Too Tired To Shop!

Dress: Talbots
Belt: J Crew
Bracelet: Gap Factory
Shoes: Old

I'm so tired today, I couldn't even shop.

I popped into the mall after school to get a "finished my first days of teaching treat" but was too tired to make the rounds. I did, however, muster the energy to pop into Sephora and pick up this. Let's hope it works like everyone on the interwebs claims.

My Feet Miss Flip Flops

Today was my first day of teaching for the year. I wore what I thought were my comfiest school shoes. Boy, was I wrong. Standing on your feet all day is hard! My feet miss flip flops!

I Wish I Was a Housewife

Dress: Land's End
Belt: J Crew
Necklace: J Crew wannabe via EBay

One of our school's EAs told me today that I looked just like "a housewife from the 1950s".

My response was, "I WISH I was a housewife."

This working thing is killing me.

August Purchases

I destroyed my budget this month. 

It started off with two Edie bags and continued on with a trip to Maine for Outlet shopping. Then a friend had a Lia Sophia party so of course I had to buy lots of treasures. And then our local Bay store closed and I scooped up lots of deals for 70%, 80% and finally 90% off.

A few things made it into the polyvore that I use to keep track of my spending but there are a lot missing.

I have no idea how much I spent this month but I know it is a lot. And I know if I add it up, it will scare me and anger RDog.

So I'm going to let the August budget go and start fresh with September. And you better bet that I will be below budget for September.

I'm going to go hug my Edie bags now.

Cranky Photographer

Dress: Charter Club
Belt: J Crew
Shoes: Naturalizer

I don't know what on earth "Charter Club" is but when I saw this dress at the thrift store, I prayed it would fit me. It's a shirt dress, which I love. The paisley pattern reminded me of all the paisley J Crew has going on, which I also love.  I tried it on, despite being two sizes too big and petite. Low and behold, it was a pretty good fit. It just need a little belting.Yah for 4 dollar dresses.

Yah also for morning lighting. Yes, I pushed RDog out of bed this morning to take this pictures. This habit works way better for my schedule, I just hope I can get him on board. He was a pretty cranky photographer this morning. I'm just asking him to get up ten minutes earlier (7:50am, instead of 8am). That's not too crazy right?

Tomorrow is Another Day

Blouse: Ricki's
Skirt: Cassis
Bracelet: Banana Republic Factory
Shoes: Naturalizer

Today was my second day back at work. Boo! The first day was not exciting fashion wise. It was a case of "let's get some clothes on my body and get to school on time."

Usually during the school year, I wait for RDog to come home at night to take my pictures (and then I promptly put on pjs). But sometimes he can come home really late and I get impatient so I thought we should try morning pictures instead. I thought this would avoid the inevitable wrinkles from a long day and hoped it would inspire me to work out in that space between when I get home and RDog arrives.

So I pushed RDog out of bed this morning and made him to the photo thing. I ended up with a wrinkly skirt and when I came home, I ate a piece of ice cream birthday cake instead of exercising.

Oh well, tomorrow is another day.
