 Good morning y'all, my name is Sonali. Welcome to my channel if you guys are new. Today we are going to be shopping for some big girl work clothes. I'm gonna have to find some business casual stuff. Um, and yeah, I don't, I honestly don't really know what business casual is. Can you help me? For women? Yeah. Because it's casual, so like loosely defined for women. I know, that's the, that's the issue that I'm having right now. There's like kind of like flowy or like looser slacks. Like maybe like those like kind of like Gucci looking slag things, you know? Yeah. And then like just go black. I have like work pants, so I have one work pant, but like I think I want like one more or like a dress or something. I feel like dresses are just so easy. And I really want to go to this place called Style Encore. I had it in Orlando and I was really upset that I thought I didn't have it in Austin, but like I found it and it's basically just like a Plato's Closet. I think it's like their sister's store, but it's like nicer brand. It's definitely more mature than Plato's Closet too. Like they have business work clothes and stuff like that. So I'm excited to check it out, but first we are going to First Watch. This is another place I had in Orlando and me and my friends that used to go here all the time, literally every freaking weekend we would go to First Watch and I found it here and I'm so excited to finally be going because it's actually like been on my to-do list. Like I literally have go to First Watch on my to-do list because sometimes if I don't put it like write it down somewhere, I'm like totally forget about it. So we're going to go there and then we're going to get shopping and then I have to pack because I don't think I have time tomorrow. And then I leave on Monday for Athens, Georgia. So let's get to it. We're at First Watch. I got the Elevated X sandwich. Ryan got some tacos and then some millionaire bacon. And I actually tried out the new drink they have. It's called the Blueberry Booster or Blue Booster. You usually get the Kale Tonic, but this one was really, really good. And I'm so excited. I love First Watch. So we just finished up breakfast. What did you think? Still it's not that good at all. Damn. What did you think about it? It was just a piece of egg between a bun and syrup. I think it's kind of like sticky universe. Okay, babe. I liked it and I will always like First Watch. But anyways, we are going to style Encore right now. And it's right there. The red sign. I don't know about this area. It doesn't look a little not nice. Like the nice area. What? This is a nice bar Boston. Okay. This shopping mall is just not very nice. Like this right here. Yeah. It's like old. Sometimes for like thrift stores and consignment stores, you can really tell like what's going to be in the store by looking at the area. So I don't, I really don't really know where I am right now, but hopefully we'll find some good stuff in there. So we are in style Encore and I'm looking through his pants right now, but I actually found like a lot of cute dresses. Also okay. I found a pair of really cool like gingham pants. So I'm going to try that on for you guys and for myself. And hopefully I'll find some winners. These things are priced so good and they're really good brands. Like I took a video showing you guys the brands. And J Crew, they have made well. They have towel bots. Not that I would ever really shop at towel bots, but like... So how do you say it? I think so. But basically they just have really really good brands for very discounted prices. And especially like work clothes. I try like my best to be cute and like especially because I'm not going to be working here like every single day. I'm lucky enough to like dress differently every time because they won't see me every single day. So that's nice. But yeah, I just want to be cute. Make a good impression. And let me try right back. I literally don't even know what I'm looking for honestly. But I don't know. It's going to be really cool. I think it's like I don't know if dresses are a good option, especially for this visit. But I do have one pair of pants, like I said. And I think I'm going to get another pair of pants. So we'll see. Maybe like one day would be a dress. We'll see if it fits in the dressing room. And this is my first shirt. I definitely think it would look better with a bra. But I really like these like ruffle things. I think it's really cute. And I'll just like wear it with black pants. This shirt is free people and it wouldn't be for work. I just thought it was like a really cool shirt for like a beach day or just like a pool day or something. It's very see-through as you can tell. So I definitely need to wear like a swimsuit or something under it. Like a bandeau or something. But I think it would be really cute with like ripped shorts because this is like kind of distressed on the bottom. So I don't know. I just had to show you guys. I know it's not like a workout fit, but I thought it was cute. This dress is a winner. This is so freaking cute. And it's extremely flattering because it cinches in at the waist. And obviously I would definitely button it more, but I literally have like really long nails right now. And I just cannot button things. And yes, these are my real nails. So I've just been growing them out. And I just can't do the things I used to be able to do. But this dress is amazing. I love it. I think it makes you look so good. And I'm really obsessed with it. I'm excited. And this dress is Calvin Klein and only 20 bucks. This is the next dress. It is a high neckline. And that's why I kind of picked up because I love high necks. I definitely think it would look a little bit better if I was wearing a bra, but it's okay. I really like the color. It's a beautiful red, but I feel like it's just a little too fancy. So I think I'm a pass. So this is a Zara dress and I really like it, but I think these just won't tighten enough. And it just like looks a little too big. So it's a pass. It is the next day and I'm going to start packing for my first ever official work trip. This is very exciting, but also nerve-wracking because I really don't know what to bring. I don't know like how it's going to go. So I definitely have to bring three work outfits, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday. I'm coming home on Thursday, so I don't think I'm going to be going to the office. Maybe I should like pack an extra outfit just in case. But for sure, three work outfits. I also want to try to go to Orange Stereo on there because it's literally like right next to my hotel. So I don't really have that many excuses not to go. So maybe like two workout outfits and then maybe like a couple comfy outfits just for like chilling in the hotel. Also, I kind of want to bring like a nice outfit for one night because I think I'm going to get dinner with one of my friends that still lives in Athens, Georgia. So first I think I'm going to clean up in here and just like get everything out of my sight and then start bringing out the things I need. Apologies for the dirty mirror, but I'm going to quickly show you guys the work outfits I'm going to be bringing. So this is the shirt I got from Style Encore yesterday. Definitely looks a hundred percent better with a bra on. These are the work pants that I think they're from like Nasty Gal or Boo Hoo. I literally got them so long ago when I thought I was getting a job like right after graduation. These have been sitting in my closet for a while but I've actually used them quite a bit for like photography gigs because obviously you kind of have to dress like an all black or professional. So these are so freaking comfy. They basically feel like leggings but they're actually like work pants. They have fake pockets in the back but they have a real pocket on the side which is nice. And then I have these flats which I just got from I want to say Walmart or Target. I think Target, no just kidding. I'm pretty sure it was Walmart. Again I had to wear them for some professional photography gigs. The shoes were super cheap. The pants were super super cheap. And then the shirt yesterday I got it for I think I want to say like 15 or 16 dollars. So I mean it's a really nice brand. It's very nice quality and I'm super happy with it. This is the next shirt. I didn't show you guys this yesterday because I didn't get it yesterday but I did get it thrifting. And it's a Zara shirt. And I think it's just so flattering because it has like a tighter look on the top but then it flows out into this little pretty like baby doll top. And I would just pair it with like the same pants and shoes. I didn't end up buying those gingham pants and I didn't end up showing them because they looked really really bad. They just did not fit like in the right places like they fit. They were stretchy but they just did not look good. They accentuated some not so great parts. But yeah so I think this could be another option and I definitely plan on dressing it up like with a lot of like accessories jewelry stuff like that. Good news guys. I actually totally forgot that I had a pair of gingham pants but I just remember like in the summer they didn't really fit but I forgot that I lost weight so hello. These look so cute with this top so I'm really happy that I won't have to wear like the same pants. Like it wouldn't have been a huge problem because they're black anyways but it's just nice to wear something different. So I'm really happy I found these because they're also really really stretchy. And also I bought these out of their stores. So don't underestimate your local Goodwill's, Plato's Closet, Style and Chords, like anything like that. Especially if you're in the mid to shop like you can find some super great things in there for really low prices. I'm going to be totally honest with you guys. I'm not going to try this one on again because I tried it on yesterday and I have the longest nails and it just like it's very hard to button. Like I'm going to spend like 20 minutes in the morning buttoning this thing. And yes, I do need to cut my nails down but they're just so pretty. Like I don't know comment down below. Should I keep them long or cut them short? I just really like the look of long nails. And these are my real nails. I think I told you guys yesterday but I feel like there's not that much I can't do but like buttoning things is one thing I cannot do with long nails. Not that I have to do that very often. Luckily, what else is something I can't do? Oh, sometimes like pushing the seat belt thing to let go of my seat belt. Like that's kind of hard because I don't want to break my nail and like just push my nail into it. So I have to like take my finger to the side and push it. I don't know. Anyways, maybe it's time that I cut my nails but they're just so long and pretty. They usually always pack with my packing cubes and I think I'm just going to put my work clothes in like the smaller one and then the comfy clothes with everything else and the bigger one. But I also still have to wash the ones that we just got outside on course so I'm gonna do that now. And then I also have an event that I'm photographing in like an hour so I have to prepare for that. So I'll try to come back and let me show you guys just like the finished product of packing. I am back home from photographing the event and now I am just finishing up packing. The whites are still in the dryer but I am gonna do some toiletries now. I kind of already started but I'll bring you guys along. I'm actually gonna fill up the travel bottles because I just hate, hate, hate, hate, hotel conditioner and shampoo normally. So, you know, I never can chance it. I just think this conditioner, yeah. Perfect. I'm actually mixing two but I mean it shouldn't be that big of a deal. This one's lotion and I feel like it has enough. So I put it in this little bag just in case it's filled anywhere. It'll be safe. I'm also bringing my razor but I need to get a little refill thing. I got these at Sam's Club, like a huge pack of just refills and it's just so nice. I feel like I have button razors and so freaking long. So that's so amazing. So I'm just gonna actually put that in here because it's kind of wet. I always check in a bag like I just can't do a carry-on. So that is why I'm bringing razors and liquids and all that. I feel like I'm forgetting so much. I don't know. I think I need to look on Pinterest and just look at it packing-less. I think I'm gonna end the vlog here. You guys get the gist like I just packed the normal stuff. Nothing too exciting but I'm so excited to go to Athens, Georgia and start my job. My real post-grad first job and it's just gonna be very exciting and nerve-wracking like I said but I know it's gonna be great and it's gonna be like really nice to just be in a familiar city again. Like I honestly thought the last time I would be in Athens ever would be like Ryan's graduation. So it's cool I'm going back and I have a lot of places that I want to eat in Athens so I hope I get to do that. I plan on vlogging my first work week in my life so hopefully that happens but no promises. I'll see y'all in my next video. Bye!
