with your interview you look sunny and cute in the middle of winter! Love it :D ~xx Heather
Fingers crossed for your job interview, I sure hope you get it!
I like the way you wore several brooches, it looks really good, I like doing that too sometimes!
Hugs xx
Oh Ariane, I do wish you well with your search...you are so cute and fun and I just have to believe that someone is going to recognize your talents and give you an opportunity to shine. Hang in there...sounds like you are approaching this with healthy thinking!
Hello Ariane,
The OSE organisation sounds very helpful and interesting. I don't think we have similar in Germany free of charge. If I want mentoring I have to pay for it. Good that you have the chance to start immediately.
Your outfit is perfect for an interview again. I can not imagine to go for an interview wearing something I do not feel fine in. Someday I wore my black leather pants and I got the job. I think it is always important to be yourself.
I'm so sorry for your daughters cat, she lost a little friend.
I wish you good luck for the next interview (provided you want the job).
Have a great weekend my dear!

You look amazing, Ariane, and congrats for enrolling in a course! ( I started a French class today, something I have been putting off, so I am feeling proud of myself). I love the coat and boots you found, and I am so sorry to hear about Izzy's kitty, I sure know how hard that is. It was nice that you helped to get her out of the house - I thank some good friends here for doing the same thing for me. It helped. Xoxo
Of course Canada has something like the OSE. Here in the states it's sink or swim. Love your mustard tights. Cute as always. Poor Izzy. When we lost our cat my daughter lost about 5lbs from sadness. :(
Nice Benetton skirt!! I love when people where a whole group of brooches together on a lapel or vest-- they look great! Great boots, too! You must have smaller feet to always be finding such good shoes :) It seems to me all the good ones are always smaller than my size 9s.
Lots of luck with the course and the job interview, Ariane. Love that cute little red skirt with the ankle boots, and the coat and boots you found at the thrift store look great.
Poor Izzy, she'll be feeling so sad about her kitty.
You sound busier than when you worked full time! Have a great weekend! xxxx
J'aime la broche de curling!
You look so terrific and sunny, Ariane. Sorry to Izzy on the loss of her cat, I know that is a sad event! Best thoughts to you for your upcoming interview, ahhh the French grammar is a beast.
Your appointment outfit is so cute! It's much better to be comfortable than to wear what you think will impress someone else - you would feel awkward and not at all yourself in a business suit! Lots of luck for your interview - I hope it works out for you :) xx

That's a heck of a rich coat you found. I bet you'll get a ton of use out of that beauty. It's amazing how busy you can get without a job, isn't it?
You look lovely doll, I wish you all good luck for the appointments, I hope they go well!! You look radiant!! Have a great weekend xx
I refuse to wear a business suit too. And why should we when there are so many other awesome sartorial choices! We need to convince more women to abandon their comfort zone of the suit.
Why I would hire you based on how stylish you are alone! I love the first picture of you those mustard tights really make the outfit for me! You look warm and cute!! Good luck on the job hunt sweetie. Sorry to hear about poor Izzy's kitty cat, that makes me sad for her. Call her and go and have lunch too.

I agree with Krista,you look so stylish. Fab coat and tights. You look great. Fingers crossed for the other jobs
I know you are going to find a job that suits you, where they appreciate your joyful style! I wish I could thrift shop in some of the places you do - you can't find anything for $5 in any of the secondhand places around here. I'm very sorry about the loss of Izzy's cat.
Good of you my dear Ariane.
I love all your outfits and inspiration.

Hello dear!
Nice blog you have!
I think we should follow each other!
What do you say ? Kisses . Muuuuah
Good luck with your interview Ariane, you look so sunny and stylish and have such a positive attitude that I know you will find something soon. Your second hand finds were great too, I can imagine you getting loads of wear out of them both. So sorry to hear about Izzy's cat, hope you can get hold of her and cheer her up again, it's always so sad to lose a beloved pet. xx
Beautiful!! Love the pins in the skirt!
xoxo
