I was so thrilled, especially upon happily returning to work after vacation, to get positive feedback. I had hardly any encouragement at all in the last couple years, and my last company did not focus on employee development (at least not at my low level), so this is such a great change. Even if this doesn't work out, I at least know I'm a good candidate next time there's an opening and am glad to have made a positive impression early on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/connemara-marble-and-purple-plaid#post-996534 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:23:53 +0000 Marley 996534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those colors are some of the <i>best</i> on you Kari!&nbsp; Just beautiful - - and thank you for sharing those factory pictures.&nbsp; Amazing!&nbsp; Also, still am in love with that K.S. bag!<br />I am so happy to hear that you like your new job&nbsp; - that is soooo important to our overall outlook on life isn't it?&nbsp; And it doesn't surprise me that they are liking you and considering making you permanent.&nbsp; Way to go Kari! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/connemara-marble-and-purple-plaid#post-996530 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:20:16 +0000 Makrame 996530@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So glad to hear about the new job!</p> <p>That green and purple combo is great, and you look great in a pencil skirt, as always. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/connemara-marble-and-purple-plaid#post-996526 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 19:17:40 +0000 Lisa 996526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck with the job.&nbsp; Gorgeous new necklace, it's lovely against the purple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/connemara-marble-and-purple-plaid#post-996475 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 18:08:43 +0000 rae 996475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love love love that pendant!!

It sounds like you are wowing them (we <b><i>knew </i></b>you would!) and it sounds like the environment is a whole lot happier and healthier. So important when you spend 40+ hours there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/connemara-marble-and-purple-plaid#post-996288 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:30:51 +0000 Anonymous 996288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such good news that you are enjoying your new position!</p> <p>You look lovely. Great pendant! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/connemara-marble-and-purple-plaid#post-996285 Thu, 01 Aug 2013 14:28:35 +0000 Kari 996285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I'm sporting two new pieces: a semi-sheer purple plaid button-down shot with mossy green undertones from Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, and a large green marble pendant necklace that was a souvenir from Connemara Marble in Ireland. (We toured the shop and factory, which has been operated by the same family for generations; I'm going to upload some photos from the workshop to this post in just a moment.)</p> <p>I paired it with my beloved burgundy pencil skirt and burgundy patent pumps, which served as my favorite interview shoes all summer. </p> <p>Speaking of interviews, I am so very happy at my new(ish) job. It's like night and day to return to a job that I enjoy after the stress and frustration of the last couple years. I got some great feedback, and in spite of only being here a short time (and on vacation for some of it), I'm being considered for conversion to a regular full time role down the line (my current position is temporary.)</p> <p>Nothing guaranteed as it's still really competitive, but hopeful and very flattering to be considered for the opportunity at this early stage. </p>
