Instead of….

by Heidi on March 12, 2010

…these bad ass shoes – which I lust after and are luckily sold out otherwise I’d be tempted to buy them for my spring wedding Maid of Honor garb..but…really I have no use for them. They’re not practical anymore.

{Why…hello beautiful.}

Lucky for me, they’re sold out. So no loss. Not that I have a need as I mentioned, my new job is going to have me wearing shoes more on this line…

{I can dig ‘em.}

Still wondering where I’m going to be working? Well. I’m keeping it secret. Ish. (lie)

You can check it out here.

I know I didn’t go to college to work in “retail,” but it’s so much more than that. It’s what I need. I need to nurture myself for a while, regain some confidence, save some money, have some fun. I need to be in an environment where I can be confident in myself (also, this is NOTHING like working at Guess? Kids in Cambridgeside Galleria in 2001) and going to work won’t make me cry or feel sick. I need that. At least for now.

It’s going to be an awesome ride, and it’s totally going to get me to practice yoga more, and run when I say I’m going to run. I’m excited, inspired and relieved. And really? That’s about as much as I can ask for for now. Grad school will happen, my history courses will happen. It’s just going to take some time. For now, I’m just going to “breathe and enjoy the moment.”

For now, I’m going to start my own 30 day yoga challenge. There’s 30 days til my birthday and I plan to do yoga every day for at least 20 minutes a day until then. That’s why I’m working on cleaning our spare room so I can do it in here. It’s a slow process. There’s my Fitness Friday contribution. I’ve sucked at everything this week, I ran a nice 8 mile run last Sunday with the beautiful spring weather and got out for a couple of really, really long walks, but it caused my knees to be wonky, so I’m going easy on the running til I get new sneaks.

    Awesome! Your new job is literally 5 minutes from where my school is! I go to the Avenue all the time! Love it! :)

    that’s awesome! I miss working in retail. And mark my words-I will be working in either a coffee shop or a restaurant with a J.D. You do what you gotta do-and if you’re going to be making the best of it, it might as well be in an environment that doesn’t make you feel like you’re a rat in a cage. (plus: do you get discounts? hands down the best part about working in a coffee shop was free coffee on demand).

    Welcome to the world of fashionable sneakers! See? It’s not so bad! :D

    I was actually online window shopping for some all stars yesterday, haha.

    Congrats on the job again!

    I actually miss working in retail- something about interacting with the human species makes me happy. Now I just sit in an office by myself. Booooring.

    PS.. those first shoes are hawt. And nude shoes are ALL the rage right now. You can wear them with everything.

    Lucky lady! Your job sounds lovely. And please share about your yoga challenge. Maybe one of these days I’ll get around to trying one too.
