I was interviewing for a super-specialized fellowship-type position and it took almost a full year, 100+ applications, and several interviews before one panned out, and I am just so relieved. I was also lucky enough to find something that will be in commuting distance of NYC so it turned out super-well for my needs.

I think it might have been a discontinued style (mother of pearl textured face instead of a smooth white face) and the base price was 99.99 rather than 125.99. I think it might be good to keep an eye on Skagen's website and Amazon for discounted styles. <br /><br />MyHabit actually had a sale on Skagen watches a week or two after I bought mine, and maybe the sale event will come back at some future time!Xin @ Invincible Summerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06880478894796779040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4597817731016340045.post-70465829343279208202015-03-05T19:11:35.573-05:002015-03-05T19:11:35.573-05:00I've been looking for a classic watch just lik...I've been looking for a classic watch just like your Skagen!

I've seen a decent number of dresses on RealReal or Thredup for about 75-100 base price with the option for discount codes on top of that, which is great! It can be hard to find one in a specific size or a more universally appealing print, but I like colors so this one was a good choice for me.

Sadly, I don't think the S or XS is available online or at the Uniqlo brick and mortar store I went to! I'm somewhat between sizes for Uniqlo, so sizing up to an M for a slouchier fit is normally an option for me. I like that the stripes don't cover the whole shirt because horizontal stripes can be a bit weird on my figure.

And that watch is so lovely - a great celebratory gift to yourself :)<br /><br />Of course, the first thing I saw in your photo was the striped shirt, which I need like I need a hole in my head. But Uniqlo makes great stuff. And actually, that reminds me that I have a friend who works for the company that owns them...I really need her to hook me up with a discount.
