Scarf It

As you know, I'm trying to wear what has been neglected. Today it's a scarf! A scarf used to be my favorite accessory, but lately it's been a statement necklace. I like how this pretty floral patterned scarf added a little bit of interest to an otherwise plain outfit.

Speaking of statement necklaces, there's a few hours left on Groopdealz to purchase the rosette necklace for a bargain if you are interested. I'm getting a lot of wear out of mine!

Watercolor Floral

The pattern on this skirt is cute, but it's a little more girly than what I tend towards. Oh well, I still like it and I'm on a mission to wear clothes that don't get into rotation much. The last time I wore this skirt was about a year ago, and I styled it very similar! I have to try something new next time.

Calming Colors

This dress is the only piece I have from Anthropologie, and it's thrifted! The color is beautiful and pairs lovely with this blue cardigan to make for a calming combination. A shirtdress is one of my favorite items to wear because it's so simple.

Four more weeks of school and I feel like I am crawling to the finish line! I know it'll go by fast, so I'm trying to enjoy it. I'm also going through my closet to figure out what I have neglected so that I wear it before school gets out.

Tropical Vibe

This outfit has a cool tropical vibe to it. It seems hard now not to reach for pants that are brightly colored. Now that I've worn these pants a few times and have washed them (in cold water), I'm suffering from saggy rear syndrome. Saggy rear syndrome is the reason I avoid pants for the most part.

Tweed & Stripes

Today was my favorite day of Teacher Appreciation Week because the kids bring in hand written cards. I so enjoy and appreciate the cards that I know the kids put in time and effort to be thoughtful and creative!

How interesting it is to see their drawing interpretations of me!

Tonight was also Open House where the kids bring their parents back to school to show them the work that they have done. It was enjoyable to talk to the families and see several siblings that I have also taught in the past! They grow up so fast!
