I wanted to share that I am so excited that I was selected for a background job in Budapest with a river cruise company. There were nine chosen from an agency in Florida and I was the only one from California. We leave Oct. 3 for one week and it was pretty amazing when I had a NYC stylist ask me to take my mobile phone into my closet to go over wardrobe selections. That's my one travel concern is that I have to take a lot of my own clothing, although they will reimburse me for my extra baggage.

My real reason for posting is to give a nod to Angie! Ever since I found Angie, her website and, you, the amazing people here, my life has been touched in so many remarkable ways, with new friends, an evolving fashion sense and new travel experiences.

There's something about you, Angie, that defies description.

I adore you and I'm so happy to share this news. I seem like a perpetual student, but my curiosity and love for learning is what makes my experience and connection here so helpful. With that, I'll post a few things tonight as I haven't been very regular and hope you understand. In fact, tomorrow, I have another job as an "instructor" and I'm to wear business attire and, in this post, I'd love to see what you think about a Halogen plaid suit I bought during NAS.

The first photo is my equipment shirt layered underneath a blue sheath.

The other photos are of the brown plaid Halogen. Do you think this works for me?

Thanks for your input! ^_^

This is really just about saying how happy I am that I found Angie to help me find my way with fashion and fun.
