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!

Navy Mix

In April's issue of Instyle magazine, they had a wonderful section featuring neutrals with a pop of color.  I loved how the bright pink and turquoise looked paired with navy and decided to give it a try.  This might be one of my favorite color combinations yet!

I really like this combination of minty green and turquoise. It's so springy!

I've caught some kind of sinus cold so hopefully I'll feel much better on Monday.
