I have news. Big news.
I found the most perfect next step in my career and it will be taking me to Chicago. It’s a bittersweet feeling to leave a place that has been home for so long and a community of amazing people I love to pieces, but I’m excited for what’s up ahead. The move and position is perfectly aligned with my interests! I’ll get into details later, but my new marketing position will be with Kie & Kate and I’ll be responsible for launching the new online boutique.

In other news, I promise I styled this outfit before I saw Late Afternoon’s post. Ha! I like how she styled hers better. I had been itching to try more maxi skirts and when this was only $5, I couldn‘t pass it up.

Lansing's loss, Chicago's gain. You deserve it! You've been working hard at three major interests (day job, photography, fashion blogging) since we met in 2009 and it's about time you were able to follow your passion in career-form! Congratulations Andrea!!
Vanessa says

Sara Renee says
you wil love it! and it's really a perfect distance – enough to feel new and exciting with different creative opportunities, yet still decidedly midwest, a quick trip from home, and when you live somewherelike Chicago home tends to come visit you lots as well. Good luck!
Elissa says
Congrats on the new job! Chicago is such a vibrant place to live. I'm thrilled for you – so few people get the opportunity to work somewhere that they truly love.

Congratulations! A new city and advancing your career – well done!
You know, I really want to jump on the maxi skirt bandwagon, but every time I put one on, it's just…wrong. You, on the other hand, look gorgeous as usual. I am seriously in love with that jacket!

Lucy, Dear Fish says
Ahhh! So many congratulations! Your job sounds perfect for you…fashion and marketing! I'm sure Chicago is going to be aaaamazing and that you'll love it, but I can totally understand why you would be sad to leave Lansing behind. I loved visiting you there and going out to breakfast, it is such a beautiful place.
It's going to be so exciting for you to explore Chicago and discover all of your favorite coffee shops, bars, parks, and stores. I'm so excited for you!
