Promotion=New Wardrobe

I am so excited for my new promotion. A little nervous, and a little unsure of whats to come, but it is so worth it. I am the new assistant manager of lingerie!!  I am moving to a different store, where there are a few familiar faces, but a ton of new ones. The excitement began on Monday when I received the call from the lingerie manager asking me to join her team. I accepted immediately with a huge smile on my face. Two days later it still has not set in, but I have been thinking of all the ways to wear my current wardrobe and all the things I would like to add to it.  I love that this will be a brand new start for 2011. A new job, a new work environment and new people. What more could I ask for? After sifting through my closet, seeing what I have for dresses, skirts and pants I knew I was in trouble. With a closet full of denim and cute tops, I never had a problem because I worked in t.b.d. and wore jeans all the time. Lingerie, not so much and I refuse to wear black dress pants and look like an adult. I am faced with the challenge of keeping my personal style, following the trends, and looking professional for work....without jeans. I am thinking it is time to invest in the Citzens for Humanity Avedons. They are black, fabulous, look like denim...but they aren't! 

I can think of a billion ways to incorporate these with boots, blazers and fun tops that I already have in my closet. I finally have my own desk, I saw it during my interview. Very cute, but very cold which means I am going to have to layer to keep myself warm. Unless they allow me to bring a space heater, which I highly doubt they will. I went to h&m and got two chunky cable knit sweaters and a new black jacket I have been wanting for awhile. I added a new belt with a huge bow on it, and a couple necklaces. I have all the basics I need to get by with and a ton of accessories to make each outfit look new and exciting each time I mix and match my clothes. I start the 17th, and it cannot come soon enough!!
