hearts and a new adventure



Although they don't really show up in pictures, there are polka dots on these coral jeans, making them one of my favorite pairs, obviously! And the sweater is covered in adorable little hearts. Now normally I wouldn't be one to wear a top covered in hearts, because it would make me feel like I'm about 5 years old and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I work with 5 year olds- I don't need to be one too ;) But when I saw this sweater from Old Navy last year, I was just drawn to it. Maybe it's because the hearts are half pink- half which gives it a cooler vibe, and I love the brown with it. It's also incredibly soft, which is a big plus.

And today marks the beginning of a big change in my life for the next 4 months: student teaching. I'm going to be a full-time student teacher in 2 different classrooms to finish up my Master's and get my teaching degree. And I'm really excited about it! It's going to be lots of work without a doubt, but I'm really looking forward to getting to be in the classroom every day with these awesome kids that I've already gotten time to know and love. And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't excited about wearing "teacher outfits" every day. I'm already planning out what I'm going to wear into the future. Today would have been my first day in the classroom as the student teacher too, but due to the -25 degree feeling temperatures, all the schools are closed around here. So I guess I will be staying warm inside instead for now!

Leopard and Red




I'm back after taking the month of October off on this blog! I had 2 sinus infections back-to-back and they completely wiped me out, so I had to put all my time and energy that I had into school-related things. Plus, one of the last things you want to do when you're sick is take pictures of yourself, you know?

I adore this outfit. It's so simple and so comfortable: a t shirt, jeans, a pair of canvas shoes, and a scarf. But this is where color and pattern choices make all the difference. By choosing the fun pattern of leopard print for the scarf and color of red for the shoes, it instantly pulled it together in a cute, refreshing outfit, even just on a base of a plain grey tee and jeans. Plus the gold ring and bracelet helped pull the look together completely. I had been on the lookout for a leopard print scarf for awhile and was thrilled when I found this one from Charlotte Russe for only $5- my favorite place to buy scarves!
