So good to see you posting ago. This is such a fun outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-811136 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 22:11:48 +0000 CocoLion 811136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole/Nicki -- first I am impressed you can type that well on your phone.</p> <p>Thank you for sharing your experience. (And I apologize for leading your thread OT.) </p> <p>It's really interesting to hear your perspective. Most of all, I agree it would be difficult for two people to work in the industry -- what with the uneven hours/wages and lack of benefits.</p> <p>Yeah I had a bad night, only one 4 top last night for dinner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810774 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 15:54:39 +0000 nicoleb 810774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry to hear you had a bad night at work! I know from personal experience that not feeling happy about your job can really affect your attitude and life. :(</p> <p>I think serving has its pros and cons like any job. I am a very social high energy person and I loved the challenge of keeping mass amounts of people happy in a fast paced environment because I was really good at it. having cash in hand every single day you work is nice too.</p> <p>I personally would not go back to it as a full time job in place of my current job because it provides me with a lot of things I currently need in my life (non-fluctuating income, M-F 9-5, some benefits) and right now I'm really happy with where I am. </p> <p>But I will say I do miss the social aspect of serving. My office tends to be very quiet and everyone here is much older than me. My husband is a chef and always has tons of fun stories and is always making new friends. But with as uncertain as the restaurant industry is I don't believe having two members of a household working in it would be the best for our family. It's the same reason why I haven't gone for several much more social jobs that have you working on commission. But I'm grateful and happy to have the job that I have because I know when I was hired I wasn't the most qualified and I have definitely learned a lot about financial planning which I'm sure will help me in the long run!</p> <p>Sorry if that was crazy long (I'm typing on my phone.). Not sure if it was helpful or not, lol? I hope you find the solution that works best for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810600 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 09:09:24 +0000 CocoLion 810600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is a lot of fun and the purple and black are pure Rock &amp; Roll! Love the platform lace up boots.</p> <p>On another note, I saw your comment in Mo's jeans &amp; tipping thread -- do you ever think you would go back to being a server or do you love your current job more? I had a really disheartening night at work ... wondering how serving compares to other jobs. I mean I know how it compares to my former job in marketing, but I'm curious what your perspective is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810590 Mon, 07 Jan 2013 06:46:34 +0000 Asingh 810590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit, Nicole!

I thought the movie was fantastic! I had no idea that Helena Bonham Carter was going to be in it (i love her) so that was as delightful treat. Plus she was amazing with Sasha Baron Cohen. </p> <p>I didn't end up crying but i think i was the only one in the theater who did not. @_@</p> <p>Suz - haha thanks for remembering me. You're always so sweet. :*</p> <p>Beth Ann - I'm all about fun. ;)</p> <p>Kari - Thanks! It's Mac's "Rebel" and it's one of my favorites. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810350 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 22:54:15 +0000 morethanbeige 810350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this!

I'm particularly fond of the booties, which could easily work in my climate and closet.</p> <p>P.S.. Hope you stuffed a whole box of kleenex in there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810297 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:39:03 +0000 annagybe 810297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, maximal but maximally awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810279 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 21:02:50 +0000 catgirl 810279@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just right for you and your tough-sweet style.

Yes, a lot going on, but the color ties it all in beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810241 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:57:20 +0000 Anonymous 810241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes I see you and boy, do I wish I was a bit younger on in a creative field. Love your outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810230 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:29:45 +0000 Anonymous 810230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Moira said. Everything looks just right for you and your style. The purple studded bag is a find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810228 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:27:27 +0000 Kari 810228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, that's such a fun outfit! I love those purple jeans on you. I like how you look warm, comfortable, AND stylish at the same time. Your lip color is all kinds of beautiful next to your flawless skin. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810222 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:14:34 +0000 moira 810222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is just adorable. It is a lot going on and it all fits together perfectly.<br /> There is just enough, and not too much, for a wonderful outfit.<br /> How can I translate this mix for my 55 year old self, I wonder? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw---16-matchy-mismatchy#post-810219 Sun, 06 Jan 2013 19:09:05 +0000 nicoleb 810219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel like I should be on that, "Confessions of a Shopaholic" movie with this outfit. Did you see it? A good majority of Rebecca's (main character) outfits had a lot going on but they were all really color coordinated. I guess that's me today! I'm about to go see Les Miserables in like...........20 minutes. Yay! You guys can take bets if i'm going to cry or not. </p> <p>Black faux fur bomber jacket: UNIF<br /> Purple/black striped scarf: Vera Wang for Kohls<br /> Grey/black houndstooth sweater: Hot Kiss<br /> Purple leopard print jeans: Vigoss<br /> Black flatform boots: C Label<br /> Purple studded handbag: Marshalls (i do not see a label on this bag....anywhere. o.O)</p> <p>Thanks for looking! Feel free to speak your mind! </p>
