Crazy Like That

Although you probably can't see it, my shoes have a leopard print that is very similar to my sweater. I'm wearing two animals prints today cause I'm crazy like that. :P

It feels like forever since I've done an outfit post. Crazy things have been gong on at my work lately so I had some time at home. It's nothing do to with me personally. I just work in a really old building that needed emergency repairs. My daily outfits for the past week have consisted of painting clothes or Juicy suits. Today I was back at it and kind of glad to be wearing my "work uniform" again.

Uniform Rut

Cardigan: J CRew
Tank: Forever 21 but purchased because it reminded me of a J Crew top
Skirt: The Bay
Shoes: The Bay

This outfit is my typical uniform: pencil skirt, tank, and cardi. It works for me but as I look at my pictures from the last week, I realize I have to be careful not to get stuck in a uniform rut.

Me and the Lamp Post

Cardigan: J Crew

Me and the Trees

Dress: Cassis
Belt: Forever 21
Shoes: Cole Haan

It's great having a covered veranda. I can take pictures outside while it's raining! And there are no creepy neighbors are around to stare at me. I just have the trees for company.

Fall is here and I use run-on sentences.

Cardigan: J Crew
Blouse: Forever 21
Skirt: Ann Taylor Loft
Shoes: Naturalizer - Worn for the first time today, which wasn't a good idea on my part. My feet haven't got used to not being in flip flops. Subjecting them to new shoe pain was not wise on my part.

This outfit was inspired/copied from Kendi over at Kendi Everyday. I basically copied her outfit, lost the belt (too paranoid about the wine weight I gained over the summer) and added a cardigan because the temperature here has fallen 20 degrees (Celsius that is) in the last week and I am cold. Fall is definitely here and I use run-on sentences.

Year Four

.

Today students joined us teachers at school, thus beginning my fourth year of teaching.

I wore:

Blouse: J Crew
Skirt: J Crew
Shoes: Naturalizer

I'm lean on the accessories because I haven't unpacked them yet! I'm still working on my shoes as well. I seem to be missing a few pairs. Perhaps one of our burly moving men has a shoe fetish. :-) Or I just forgot which box I put them in.

Hot Flash

I think today was the hottest day of the year. It was so hot that my principal declared that we were heading into work earlier in the morning so we could leave earlier in the afternoon before the heat in our school reached gross levels. I work in the third floor of a very old school that lacks air conditioning. It can be unbearable. Tomorrow looks to be just as hot so it has been declared a shorts and flip flops day. No students yet so I'll be breaking out a tank top and shorts for sure.

Today I wore:

Dress: Smart Set
Tank: J Crew
Shoes: Old Navy

Mr. Moth from yesterday has disappeared. He was still attached to the wall this morning. I was amazed to see that he had developed new spots over night. When I returned at the end of the day, he was gone. Hopefully, Mr. Moth is fluttering happily around the woods. I learned yesterday that luna moths only live for seven days. I'm very sad for my poor Mr. Moth. I think the heat has gotten to me as apparently I now give names to bugs.
