December

Hey! I thought that this combination would work, however it definitely needs some tweaking, mainly in the fit of the shirt. plum button down shirt NY & Co. (thrifted?) blue skirt thrifted maroon belt thrifted navy & red polka dot tights Old Navy brown boots Born

Blue and Black Take 2

I thought that this blue shift dress would only work in the Spring and Summer. Boy, was I wrong!

Blue and Black

I got so many compliments on my hair and outfit today. I need more of this blue in my life!

Purple Zigzags and Burgundy

Hey everyone! I've been swamped with work-related stuff. Anyways, I recently thrifted this dress and I'm so glad that I picked it up. I think the next time I wear it, a black or blue vest will be a perfect topper.

Southwestern-esque

I'm really digging the way that this skirt looks with these boots.

Last Two Days of the Perfect Ten

Yay! I made it to the end of this challenge! I don't think I'm going to wear this blue dress or Asian wrap blouse for a long while, lol!

Over the Weekend & Monday

Still remixing, however I can't wait until Wednesday so I can wear something else. I've learned that 1) blue dresses are awesome and 2) I love this black shawl thing!

Remixed Blue Dress

This is my second remix of this dress--I love it!

Pink & Blue

Day 2 of the "Perfect 10" challenge. I thrifted this blue dress from Savers this past weekend. I don't know what's going on with me and blue lately. It's like I just can't enough! Also, I originally had on some black wedges, but those thangs hurt my feet so tan, comfy oxfords will replace those bad boys, haha!

No picture! *Addendum--Found it!

Argh! Just when I finally got my husband to consent to taking my outfit picture, the camera battery died! Anyways, I'm taking on the "Perfect Ten Remix" hosted by Coffee and Cardigans. My color scheme for the next ten days is hot pink, bright blue, tan, and black, based on a flow-y cardigan that I thrifted the other day. Edited--I found the picture, yay!

Outfit #1--Flow-y cardigan, black tee shirt (Old Navy), black skinny jeans (Old Navy), black sandals (BOC)

Week Two of School--Woohoo!

The kids are great--there's just a lot of them (30+ students per class--I teach 6th grade this year). Anyways, I'm digging this pattern mixing and received lots of compliments today. Every item in this outfit has been thrifted--yeah boy!

Break is over...

So, I'm back to work after a semi-long break. As I'll be sitting in an unconditioned cafeteria for most of the day, I'm trying to find a balance between dressy and practical. This outfit totally works, although I did get overheated at times.

Summer

So, I've signed up for a 3 week course at my local university. The trick to dressing in this fickle New England weather is layers! The goal is definitely presentable and comfortable. gray leopard sheer blouse Old Navy black t-shirt Old Navy red shorts thrifted black sandals b.o.c. gray leopard print necklace gifted?

Style Me Friday--Gray T-shirt

Long time no see! The school year has ended and I've been in straight 'get my life back' mode. Usually, I relax during June and July, but lately I've been busy! Anyways, I thought that I would have to cheat and wear a gray dress to participate in this week's Style Me Friday. It turns out that I thrifted a gray workout tee a while ago. This is a great way to get more wear out of it than just to the yoga studio. gray t-shirt thrifted (Nike) gray necklace made by coworker black & white maxi skirt thrifted black sandals b.o.c.

Stripes Week

Welp, I've fallen off the 30 for 30 wagon. 20 outfits in over the course of a month ain't bad, though. I'm still utilizing a few of my 30 for 30 wardrobe pieces this week. I love how this blazer and skirt looks together.
