Mommy, WOW. I'm a big kid now!

Today I start the first salaried job of my life.  Not only will I have a steady income for the first time complete with strange benefits I don't understand, but I'll have a set daily schedule for the first time in over 4 years.  Granted, my set schedule will differ from most due to my industry and particular position, but a set schedule nonetheless.  And I am not only beyond thrilled to begin, but nervous as hell!

So you vets of the real world - any advice to quell my rookie anxieties?

Aside from the fact that the title of this post is exactly what I'm feeling inside, I'm also feeling overwhelmingly joyed.  I came to New York hoping to break into the luxury fashion industry and in less than 3 months I did exactly that.  So allow me to pat myself on the back for a moment.  Okay, selfish indulgence over.

On to some pretty -

Angelina Jolie's Oscar gown this year, perhaps?

If only I could wear THIS on my first day...

I mean, c'mon.  It doesn't get any better than black and leather.  N'est-ce pas?
