Interview Outfit // Chanel Jacket

Normally, I'm one who would wear a new purchase right away - right out of the store or box if possible!  But for some reason, I saved this jacket to wear for a special occasion and the perfect opportunity popped up last week.jacket CHANEL* {super cute} // sweater JCREW* // jeans LOFT // necklace and earrings PREMIER {similar} //bracelets THRIFTED, GIFTED, STELLA & DOT // rings OUI ETSY, GIFTED //pearl booties VALENTINO {McQueen Dream and wallet-friendly} // kelly bag HERMES* //sunglasses KAREN WALKER

We got a call from the adoption agency to formally start our home study process with individual interviews!  I was ELATED and so nervous at the same time.  Tons of things were flying through my mind - what questions are they going to ask, how long is the Q&A session, will they like us, am I going to pass this interview?!  When my friend E* asked what I was going to wear, THE jacket popped into mind.
Anyhow, I hope the interview went well.  They ask all kinds of questions - about my personality, the spouse, childhood, discipline, family, etc.  My interview ended up lasting 2 hours {she had said usually between 45 - 75 minutes} and Mr. S's was about 1 hour.  Maybe I talk too much!  The next step is the actual home study where they do a joint interview and check out the house.  *Breathes deeply*

P.S. Sorry if I've been MIA on your blogs, email, or social media lately.  I'm trying to get lots of things in order!
