You look fabulous! Love the citron and pink with the neutrals! I hope your first day went well.

Good luck and congratulations! You look super!

Yay for your new job - I hope the first day went smoothly.
You look fantastic.

Congratulations! YLF and what a great way to wear the jacket from your interview suit!

Thanks, everyone! I felt great - my feet are still tired, but when we met the Store Manager she said, "You look so fashionable!" so it was all worth it.

The uniform is more strict than I thought: the tee shirt plus denim or slacks. I'm hoping that colored denim is acceptable, or life really is going to be all about the boots for some time!

Marianna, no POS training yet, but soon. They didn't have our green POS shirts ready yet. It is a really cool feature!

Today was mostly spent getting used to the floor and organizing things - though I'm sure many people would not like the manual labor, it was very zen for me.

Rae, this is such a gorgeous outfit--possibly my favourite of your looks that I've seen. Just wonderful in every way. Citron + magenta = <3

Rae, citron and pink look great together. And with the black trousers, the look is quite professional.

Congratulations on your new job! How exciting for you, Rae. You look stunningly beautiful in this outfit, the colors are perfect. I'm glad you had a good start!

Congratulations on the new job! So happy your first day went well, and you look wonderful!

Glad it went well, Rae! Your outfit looked perfect. I never would have thought pink wedges could almost be a neutral. You have great style sense!

You looked fabulous for your first day, Rae. I was worried about you wearing those heels all day. Ouch!

Rae, that's so funny you mentioned the manual labor being Zen-like. You reminded me of a job I once had back in 1986 I worked for my college's botany department. Part of my varied job required me to plant avocado pits in little bags of dirt. They would drive me out to the greenhouse and leave me there with a big truckload of potting soil, a bunch of bags, a bucket of avocado pits, and a little trowel. It was repetitive, calm, and the dirt smelled great. It was one of the best jobs ever! Thanks for jogging that memory.

I totally understand the zen part of organizing racks... YAY for a job you will love!

Glad to hear your first day went well! YLF is rooting for you.

After seeing your great outfit, I'd think they'd be inspired to rethink the dress code! You look fantastic! I love the yellow blouse and pink shoes together.

Glad you had a good day & a great compliment.
You reminded me of the quote:
Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water.
After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water.

Glad your first day went well! The mobile POS is pretty slick. (-: You'll do great! Hopefully you can wear color denim (or at least white?).

ETA - can you wear blouses or knitted tops under the tee? A cute button down collar peeking out could be cute!

I've been kind of out of it (TONS o' work) but belated congrats on the job. Sounds great for you and you'll learn tons and with your knowledge you'll advance in no time. Your outfit is really great and please tell me about those shoes! I heart them!

Rae -- I missed the thread about you getting the job. Congratulations! I think you will do extremely well and will advance quickly. I love the outfit, the pink shoes are fab.

If you find any excellent 8 hour standing shoes, let me know. I love my clogs but stylish they are not.

I used to do desk work, more thinking/organizing/planning work, now I'm mostly a server although I also do managerial work at my family's restaurant. I'm less depressed having a job that keeps me physically active. I think you will like this aspect of your job, if you can get enough walking on the floor in.

Jenava, I am right there with you and *dying* to ask more dress code questions, but I don't want to seem over eager to push the rules. Since we are pushing colored denim right now, I'll ask about that first, then layering as it cools down. Oh yes, I have it all planned out, lol.

Jeanne, the shoes are Jessica Simpson "Janie" wedges. I looked and looked for a link to give you, but it looks like they aren't online anymore. If you happen to be a size 8.5, I have an extra pair I was going to return, as the 9 fit me better.

Denise, I found the *exact* same thing! Being at the desk all day was really depressing, and I didn't realize it fully until I left. I totally feel like Ron Livingston at the end of Office Space. My Frye boots were great for the long days at the mall during Shoptoberfest, though I only wore them for 4 hours at work today, so they haven't been retail tested yet.

Very, very fabulous! You look great:)
