Let's Play Dress-Up!

Who isn't excited to work? A lot of people, I surmise.
As for me, I'm laughing in my sleep with excitement.
I can't hardly wait to start working!

Being that I'm on a special kind of visa, there are certain kinds of limitations that come with it.

1. Marry within 90 days of your arrival
BUM AROUND...
2. Apply for your Social Security Number (SSN) - (This can be done before or after the marriage but I elected to wait until after the marriage to avoid hassle.) and also, a State I.D.
The last chance to apply for a SSN is when you receive the two year green card.
3. File your Adjustment of Status
BUM AROUND...
4. Work upon receiving your Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card
WOOPIEDOO!

Since my family is permeated with my eagerness to work, Jordan's aunt gave me a wonderful present.
An Erin Fetherston dress! 


dress: Erin Fetherston
belt: Nordstrom

flower head wrap: Viancz Closet (Philippines)
earrings: Good Shepherd Night Market (Philippines)

 It dawned on me how bare my face looks. I tried on the outfit just to see what accessories I could match it with.

One of my favorite party dresses was given to me by my mom. I know, this is absolutely not office wear but isn't it pretty? I believe that the sequins makes the outfit "pop".

 

Oh, yes! My winter gloves. :)



How's everyone doing?
Get your cumfy shoes on for Black Friday!

  6. I'm envious of your ability to look adorable... and to wear super short dresses.

    And hoorah for work! I think people should stop complaining about work. In most economies in this world, it's hard to find a job. We've got to take what we can get, so, woohoo for being employed.

    And, also, who says that dress isn't office apparel? I'd glam out and be like "Yeah, I'm awesome. What of it?"

    :)

  9. Super hearting your headband and winter gloves, all are FAB! I know how waiting for this status thing can be a bummer! I remember my time where the first thing I did in the morning was checking the immigration website!

    Have an endless fun weekend! (:

  10. I LOVE playing dress up. Some days I get in the mood of playing dress up before I go to work and ended up late for work. I want that BELT!

  11. @evey Thank you! I'm so happy! Are you working? Jordan's aunt is amazing because she treats me like a sister.

    AWW! You made me blush. :P

    @Jemina Thank you! For day and night. lol.

    @Christina in Wonderland Oh believe me, I had to muster a lot of guts to wear that dress! This is the first time I've worn a dress that short. :))

    I know what you mean about that. Since I'm new here, I'll take what I can get and I'm glad that there are vast opportunities out there. If there weren't any, I'd go to school.

    I think I'll keep the leopard dress for clubbing. :P

    @Susie Thank you! <3

    @Sanny Thank you! I love my leopard! Faux fur, of course! I would never touch nor wear real fur. :s Seriously? It gets frustrating, right? I hope that it ends soon! Have a great weekend, Sanny!

    @Dhila Me too! Majority of the time, I look so plain. Since I'm away from my siblings, I thought to myself, "Why not?". lol. Nordstrom has amazing belts! <3 I only get to play dress up when there's not much household chores to do. lol. Dress up before work? SILLY! :))

  20. @sexylegsandbody Thanks, Colin! I appreciate you passing by!

    @iamchibee AWW! Is it hot in the Philippines right now? It's getting chilly in California so I can't wear that dress outside without freezing to death. :s

    @dazzlelight91 I guess it's the Asian in me! :)) I seriously don't like my hair. It doesn't have body at all. :))
