watch: my segment on news channel 8, and my outfit!

I made my first return to DC TV yesterday! I jumped on 'Lets Talk Live" on News Channel 8 to talk about Jingle Ball! [I can't believe it's on Monday.. so close!!!]

Not going to lie.... I was a little nervous because it's been a while since I've been in front of a camera, and I didn't get to talk to the hosts ahead of time to feel out how much "elizabethany" I could let out.

Luckily... I only had a few ADD stumbles. It's just so weird being the interviewee!

And because I think my facial expressions are ridiculous [or maybe I'm narcissistic, I'm not really sure...], I figured I'd see what I could find in this video. 

Turns out I still have a crooked mouth problem... and yes, I definitely talk just like this while on the radio. 

I had imagined standing up for the interview, so I had put together an outfit that I'm a pretty big fan of... 

The best part... the whole thing only cost me $7!

-dress from my clothing swap party

-sweater tights from Charlotte Russe Black Friday $5

-shoes were a gift from my brother!

-scarf from the thrift shop a couple years ago for maybe $2

Hopefully I can get on TV around here some more! I don't think I'll be sending this tape out to prove why I can do it... but some more practice will be in order!

love,

what i've been wearing- the end of summer

I've been pretty good about getting dressed and looking nice every day, but I've been awful at taking pictures... go figure.

Anyway, here's a look at some things I've been seen in.

This dress is the product of really good advertising. I saw an ad for this ASOS dress being $16 on Facebook, and less than five minutes later it was on its way to me. I really do love the skater style dresses and skirts right now.. the only downside is if it's windy- you're goodies are bound to show.

-earrings from XXI

-shoes from Kohls

[New haircut alert, thanks to Hair Graphics in Virginia Beach! Those dead ends had to go.] 

This necklace is something that's gonna transform my usual not-so-girly fashion, I feel... but I also plan on using it to just spruce up some more plain outfits. I love the contrast of texture it has with my new crochet tank. 

-necklace- Rue21 $2!

-tank- JLo brand at Kohl's clearance $4

-jeans from Kohl's $20

-flats- Charming Charlies $5

My first day at work yesterday was like the first day of school. I was so excited to go back to a place and people I knew, but have all new experiences... and I couldn't decide what I wanted to wear! Thanks to a bunch of you commenting on this awesome new necklace from my Rue21 haul, I built the outfit around it.

-blazer from K-Mart! Seriously. $15

-tee from Express clearance $15ish

-jeans from F21 $10

-flats from Target $8

I'll be sharing a bunch more from my first day[s] at work soon... but if I'm being honest, which I always am- I still feel like I'm living in a dream. I AM living a dream, but it doesn't seem real yet. I'm still trying to soak everything in. 

love,
elizabethany
