Deca, We Mean Business

This year my bestie theminnesotamiss.blogspot.com or Haley and I decided to join Deca. It's definitely been a rollercoaster of feelings about this business club. If I could describe my Deca experience in one word it would be, awkward. It was full of awkward encounters with other members and awkward meetings and most of all districts was two full days of awkward. I'm glad I joined though, I learned a lot about... everything really. If you are in Deca, we did an advertising campaign where you write a really long drawn out paper that nobody even reads. We did L.L. Bean because it's the best company out there. We also did a buying and merchandising role play which was 30 minutes of making stuff up and 10 minutes of bullshitting it. Maybe it was just an off year but, theminnesotamiss.blogspot.com and I are officialy done with Deca.


I think the real reason I joined Deca was so I could look cute in business clothes, let's be honest. I don't do dresses and maybe thats because I haven't found the one that fits me but I love the way dress pants look, if they fit right. Mine are from The Loft and my button up is Banana Republic and I don't think I could love this classic piece any more. Black and white is classic, but boring so I switched it up, thanks to theminnesotamiss.blogspot.com I have a lovely grey blazer from Banana Republic. I'm already tallish enough so black flats from target will do. To top it I wore a lovely, and classic monogrammed necklace.
