Let It Be A Sweet, Sweet Sound.

It's nearly 1:30 am. My right leg is sore, my right ankle is hurting, and my nose has never been any more unnecessarily congested. I'm sitting on my full-sized bed tired from an 8-hour shift of selling shoes. I guess working in retail you start to realize their are more cons of Black Friday. The endless amount of customers walking through the doors who constantly fish a better discount than the one we already offer. I should also mention the type of customers who look at the price tag, yet still ask me how much the shoe is. All of this I have to deal with just to earn a little bit more than minimum wage. Maybe, I can find a better job than this. However, I love it here. The co-workers are great, but...I love the employee discounts, too. Being a part-time sales associate and a full time student can get slightly stressful at times. As an English major, I'm required to write an endless amount of creative, critical, and analytic pieces to earn a grade. It's honestly enjoy...

I respect you because wearing you gives me respect. You aren’t just an accessory or a required article of clothing for a job interview. You’re more than the missing piece of a jigsaw puzzle. You’re the definition of dapper. You droop down so elegantly from my collar. You come in a wide variety of shapes, styles, sizes: a wool-knit skinny blue with white stripes, a madra medium sized green with a gold tie clip, and, of course, the classic silk black. I treat you with utmost care and delicacy. Throwing a solid color on a solid shirt would be a demeaning action. Seeing different patterns and textures come together is like a chef’s signature dish containing various flavors to create the perfect taste. There’s nothing like you on my outfit that could ever compliment everything so sharply.
