In my world there is no 9-5...
There's a 5-2, a 9-6, or a 11-8... That's no way to make a living!
Today I had my first morning shift at KG, I woke up at 3am and it's now 3.45pm and surprisingly I'm still awake. I'm loving working at the shop, selling something I love whilst talking to all the excited people off on their holidays, talk about job satisfaction haha. :)
The ONLY downside of the job (and I mean only; I can deal with the 4 flights of stairs for each pair of shoes a customer wants to try on; I can deal with catching the bus at 4am) is that wearing heels is compulsory at KG. Now if you know me then you'll know that when I go out even if everyone else is wearing flats, I'll be that girl strolling around in the heels; I just hate wearing flats. BUT when you are on your feet for 8+ hours solid then heels are a nightmare, combine that with the 50 times up and down the stairs (no need for gym membership, bum and legs are toned for free!!!) at the end of the day, my feet HURT. Like excruciating pain! (If anyone has any tips for preventing this- chuck 'em my way please!)
Onto brighter news...
These are my new work shoes, they make look a little 'frumpy' or not so sexy but they're practical for me. They're a 3.9inch heel, but they have a teeny platform to make them more comfortable for moi! And I love the contrast of the patent platform and strap to the suede part of the shoe. Sounds like I'm trying to sell them to you! Haha!
Sorry that this post has been entirely about KG + work, I haven't really had much of a life at the moment as I've been working (clocked up 36 hours in the past 4 days- go me! got myself some nifty commission too!) I have one more early tomorrow then I can actually start wearing non-uniform clothes again and maybe get some outfit photos up for you girls!
Hope the blogworld is fantastico for you, miss it lots. This is the first time I've switched my lappytop on in days! XOXO AVS

Aww, sad you have to wear heels all day. But at least you're working somewhere you love so that's awesome. I can't even manage to walk in stilettos so i'd have to live in wedge heels

Gosh, your uniform sounds much better than mine! Sounds like a perfeckkk job for you though, although I have no idea how you manage those flights of stairs! xo
I love those work shoes, don't look frumpy to me at all :)
