IKEA Days

I started my job as a dishwasher (sounds like lots of fun and it is, aight?) at the IKEA food court here in Ghent on Thursday. It's not that bad. I mean, you have to work really hard for eight hours a day but most of my coworkers are nice (we're one big IKEA Family, okay?) and when you're on break, you can stuff your face with all the food you like. You know what I'm talking about. Svenska köttbullar, all day long. As a bonus, you're reminded why you enrolled at university on a daily basis. No, it genuinely is a nice place to work and I have immense respect for the people who do this throughout the entire year for I couldn't do that.

In my days off and even before then, I've been wearing nothing but this dress. It's quite true to the wishlist in my last post and true to how I feel like dressing as of late. Simple and sweet. From age six to twelve, I was basically covered in H&M all the time. In the last couple of years I hardly bought anything there but in the last few months alone I've picked up four items that I'm absolutely fond of. I don't know whether it's H&M stepping up its game or me being more of a thrifter/selective person but I'm thrilled!

Their pre-fall collection has all the kinds of mustard sixties frocksto woo any girl's heart but I'm content with one dress from this collection as I've still got my wishlist (minus a few changes) on my mind. I've never been so focused to stick to it as I am now. It might have helped that I saw one particular fruity A.P.C. sweatshirt in person, but, hey, what gives? - x
