how old am i?

So, I was sitting in a meeting the other day and I started looking around the conference table and feeling very self-conscious about a padfolio I probably purchased my sophomore year of college.

Here it is.

Does that scream 23 year-old Communications Coordinator for the Pendleton Chamber of Commerce to you?

I think it screams, "I'm 12, teehee, just try to take me seriously!!!"

Seriously, velcro???!!! Can I tie my shoes yet?

So, I didn't even take it up to a lunch meeting with the Economic Development & Governmental Affairs committee last Friday.

I need to find me something great and professional, but still me. Something like this.

Any donations or gifts would be gladly accepted. And I have yet to purchase the bag mentioned here. Talk about self-control! 

Oh, how I long to look the part...
