A Hectic Few Weeks

So I have just finished a two week work placement at Matalan, working in the children's wear buying department. I am exhausted. But it was great, and I know I definitely want to be a buyer (which is just as well really.) I got to sit in on meetings with jeans suppliers, helped with approvals for different ranges, created colour palettes and helped with fitting different samples so I learnt a lot.  I also found out that an hour and a half commute both ways to work is horrendous. So now to find an actual job!

I bought this aaamazing Zara jacket as a "well done you survived" present to myself which arrived today. It almost makes it all worth it! I saw someone at Matalan wearing it and trawled the internet until I found it :)  Even the sticker on the packaging was lovely- it feels like summer has finally arrived.
