twofers

I wore this to my first student teaching contract meeting last week. I'm really excited to start my student teaching and be in the classroom every day! When I found this top at Carson's I loved it so much that I got it in two different colors. I call it a twofer, because it's actually one top that's connected, which makes it that much more awesome. Because it always sits perfectly, it's more comfortable, and it's cooler when you're moving around a lot. Win? I think so. And it looks professional, so it was perfect for this situation as the bright colors show off my personality as well.

I also did a close up shot of the jewelry, because I know you can't see it in the outfit picture. So I stayed in my preschool classroom after the meeting and it's so funny because every time I'm there, these boys are just as interested in my jewelry as the girls. This visit, one of the boys looked down at my hand and said "That's a really nice ring, did you get it new?" Gotta love it!

neon and denim

I love the 80's feel that this denim and neon combination gives an otherwise ordinary outfit- so fun! I found this ring at Meijer's actually, in their clearance jewelry, and when I saw it I had to have it! I was also on the lookout for a light wash denim jacket and finally found this one at Forever 21. It's actually very lightweight and could be worn as a top by itself buttoned up too, a total plus. I wore this outfit last week on a day where I had to sit for a few hours and take a test that I need to pass to become a teacher and then go off to play with a little guy I work with, so comfort was key. And the little guy was totally fascinated by my gold ballet flats, which I'll take as a sign of good taste! ;) You can't see it too well in these pictures, but my shirt is actually a reference to ER, the tv show. Am I the only one who misses that show?

Disneybound Day 20/April 20th Outfits

Sadly yesterday I was knocked down with the stomach flu. Thankfully I'm feeling much better today, but it was an effort to get me off the couch yesterday, let alone get dressed. So I thought about it, and I'm going to make up that day for my month of Disneybounding on May 1st. And I promise the outfit will be much better that day than it ever could have been yesterday when I was sick.

So today, in the morning I wasn't sure if I was going out today, so I did my first version of Boo with my purple skinny jeans and a pink tshirt. Then I found out I was indeed going to see Jurassic Park in 3D (My FAVORITE movie of all time. It was amazingly awesome!!), so I did an adapted version that looked nicer and also incorporated my I heart dinosaurs shirt. I had to.

 

Boo

The funny thing is that I didn't even realize until I got to the theater that I was actually also somewhat Disneybounding (JurassicParkbounding?) Ellie Sattler as well, since she has the pink top that she ties in the movie and a purple tank top underneath, although my purple is in my pants instead. It worked out well! I guess Jurassic Park is just that embedded in my brain ;) I never would have thought to tie my cardigans until I started reading style blogs, and this was my first attempt with it. I love the way this one looks tied, which is great because now I can do two looks with it!
