Casual-ish Friday

It's finally vacation! This morning when I woke up, I was extra lethargic. I usually try to plan my outfits while I lay in bed in the morning but this morning I was stuck. I couldn't think of outfits, accessories, anything. Hmp! I decided to dress as casual as I could be without getting in trouble. (However, I think the day before vacation, teacher dress code is the last thing on administration's mind).

I grabbed clothes, basically in the dark. Its a miracle that they go together. I decided since I was going with casual clothes, I'd spice it up with some heels. It was also a miracle that I made it through the day still standing. This week has just been one of those weeks that drag on and on. But enough complaining. I'M ON VACATION! Woo hoo! I nice week of relaxing and hopefully some skiing.

Anyone else on vacation next week? (I'm currently looking for people to hang out with next week. hehe)

Shirt Dress

It was spring-like for Massachusetts today. It was finally in the 50s. Talk about a heat wave. Well my mind was in a spring. (Especially since all Red Sox players report to spring training today). I wore some light colors buttt it was still too cold to go barelegged like Kendi. A girl can dream, can she?

Here is another example of me wearing leggings as tights. Whenever I wear this dress, I always think that it is too short to wear to work so I wore leggings just to be safe. No one commented negatively about my outfit. (Probably because they were more concerned with the happenings in my classroom today). I wore flats today just to show everyone that its getting warm out today. Woo hoo.

One more day until February vacation.

How was your Thursday? Are you excited for the weekend?

Mixed Metals Valentine's Day

I am playing catch-up all week. Hence the reason why I am finally getting around to posting my Valentine's Day outfit. This is what I wore to school to teach my lovies (filled with lots and lots of sugar). I don't like wearing red because I am a redhead. I opted for mixed metals. If I were to wear this outfit again, I would add a chunky necklace and tone down the tights. Looking at the pictures, my legs look extra shiny. It almost looks costume-y instead of teacher chic. Oh well. I was excited to wear my chambray shirt again.

I did not have a Valentine this year but I was not anti-Valentine's Day like some single ladies. I spent the night with my girlfriends. We had sushi and play trivia at a local bar. It was great. I loved it but I was exhausted all day the next day! So much for going out on a school night, huh?

I know this a few days late, but how was your Valentine's Day? Did you spend it with someone special? Or did you have a fun night out with girls?

Casual Saturday

Hey Friends, I knowI haven't blogged in a few days. This was my first full week of a school in about 6 weeks and it really wore me out. (I can already hear the moans and groans of all you non-teachers out there). But, none the less, I am back.

Yesterday, I wore this while running a million and one errands. Turns out one of my errands was a jackpot in hiding. Let me tell you the story. My bank was just bought out my a larger bank so naturally there are a million and one issues. I went down to try and have them solve my problems. While solving my banking dilemmas, the teller discovered a long lost savings account in my name that money in it!! I can't even describe the feeling. I image this is what winning the lottery is like. Since this money was a new discovery, I decided to to buy XBox 360 Kinect. (Such a great decision!)

Also, I have to admit, I did some shopping at the LOFT. Everything was on sale and I had a gift card. I rationed it out in my head by saying that if I give up shopping for Lent (which I plan on doing) that would mean 3 months without shopping. So I justified it by reminding myself that I am giving up shopping for Lent. I am still sticking to the remix. I hope you don't mind!

Sidenote--I have a lot of hemming to do over February vacation in a week!

Colored Tights and Dresses

Colored tights and dresses seem to be my winter wardrobe staple.

I'm finally getting the hang of this whole remix thing. I think I am much better remixing my winter clothes than I was with my fall clothes. I feel like in the winter I can add so many accessories to my wardrobe than in the fall. I guess that is because I am not a big jewelry person. In the winter, I add colored tights and cardigans and interesting boots. Maybe that is the benefit of growing up in New England, the ability to spruce up a winter wardrobe. Colored tights are my favorite accessory. It keeps things interesting especially since I hate wearing pants.

Spring is in the Air

The title of my post is a lie. Spring is not in the air, however, I really want it to be spring. It's actually quite frigid in these neck of the woods. I don't hate the snow or the cold weather.

Today when I was getting dressed, I thought this skirt was too short to wear to work to teach third graders. Instead of just trying to find another outfit, I opted to wear leggings underneath the skirt. I did not put the leggings in my remix. But I figured since I wore them as tights and not as pants, that they didn't count toward my remix clothes.

Sidenote--As I write this, I realize that all my pieces for my outfit are from the LOFT. Oops. I usually like to mix it up a little more.
