Monday Funday

Shoes: Walmart
Skirt: Forever 21
Shirt: Some store in Italy

Yet another glowing picture I'd be willing to make my profile picture on facebook. Woot! Hah, like my glue poster in the background? =p

This skirt is a little crayzay. It has this extra ruffle, but it's got a slit all the way up to the waistband. Most of the time it overlaps itself and doesn't open up, but as a teacher, especially one who crouches alot, you can never be too careful, so I wore cropped leggings under it!

Though I'm kinda sentimental about this shirt since I bought it while studying abroad, it is rather stiff and fits a little loose. (I weighed about 15 lbs heavier when I got it, having been gorging myself on wine and pasta for 3 months...) Hmm. Maybe this one will get taken out of rotation for now.


Also, I've decided to test the waters and introduce my little blog to the world and join a link up. If you found me, I'd love any comments or feedback!

Weekend Weather

Oooh fall has whispered hello to us this weekend. Nice and cool. I LOVED putting on jeans and a long sleeve shirt. Extra bonus was returning to an old church, loving the service, and having some awesome fellowship out at lunch with friends. Doesn't hurt that my hair was rockin out with it's bad curly self either.

Jeans: Old Navy
Top: "Penneys" in Ireland

Spirit Wear

Friday is spirit wear day at work. So this is one of my school t-shirts. It was cold and rainy and dark and dreary when I woke up and I didn't really care that I was in a t-shirt. There. I said it!

The best part of this honestly had to be my hair, I tried a sock bun for the first time and it turned out nice. Can't tell from the front, and didn't have a mirror and couldn't get a good shot of the back by myself to save my life. Oh well!

Shoes: Walmart, really old
Capris: NY and Co
Shirt: Work

I got my new shoes on

I think that's a line from a song, no? Anywho.

A day in the life of a elementary school teacher. I had to run clear across the playground while on recess duty today because a kid had already pulled about 10 feet of that street tar straight up out of the blacktop, and didn't show signs of stopping. Yep. never a dull moment.

On a different note, I feel like my legs always look weird. What's up with my veiny ankles? Also, I was pleasantly surprised by these flats. Yes, they rubbed a little in the heel and I wore a bandaid, but they are new so I'm not surprised there. Otherwise, pretty comfy.  My hair is back to it's wild natural can't be tamed self. See that piece stickin out all cuckoo? Heh.

Flats: Walmart
Capris: Burlington Coat Factory
Top: Banana Republic Outlet

Kinda Casual

While I like these shorts, and these shoes, these Pumas are flaking much like the other dreaded white Pumas. I've had them since my high school graduation (9 years ago, wait, what?). Maybe its time they move on to a new home and I buy new shoes. I look like I should be out on a picnic or something.

In other news, I like this sparkly top coat stuff that I got this summer. It changes color in the light. I'm really into doing my nails, I'll probably also document that here now too.

Pumas: Gift. Way Old.
Shorts: JCPenney
Shirt: Kohls

Seeing stripes

I got a couple of comments today that I looked cute. The p.e. teacher said my shirt made him go crosseyed. Hah.

Oooh yeah, check out that straight hair. Haven't straightened it more than a few times since last May. Kinda used to seeing myself with curly/crazy hair now, so it looks kinda funny now when it's straight. =p Definitely feels pretty though. Did surprisingly well in the high humidity too.

Shoes: Black Flats from Walmart
Pencil Skirt: Gordmans
Top: Banana Republic Outlet
Earrings: Fake Pearls, Claires

Skirts Galore

You know, I look my best in these more "business-y" type outfits. The rest of last week was so crazy busy I didn't have time to post any of the outfits. I'm making use of all the skirts in my closet since it is still a thousand degrees and the school has no a/c in my part of the building.

WEDNESDAY 29th

Yeah, the sneaker skirt combo has to die. And I don't think I'm such a fan of this jean skirt anymore. Oh well. Oh yeah, and my hair looks awful. Hmm. This outfit is really not doing a THING for my figure. I look like a sack of potatos...

Sneakers: Sketchers
Skirt: Way Old. Aeropostale I think
Shirt: Old Navy via Platos Closet

Earrings: Ten Thousand Villages (Fair Trade type store)

THURSDAY 30th
Looking back on this, I look nice! Outfit win. Hah, look at me bein all pose-tastic.  I really like this skirt! I thought it was too fancy for working in a school. I dreamed of wearing it to work at an office or go to a business meeting when I bought it. I did go to a district meeting in it though, so at least I looked really good for it. Hah. Also, this skirt has pockets. That makes it 100 times more awesome.

I debated the whole adding of the belt, since it was a little more turquoise than actual light blue, but I thought to hell with it as I'm trying to fancy up the outfits, I'd just go for it. Plus, it was a good place to clip my badge. =p

Sandals: Shoe Carnival
Skirt: H&M (very recent) P.S It has pockets!
Belt: Came with a pair of other pants
Shirt: New York and Co
Earrings: New York and Co

I feel like this is a good photo of me. I might
even make it a FB profile pic? Heh

Earrings: Little balls o sparkle

FRIDAY 31st. 


Cuz I wasn't about to wear that staff shirt again... Love the color of this one. Rockin a ponytail like this is definitely not  flattering. This was a stressful day at work. The new evaluation reality hit me in the face during a meeting with my boss. It wasn't a bad meeting, I've just got a lot of work to do. The new tool is pretty intense.  Also, I will be evaluated 5 times before February because of this new tool. I also had to write up 4 kindergarteners today. Sigh.

Shoes: TJ Maxx
Skirt: Wet Seal
Shirt:Kohls
Necklace: Couldn't tell ya
