Blogger Blues

Blazer: Old Navy
Top: Old Navy
Necklace: Etsy
Skirt: J Crew Factory
Shoes: Naturalizer

Not much action going on around here this week; I think I've got the blogger blues. January just makes me want to stay at home in bed. I can't seem to find the energy to take photos in the morning. These are from Monday; I just found the motivation to look at them now.

Hopefully I'll be back next week with more pep.

One Lone Pair

Blazer: Old Navy
Top: Old Navy
Jeans: J Crew Factory
Belt: Land's End Canvas
Boots: Naturalizer

Today was jeans day; time to dig out my one lone pair of jeans. I would get more (I'd love to have a pair without the whiskering on the upper thighs) but it's something I need to buy at a real life store and I hate going to real life stores. So I'll just pretend that the lines of my thighs don't draw attention to the chunkiest part of my body and be happy with my one pair of jeans.

Don't Fret

Blouse: JCrew
Skirt: J Crew Factory
Necklace: Lia Sophia
Shoes: Naturalizer

Those people who fret about the cold while I'm taking pictures; don't worry, it was a very mild day. The snow flakes in the air turned to rain minutes after we took these photos.

That's a good thing because wearing a sheer silk blouse in January is probably not the best idea. The next time I wear this blouse in the winter, it definitely should be in a layered look.

Polyester Thoughts

Blouse: J Crew Factory
Skirt: J Crew Factory
Necklace: J Crew ripoff via EBay
Shoes: Naturalizer

I finally gave in and ordered this factory blouse. It's polyester but my love for the print overcomes that drawback.

I have a skirt in the same print and love it but it is miles too big. It was always too big so I imagine I would be swimming in it now.

One good thing about polyester; I was sweating buckets today running around at school but never once did I think, "Dang, now I have to spring for a dry cleaning of this blouse." I just threw it in the wash when I got home. Maybe polyester isn't so bad . . . I hope DaniBP doesn't see this. :p

Lazy Days Are Over

Sweater: Gap (super old)
Skirt: Talbots
Necklace: Joe Fresh
Boots: Naturalizer

Vacation is offically over - boo!

Thankfully, today was a professional development day (no students) so I was able to ease back into this work thing.

It was a cold day spent listening to presentations so I wanted to wear something simple, cozy and comfortable.

Afternoon Date

Top: Costco (old)
Skirt: Forever 21 (My $2.50 skirt!)
Necklace: Banana Republic Factory
Boots: Naturalizer

The sun was doing weird things today. It was in my eyes so I'm all squinty and it washed out the blacks in my outfit. The top is black, not a faded brown.

Today was the last official day of our vacation. According to RDog, the weekend does not count.

We went on a little afternoon date; lunch at a new restaurant and a bit of shopping. My new skirt is a little too badonka-donk for school so I wanted to get a wear in during vacation time. It was the perfect afternoon date skirt.
