Teacher Chambray

 

In continuation of me trying to brighten up my wardrobe, here is a work outfit that I just ADORE.  I brightened up this wonderful chambray shirt (so perfect with the touches of lace) with a bright yellow skirt and yellow statement necklace. Most of my statement necklaces I get from Rue 21.  They are super affordable and adorable!

 

As for everything else, Monday has flown by.  We painted and drew, drew and painted alllll day long.  We are currently studying Monet, who is my favorite artist so I have been enjoying it and I think my students have too!

 

Today we are having lots of April showers... so I can't wait to see May flowers!  I love wearing all of my transition outfits but I cannot wait to walk out of school, climb in the car, and roll the windows down while working on my (non existent) tan!

 

What are you dreaming about for summer?

Sugar and Spice

 

Happy rainy Sunday from OKC everyone!  It is quite the dreary day out today, but I love the rain personally it always makes everything so clean and new. It also makes me slow down which is a rare moment in my life.

 

On this beautiful Sunday I have snoozed, watched Netflix, and ventured out of my apartment just twice (once for groceries, once for church).  Usually my weekends become jam packed,.so I am so thankful and blessed for this slow one!

 

Now for todays outfit, I got this beautiful floral scarf at H & M in Dallas. Ohh how I wish we had H & M in OKC!!!  I love this scarf and its sweet look.  To spice it up (and warm up, literally) I paired it with a leather jacket. I love the trend of "Sugar and Spice", mixing florals and lace with leather and studs.

 

Do you ever wear this look?  What relaxing thing did you do for yourself this weekend?

 

Take care lovelies, and definitely do something nice just for you today!

Pink and Navy

 

Happy Saturday, Loves!  I apologize for my short hiatus...  As any teachers know, spring break and thereafter is a madhouse of activity!  At least with all this activity, the sun is slowly starting to come out (c'mon, spring!!) and I can start wearing all the dresses I have been saving all year.

 

My springtime goal is also to start adding more bold color to my wardrobe.  I will talk more on that in future posts, but help remind me to stay away from beige, cream, tan, light brown, white and black.. for some reason these colors call out to me constantly!

 

Although I know navy is still a neutral, I thought mixing some pink and navy would brighten me right up for spring.  So here are a couple of looks from this past week.

 

How do you brighten up your neutrals?  Are you still transitioning into spring?

 

Happy Weekend everyone!

Hearts and Stripes

 

Well HELLO blogging world! It has been such a long time (sad!!) since I have posted!  So much for that New Years resolution of posting every day... BUT there is no time like the present to get back into the swing of things!

 

I hope that everyone had a wonderful, love filled Valentine's Day.  Mine was incredible. I got to spend time with the people I care about so that was all I could want. Oh and some roses and I got those too! Yay! :-)

 

This is the outfit I wore the day AFTER Valentiens (yesterday) because I just wasn't quite ready to let the love go yet!  I am in love with stripes and they are super in, so I paired it with my heart scarf to girly it up.

 



If you haven't noticed so far, I LOVE girly styles! I have really been having fun this year mixing girly pieces in with more fashion forward or masculine prints, styles, and fabrics.

 

Do you like to get girly or do you like to grunge it up? What did you do for the holiday of love this year?

Back to School

 

It is back to school this week for me. One of the many things I love about being a teacher is avoiding calling it "work" but rather school.  We had a training day before the children came back so I took the advantage to wear these heeled boots I never wear! I paired it with a tunic, leopard belt, and floral scarf. I felt professional and sassy all day!

 

Here's a closer up of my accessories. As a new blogger, I am definitely still working on my photo editing and posing. I take my own photos so this is definitely an opportunity I need to work on!

 

Kailey and her wedding was simply beautiful. She was such a gorgeous bride and did a great job planning it. She wasn't a bridezilla PLUS she let us pick our own bridesmaids dresses with just the color she wanted. I love love love my dress and can't wait to wear it again! I had a great time seeing and meeting people, having a cocktail or two, dancing, and of course watching this sweet girl marry the man of her dreams!!
