I got these high-waisted paper bag trousers from Urban Outfitters and I totally love them (although they are pretty delicate). I love the idea of a crop top and polka-dot scarf with them, so, you know, that's exactly what I wore. And then I marched off into the desert, sucked my food baby in, and had my boyfriend take a million and one pictures of me (and then I only post one on my blog, lulz). Ta da!
I'm having some issues at work so I haven't been feeling up to much lately. We got a new manager while I was on vacation (background story: the store I work for just opened last fall and they never hired a manager until now) and she isn't my cup of tea. It's kind of a slap in the face when you just graduated college AND have management experience yourself and you're being micromanaged by a girl a couple of years older than you who hasn't finished school, has seemingly ONLY worked in bars, and talks about drinking beer all day. I'm obviously overqualified for my job, anyway, and was planning to quit by June...but something tells me it might be sooner than that. I've even considered buying a one-way ticket back to Arizona.

OOh, you sexy mama you! (Sorry, that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw your photo, I don't mean to sound like a 65 year old dirty man.) I LOVE your trousers!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the sucky situation at work. I'm not a fan of micromanagers either!
I love the outfit hunnie..the pants and sandals are really great.....:)
ReplyDeleteOn another note....my daughter says pretty much the same thing about her job,granted, shes only 18 years old..but she has been there longer, ans they always sick a brand new girl down her throat to yell at her all day....ughh....Im one for encouraging growth...even if that means a one way ticket...you need to grow within, and not stifle yourself....you are WAYYY too creative of a person for that Sweets:)

I literally am experiencing the same situation with my boss. I feel your pain, it really is the most frustrating, obnoxious thing (even if you do actually hate your job, like I do as well)
ReplyDeletebut on a happier note, I love these pictures! I haven't been to Arizona in forrreever, I need to go back soon! you look great in yellow pants, maybe I need to venture out of my comfort zone and get some..
in loveee with your blog. following you on twitter! i had to haha
ReplyDeletePretty pants that look good on you.
ReplyDeleteI guessed you were going through trouble at work, after reading your tweet a few days ago and then hearing the silence that followed. Sorry to hear about this. The position is merely a transitional one and will soon be just a memory. Good luck.
GORGEOUS!
ReplyDeleteand ugh...stupid work :(
(yep, I shall be going to Disney world! And Potter land, haha)

Sorry to hear about the trouble at work, Ashley. Your situation doesn't sound very fun, and it's frustrating to think how overqualified you are for your job.
ReplyDeleteLove your outfit though! You always pull off what I would consider to be daring pieces (for me, that is) in a way that is simple and elegant. Also, I really love the backdrop of your photo. And your new (slash maybe not that new, I've been gone a while) brunette look!

Ugh, people are so intimidated by younger employees that actually happen to know stuff! You rocked this. That is the perfect look for those pants.
ReplyDeleteI love the cut of those pants
ReplyDeleteI am not a yellow girl, but those pants are terrific.
So sorry about the work problems.
Sucks to be overqualified doesn't it.
I am always telling my family I am overqualified to run this household. LOL
Hope things turn around soon or another opportunity pops up for you

looooving the golden hues and styling:D
ReplyDeleteI hope your work gets better! If not, you can always quit like you've planned. You look great in that picture! Pretty flowers, I'm so amped that spring is right around the corner!
ReplyDeleteThose trousers are quite awesome, and I agree, polka dots were the right choice.
ReplyDeleteSorry about the job drama, hope you find something better soon!

Those pants are magnificent. I'm so jealous of them. As in, intensely jealous. As in, you may want to hide them... just kidding, but seriously. :]
ReplyDeleteSorry about the work drama. I worked at a pizza place for two years in high school - it changed ownership three times in that time period. It was awful because I was 17, a supervisor, and these new owners had no idea what they were doing, but they never wanted to listen to a whipper snapper like me. Ugh. New managers/bosses are always kind of a lame situation.

Great trousers. I'm currently looking for a good pair for myself.
ReplyDeleteOuch. Must be hard at work. Don't worry, we're here for ya :) keep up with the great posts...
You look gorgeous, honey. I love my paperbag pants too. They are fun and comfortable. And if I was 21 and smok'n hot, like you, I would wear a crop top as well.
ReplyDeleteQuit your job and fly to Arizona tomorrow and we can hang out! I'm so selfish.
xoxo,
Tracy
I'm sorry about your job dear, hope it gets better soon or you find a far superior one! I adore the colour of your pants, they look so awesome with the black.
ReplyDeleteThere's the polka dot scarf! I love it. As a headband, it's truly stunning.
ReplyDeleteI hope things get better at work. xo
Great outfit! Sorry to hear about your job. Good luck with everything!
ReplyDeleteAttention: Hot babe in the "dessert"!!!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I admire your lovely, curvy body in that pic!!
After changing 50 jobs and having serious "authority issues" with plenty beer-drinking managers, I can only say - DITCH THE SUCKERS!
(if only managers in the world knew how to actually manage....!Ha)
i wish im as daring as you! :) love it. hope everything gets better with your work. maybe one day the new manager will come to work drunk, get fired then you'll replace him/her. ha ha ha! not that i'm wishing that person to lose her job. not that mean. hhaha

You look great dear! <3
ReplyDeleteYou put this outfit together so nicely! The color of those trousers is so rich. & I had no idea that Doc Martens had sandals that are that cute! Good luck with the new manager!
ReplyDeleteyou look stunning (As always)!! Really amazing! And I love your crop top! I need to get myself one that looks like that!:D
ReplyDelete♥
Love this style. you look great. x
ReplyDeletethat sounds bad, u totally deserve a better working environment!
ReplyDeleteCute trousers!

lovely outfit! You look stunning!
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for job issue and I do understand the way you feel about your job. (I've had a similar situation when the other guys (most of them had less experience than I did) from my dept. got their salary higher but I didn't). It's a sad may to say 'hello' to your new job but new job would be better for sure.
Amazing shot of you. Great pose and rocking the sunnies.
ReplyDeleteI know how it goes with crappy managers. Sounds like you need to make a break for it. A one way ticket sounds exciting :)
This is such a great outfit. I've been looking for an awesome pair of trouser pants and these may just be them! Hang in there with your boss, its always a sucky situation but I totally suggest looking for a different job so you can get out of there!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!

90's continue to reign! Love it!
ReplyDeleteUneducated bosses are the worst! When I worked in retail those many years ago my manager's experience was more or less like yours. What I did - I ignored her as much as I could, but I didn't stay there for long either.
This outfit is phenomenal! You look stunning!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the job situation. :( That sucks. From my experience, I feel like a lot of unexperienced people, when put in managerial positions, tend to powertrip, micromanage, and get big egos. I've definitely dealt with sucky managers, but you gotta have bad bosses to teach you how NOT to act, right? So, when you're a manager/boss one day, you will be so much better than this girl!
pretty color!
ReplyDeletethis is like a photoshoot made for a magazine or something! sizzling hottt :)
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain darling... and complaints constantly go unheard! Working for the man sucks.
ReplyDeleteOh the plus side though you look absolutely gorgeous, and those pants are to die for!
lol @ your "food baby"
I adore high-waisted pants and these are totally amazing! And wow, I'm so glad to come by your blog, it's really great. Your style is so diverse, I like that! Would you be up to exchanging blogroll links or something? I'd love to, check out my blog and see if you like it, too :))

Love the outfit, the polka dot scarf really adds the extra something that makes it really special :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your problems at work, I can imagine how s*cky the situation is & I hope you'll find something better asap. (I only hope the "manager" doesn't drink the beer she talks about at work?! ;-))
The trousers and crop top look great on you. Hang in there with the job till you have an alternative. There's a better one out there for you for sure.
ReplyDeleteLove the pop of spots and those trousers are great. Sorry to hear about your problems at work. What a pain. Good luck with finding something else.
ReplyDeleteI like this new midriff exposure! I wish I was brave enough to go out like this. But I am not.
ReplyDeleteYour job situation sounds terrible, but I understand what you mean about being overqualified. I applied for a bunch of jobs (no one called me back) and realized that no one cares how well you do in school or how smart you are. Unfortunate, isn't it? Maybe you're just overqualified for life.
You totally rock the crop top and those pants. I love the color too!
ReplyDeleteAwesome pants, you look fabulous!
ReplyDeletegreat pants and what an awesome picture!!! your boyfriend is seriously great at snapping shots of you!
ReplyDeletesorry about your work situation. it's such a bummer to work under someone who micromanages and doesn't know what the heck they're doing.
