A zebra can't change its stripes.

Last night I went to a cafe in town as a little send off to the Polish exchange students who have been staying with my friends for the past month. The little cafe served gelato which was so delicious and such a great way to end a hot day! Especially a day like yesterday! The senior class banded together and turned our parking lot into a beach! Including sand. We all sat around outside, broke out the swimsuits, tanned, ate hot dogs, water ice, listened to music (played over speakers!). It was amazing. Then to top it all off that night I applied for a job with at the Cafe. I even spoke to the owner who was so nice! Hopefully they'll offer me a job since I don't think the Macy's job worked out.

Today was a "dress down day," a day when the student body is allowed to break out of the monotony of polo's and khakis, button ups and kilts. The special occasion was "spring" so I decided to wear my striped yellow mini dress. Tonight I'm going to a film festival for student film makers. A few friends from school have a short movie in the festival so I'm eager to support them as well as see the other films.

p.s. look at how much paler the back of my legs are than the front of my legs thanks to tanning at the parking lot "beach"

Teenagers need not apply.

jacket: Argentina; tank: J Crew; skirt: Gap; shoes: UO

I had my first real job interview on Sunday! Like almost all teenagers (and about 9% of Americans) I am looking for new income opportunities. Ideally I could get a great summer job at some sort of chain retail location and then I'd be able to transfer to another location in Boston where I'll be attending college. The store where I interviewed Sunday magically fit that criteria! Must be the magic of Macy's!

I think the interview went well, so hopefully they'll need some extra help over the summer. I've also tried to find jobs in other more local stores, but its not really the best time to be entering the work force. I tried my best to appear "work appropriate." This is something I'll have to become accustom to as I begin an internship at a magazine in Philadelphia next month as the last leg of my High School career. I would have liked to wear sandals with this outfit but I once heard they're not good in an office setting.
