I haven’t really been posting much lately and I would love to be able to say it’s because I’ve been busy, but actually the opposite is true.  I haven’t really been doing (or wearing) anything worth posting about.  I’ve been unemployed for four months and ran out out of money (which I saved in Canberra) a little while back.  My days at the moment are filled with job hunting, household chores and trying to figure out my university applications.  And a bit of moping for good measure.  So, I’ve kind of been in a bit of a funk about the whole lack of job/lack of money thing.

I’ve been to a couple of interviews so far, but no dice.  It seems to have been small things that have been the problem.  The last interview I went to was going really well until they asked if I was a student.  The position was for a casual retail assistant, 12-15 hours per week, but they wanted someone with ‘full availability’.  So, my applying for university was a problem for them.  It made me glad that they didn’t go ahead and offer me the position anyway because it probably would have been a bunch of 3 hour lunch cover shifts and the expectation that I would drop everything to fill shifts at a moments notice.  But I have another interview tomorrow (following on from a phone interview yesterday), so it’s not all bad.  And at the very least, the other interviews have been good practice.

I would have posted my interview outfits on here, but I usually change into them just before leaving the house so I don’t spill things on them.  And then I’m usually so keen to change into something more casual when I get home that it doesn’t even cross my mind to take a photo.  I will try to remember tomorrow though because I managed to dig out a plaid skirt I thrifted years ago and it is awesome.  I was actually planning on cutting it up, but now I’m really glad I didn’t because god knows what I was thinking!

Anyway, outfit post tomorrow (hopefully) and I’ve also drafted a post about my experience with the contraceptive implant.  When I started this blog it was meant to be my craft blog and then I got really interested in fashion blogging and I changed tack, but now I’ve kind of realised that for me to remain interested and enthusiastic it needs to reflect who I am as a person.  So, in the future I’ll be posting more about issues that are important to me.  And I’m totally going to make a new header image soon too.

I’ve also been playing with Poladroid a fair bit too haha.
