I'm even surprised both my eyes were open at the time this was taken.
This was me yesterday at around 9pm!
Now usually I'm snuggled up on the sofa with my blanket and not daring to move but yesterday this was different. I actually had a job interview/audition (I won't say what for just in case I don't get it); it was 6 -8pm which I thought was quite late but it was probably more convenient for them. It was a good interview/audition which I think I did alright with; I think everyone has messed up at an interview or two over the years. Now it's just a waiting game but I will let you know if anything happens. I did end up walking around town for nearly an hour trying to kill time; which actually was quite hard. I would walk around the same shop over and over again (I'm surprised I didn't look dodgy), although I did enjoy looking at all the clothes. Needless to say by the time I got home I was completely tired and could barely keep my eyes open (especially the lazy one); plus I didn't like that my shoes were very wet from the rain. I always moan about the weather!
To the outfit...
Now there wasn't really a dress code for the interview/audition evening but they did mention something about muted tones, for example black, navy, brown etc. I immediately thought back to the outfit I wore for the Benefit interview and audition, but I wanted to be a bit more adventurous rather then head to toe black. I purchased this kimono from River Island about a month ago in their pre-sale sale (if that makes sense); I was looking online and saw this for £10 and knew I had to get it. It's been hanging up waiting to be worn but it's always been too cold or too warm to wear it; with this outfit in mind I knew it would be a perfect match! It turned out it was the perfect thing to wear as everyone else was in their suits or cardigans so in that sense I stood out in a multi - print kimono.
I'm glad that the evening is over and I can finally calm my nerves.
Nothing beats relaxing at home watching cartoons!
I think I need to get out more...
