You look great:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752621 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 23:38:38 +0000 rae 752621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> <p>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. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752598 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 23:24:53 +0000 CocoLion 752598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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.</p> <p>If you find any excellent 8 hour standing shoes, let me know. I love my clogs but stylish they are not.</p> <p>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. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752563 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 23:04:08 +0000 Jjsloane 752563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752551 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 22:55:57 +0000 Jenava 752551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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?).</p> <p>ETA - can you wear blouses or knitted tops under the tee? A cute button down collar peeking out could be cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752485 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:29:59 +0000 Caro in Oz 752485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you had a good day &amp; a great compliment.<br /> You reminded me of the quote:<br /> Before enlightenment - chop wood, carry water.<br /> After enlightenment - chop wood, carry water. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752463 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:57:13 +0000 Debby 752463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752424 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 20:23:27 +0000 Sylvie 752424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad to hear your first day went well!

YAY for a job you will love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752192 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 15:55:46 +0000 JulieJohn 752192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752115 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:34:50 +0000 Carole 752115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You looked fabulous for your first day, Rae. I was worried about you wearing those heels all day. Ouch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752112 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 14:27:21 +0000 kellygirl 752112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-752024 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 11:57:43 +0000 Debora 752024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations on the new job! So happy your first day went well, and you look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-751953 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 07:25:10 +0000 Ingunn 751953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-751941 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 06:13:01 +0000 Asingh 751941@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, citron and pink look great together. And with the black trousers, the look is quite professional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-751937 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 05:54:38 +0000 Ariadne 751937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae, this is such a gorgeous outfit--possibly my favourite of your looks that I've seen. Just wonderful in every way. Citron + magenta = &lt;3 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-751897 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 04:33:57 +0000 rae 751897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>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. :)</p> <p>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!</p> <p>Marianna, no POS training yet, but soon. They didn't have our green POS shirts ready yet. It is a really cool feature!</p> <p>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. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day/page/2#post-751893 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 04:30:36 +0000 Anonymous 751893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations!

The bright pink pumps soooo make this outfit for me.</p> <p>And it's so fun to see the "messy" hair, it looks so perfect on you! That wax was such a great tip from Kari. I tried sleeping in mine last night, but my hair looked just as messy as normal in the morning hehe </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day#post-751606 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 22:20:59 +0000 pil 751606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hope you had a great day! I was thinking along the same line as Dana - they ought to at least have you select the uniform! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day#post-751589 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 22:15:19 +0000 Ginkgo 751589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look terrific! Congratulations on landing the job! And I never would have thought of the citron shirt/magenta wedges combination but it works brilliantly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-first-day#post-751588 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 22:13:15 +0000 Marley 751588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rae! I missed the thread that you had got the job! Congratulations! Its at the Rack, right? Do you know what you will be doing? This outfit is a great "first day" kind of look - and I love the color of the top mixed with the shoes! </p>
