It took me a minute to figure out. The only way I can get it to work is to upload photos to Webshots (or any hosting site), then click that little picture of a mountain in the toolbar and enter the url, copied. Make sure that when you click the "insert picture" button you clear that blank before you paste the link. Sometimes if you've copied the url but accidentally leave the http: that's already in the box it won't work.

That's what I had to do.

Right click on the picture, if the option to "copy link location" is there, select that. Then when you push the picture icon, just hit paste.

If the "copy link location" is not an option, click "properties" then highlight and copy the IMAGE URL...the problem is you are probably using the URL at the top of the page...you need the IMAGE location or the IMAGE URL.

If I could right click, that's what I'd do.

On a Mac? Ctrl + click.

Everyone is doing summer recruitment. I thought i'd post for winter recruitment, which i went through. Day 1 at my school is the philanthropy round.The first day is more casual and pnms wear jeans. I have 2 examples of outfits a pnm could wear.

[Alumiyum]

Oh man now I'm gonna have to do winter outfits. Polyvore is my new favorite way to make work go faster. I really like that purple shirt.

[perfectinpurple]

Wooohooo!! Success!!

Thanks for all the help you guys!

Heads up if any PNM's are reading this...gap has some REALLY cute skirts on sale right now. My local store still had a good range of sizes, but the online store has them as well.

how high is too high?
I have a dress that I am in loooove with and i REALLY want to wear for preferance (provided I get asked back somewhere) but it's a dress which NEEDS black heels if you know what i mean.
the only black heels I own are patent leather, stilleto (I guess) like thin heeled - not too clued up on the names and black. But I don't think their trashy... their like classic black heels. I can walk in them, they are super comfortable but I don't know if their too high, their like 4 inches, maybe 3? they have a platform in the front. I'm short and they make my stubby legs look longer... which is why I own them... but not sure if they are approrpiate. I do have some black and grey shoes that would work that are maybe half an inch shorter and have thicker heels too but have a t-strap which doesn't look as good with this dress but they look okay.

Personally, I think that's fine if the dress is conservative. I have a lot of heels that are that tall because I'm short, too and also think my legs look stubby without them...if the outfit is conservative (not super tight, low cut, very short, etc.), they just look like high heels. If the outfit is a little on the going-out-clubbing side, they look very different.

Here's my suggestion: Bring them in and ask your Recruitment Counselors if they would be appropriate. They'll be able to tell you what's ok on your campus. If they think the shoes aren't appropriate, wear your grey shoes. Or if you have time and a little extra cash see if there's a place like Target or TJMaxx in your area and find some different black heels for cheap.

its conservative, i don't wear "going out" clothes haha. It's got a ballerina like skirt that hits just above the knees and by ballerina I don't mean sticky out tutu but like the skirty-tulle thing if that makes sense.
But thanks for your advice I probably will do that!

Sounds cute...when in doubt ask the RC's. Ideally, they've already been prepped on how to help you with clothing questions, because you won't be the only one asking!

[PNM20]

Oh my, I love this. I wish I had this the last time I rushed at my old school. Could you by any chance sticky this? What I wore was fine for my school. But so many people are confused on how many options of clothing they can have.
