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!

Happy New Years from OKCGlam!

(all dressed up on New Years with this handsome gent :) I can't think of anything sweeter!)

 

Happy 2014, everyone! I am so excited and ready for this new year.  2013 has been a great learning and growing experience, but I am ready for the new year upon us!

(Hey it's me and my sissy!)

 

Ringing in the New Year was hands down one of my favorite NYE's ever. It began with a coffee break using my new Keurig (which I'm obsessed with) with my sweet friend Courtney.  It was followed my ice skating, and then some drinky-poos with alot of my favorite people.

 

I don't have any perfect pictures of my outfits, but I much prefer these with my sweets anyway! I wore a form fitting sparkly dress with black tights, wedges, and a white blazer. Oh yes and us girls also rocked these show girl inspired headbands because, well, why not?!

 



I have alot of goals this year.  First is to definitely blog MORE. I've enjoyed it so much but I really want to kick it off to share my interests with everyone more and also just to have a creative outlet for all the things I love.

Second, I want to really practice enjoying being me, and keeping a good attitude.  After a few years of feeling like I was on a winding trail and forgetting who I am, I can tell that I feel undoubtedly myself again.  I am really happy for that.

Third, I want to continue my work in showing compassion every day. Whether its just holding a door for an old lady, or hugging my pet kitty cat, or high fiving one of my students, compassion is undoubtedly important. I have been so very blessed by compassionate people I want to continue that chain!!

What did you do and wear for New Years?? Did you make any resolutions?

Happy 2014, everyone!

It's Beginning to Look ALOT Like Christmas!

It is beginning to look AND feel alot like the holidays now, everywhere I go! I wore this red dress today because it really put me in the spirit and made me feel very lovely and ladylike.

I paired it with this neat gold chain and pearls necklace to give it some edge and hardware.

Nothing is really complete without a bow. I added chocolate tights and boots to keep it from being too stiff and to keep me from being too cold!

This dress gets alot of movement during my day! I always try and pick things that I can teach in, which means lots of up and down and an apron over it too.

We have been doing nonstop holiday art over the past two weeks in my art room. Definitely one of the best perks of being an art teacher is picking holiday projects. I swear there are so many cute ones I don't know if I will ever get to try them all!

These gingerbread men were crafted by my sweet Kindergarteners today. They loved their "cookie" ornaments and listening to the story of the naughty gingerbread man.

 These reindeer were made in first and second grade. I taught them how to draw him and they loved painting him. We used tempera cakes because they really help down on the mess and me running around pouring paint every 5 seconds!

 

 

Third grade just finished drawing these grinny Grinches... Definitely one of my favorite holiday stories.

 

What are your favorite holiday stories? What gets you in the holiday spirit?
