Go Green// Happy St. Patty's Day

(Das Boot)

Happy (Belated) St. Patrick's Day everyone! I hope no one got pinched! I must say I did a little pinching of my own! Mwahaha! ;-)

Yesterday was a wonderful day of shopping with my sister, both for clothes and for my nephews 11th  birthday party today! Ahh I cannot wait.  This little boot goody was found at my Target (tar-jhay if you're fancy). 

Now as you can tell, mint green was the only green I was rockin yesterday! I love love love this hi lo skirt. Another great transition outfit for awkward Oklahoma weather!

 

 

Check out my sister's clothing haul from yesterday! For a girl who never wears colors I am so proud of that bright pink dress!

Lace Love

(

As I post this, OKC is sitting at a brisk 39 degrees. To think it was gorgeous and in the 70's on Friday when I took this! C'est la Oklahoma.

 

I am literaly obsessed with lace right now, and this shirt iis no exception. I got it from Target and it is so versatile and beautiful!  I decided to let my poor pale legs out for some sun on Friday and wear it with shorts and my new heeled booties.  I'm sorry if you need sunglasses for this picture! ;-)

 

Today I am going to help my sister get ready for my nephews birthday party and I am so excited. I am also excited because I slept in. It was amazing.

 

Are you on spring break? What are your plans?  Are you as lace obsessed as I am, and how do you wear it? I just might need your ideas!

Tribal Sweater

 

 

(If I had my own tribe, we would wear pink...)

 

Happy Sunday lovelies!! It is that BEAUTIFUL (even though its in the 30's out in OKC..) time of year called SPRING BREAK! I knew this was a wonderful gift of a break as a student, but I honestly know I enjoy it much more now as a teacher! But I was an "honors kid" so, hey.

 

I have been in Dallas this weekend with my sweet friend Heather. We had an amazing, amazing girls trip and I am so thankful for her and some time away!

 

Here is my travel outfit for todays yucky weather. Spring is not quite upon us yet, but thats ok because I get to wear this amazing soft pink sweater! It's from Rue 21, as a lot of my things are.  I really look forward to wearing this with shorts, dresses, tights, you name it.  It is a perfect transition piece!!

 

Be prepared for Dallas pics this week! What did you do this weekend? Are you spring ready yet? I know I am!

Work Swag Wednesday

 

 

Happy Wednesday Loves.  Here is to a a beautiful week! Yesterday was my first real taste of spring, so I got to wear this sweet pink/coral lacce dress. I paired it with a floral scarf, statement necklace and cardi plus some flats.

 

I am still working on the picture quality for my blog.  I downloaded VSCO app and I am playing with it to help with my iphone photography.

 

In time I want to purchase a good DSLR camera. Does any other bloggers out there have any recommendations?  Remember I am on a teachers budget so it will be a splurge and I'd like to have something nice but nothing crazy over the top in price. I would love any input someone has!

 

A quick post today, as I am at school on lunch, and kindergarteners are almost here!!!!!! Happy Hump Day y'all!

Maxi Rules

(work vs. play)

 

Hello loves! I am sooo excited for the beautiful spring weather we are getting here! I of course had to wear my favorite new maxi that I picked up this week. I got it at Rue 21 for $7.00 and I am OBSESSED.

 

There are so many ways to wear a maxi, and I wanted to include a couple in my post today.

 

On the left is a great work look. tuck in a high neck shirt or collared shirt with your maxi and a nice statement necklace. Of course a cardigan would also dress this right up!  In colder weather add a scarf, leather jacket and tights/boots and you can still look chic.

 

On the left is my "play" look. When I am out of work I like to change into more playful and youthful attire.  I love the crop top trend so I paired a denim top with it. If you want a more conservative look a tank and leather jacket will also create the same look!

i brake for birds// polka dots linkup

 

Monday, Monday lovelies!  It has been crazy, crazy weather this week. It was in the 30's this morning and now well into the 70's this afternoon! I decided to show you my way to make a cute transition outfit.

I love this outfit because the dress is sleeveless, so you can go from coat and scarf, to sweater, to a sleeveless dress and be perfectly comfy all day. Cheers to that.

 

I added this for a little fun to your Monday. Also because this is well, my life. I am Zoey in this show! If you love polka dots OR New Girl leave me some love below in the comments!

 

I am linking up my polka dots today thanks to Because Shanna Said So! Go check her and the other lovely  bloggers out! :-)

Loose Lace

 

Happy Weekend, Lovelies!

 

This has been a wonderful yet very cold weekend.  I spent most of yesterday helping out at our local Science Olympiad competition with my students and PEAK teacher. It was fun but tiring! Thanks to my sister who gifted with me a caramel macchiato! #bestsisterever

 

This was my outfit yesterday since I love wearing white, especially when I am not at school! (No chances for messes, spills, handprints, etc etc etc)  I adore lace right now.  It has taken awhile for me to get on the loose fitting dress trend but now I am pretty much obsessed. I love anything vintage or retro and it makes me feel like I have taken a step back a few decades when I wear it! Woohoo.

 

How do you feel about flowy dresses? How do you style them? Have a sensation Sunday, everyone!
