African peacock?

Two people  told me on the day that I wore this that I looked like a peacock. Hmm

 Pants: Bergners
Top: custom made by seamstress in Africa
Cardigan: Old Navy

What's so interesting down there on the ground, you ask? No idea...

 

This shirt and I go way back to my study abroad trip in Benin.  We all had shirts made from the same fabric. I wish I had a photo on this computer to link, but alas, it's from many years ago and stored somewhere on my external hard drive, and I just don't have the energy to go digging that up.

Bullying Prevention

Today is supposed to be bullying awareness/prevention....by wearing blue. (It's a school thing?) So, here is my seriously over blue outfit with blue scarf, blue sweater, and blue jeans. And purple shoes just because.

Jeans: Denizen by Lee via Target
Sweater: Old Navy (last season)
Scarf: Thrifted

Linking up with Let It Shine

Heat Wave

I ended up taking off the grey cardigan I wore with this today about five minutes after I got to work. I meant to take a photo with the cardigan too, but then I was in a rush to change out of my work clothes and forgot, and I'm not changing again- too lazy! HAH! Keepin it real folks.

Shoes: Sketchers
Navy Pants: American Eagle Outlet
Tank: NY&Co Outlet
Necklace: Murano glass from Venice Italy

I can't decide if I'm loving my long hair, or hating my long hair....I secretly want to chop it off and get side bangs a la Reece Witherspoon.

Comfy shoes kind of a must. I love that flats come in cute colors but honestly, my feet hurt after a long day even in sneakers. Wish I could sit at a desk all day in an office and wear heels. Or just have any kind of stamina to wear heels for more than one hour. Oh well.

I got the blues

I've had this sequin top in my closet with the tags on for at least 4 or 5 months. I hadn't worn it because one, it was way in the back and I forgot it was there (my bad) and two, it seemed too fancy and I had nowhere to wear it. But, my coworker had a sequin top the other day, so I figured, why not? And I really like this outfit. I could probably step it up even further by wearing a skirt.

I feel pretty stuck in my rut of black dress slacks. I tried to find some pixie pants at Old Navy, but all the cute colors and patterns only came in ankle length. Boo. (Am I the only one who HATES ankle pants?) My sneaky plan that I am testing is ordering the ankle pants in "tall" from the website, I'm crossing my fingers they might turn out like a straight leg normal length pant. We shall see...

New year, fresh inspiration

Now, I know it's August, and it's not a new year in the calendar sense, but as a teacher, new year means school year. A friend of mine from work and I went outlet mall shopping over the weekend and the topic of my blog came up. I showed her some of my old outfits (ones I never wore last year) and she told me I totally need to do the blog again if it helped me feel inspired because my outfits were super cute. (Aww, shucks)

Soooo... here we are. I still can't figure out a convenient photo snapping location here in my new(ish) apartment, and of course yesterday it was stormy out and my place had terrible lighting. Ohhhh well.
 

Today alot of people commented that my outfit matched so much!, and I can't decide if that's a good thing or means it's toooo matchy matchy. Ya know what I mean? I also got two compliments on my necklace, with one of my coworkers saying I always have the best necklaces.

So,  I have do say, maybe this whole, getting back into the blog and going back to putting more thought into my outfits is not such a bad idea....

Wow, that was a pretty terrible run on sentence, eh?

Take no mind of the smudges that won't come off the mirror...
