A Week of Fall Fashion

As promised, a weeks worth of fall fashion... Just a few days later than planned.  I've been feeling a bit overwhelmed lately.  I had a few days where I wasn't feeling great, all of these colds going around at school one of them got me, it wasn't a bad cold, more annoying, which of course led to me not tidying up my classroom as I should have.  After a few days of this my classroom was starting to feel like Professor Jones office in the Indiana Jones movies, which isn't such a great thing.  On Friday I had some extra energy (and was at my breaking point with the mess) so I made a to-do list and got started!   Still a long way to go for complete happiness and organization but I'm feeling less overwhelmed and I was able to accomplish a LOT over this work filled weekend! Thus the blog was shifted to the back burner, sorry! I really had to do something before the Seattle Times headline read "Teacher crushed by stacks of books, ungraded papers and unit tests in Seattle classroom" lol  

Monday: 

Black Silk Blouse (t. Babaton-Aritzia) Black Pants (Michael Kors-Nordstrom Rack)

I LOVE this outfit! The blouse is a staple of my wardrobe.  I splurged on it back when I was working two jobs and it was worth every penny of its $90 price tag! I want to buy a sleeveless one in black too or one with a fun pattern! The pants a new addition to the closet.  I need more teaching pieces for my wardrobe but I wanted pieces with interest.  These straight leg black pants with gold zipper details were just the ticket! Even better, I bought them at the Rack on red tag clearance :) 

Tuesday: 

Black long sleeve (BP-Nordstrom) Dress (Ella Moss-Barney's New York)

This outfit probably looks familiar... It's basically the same outfit I wore last week, but without the denim vest and a different BP black longsleeve, yes I have more than one, this one is a little bit longer and super soft! 

Wednesday:

Bordeaux Sweater (t.babaton-Aritzia) Pants (Mossimo-Target) Boots (Steve Madden)

As you all know if you've read previous posts, I LOVE these boots! They are amazingly comfortable and have just the right amount of sass via the gold spikes :) 

Thursday: 

Black Maxi Skirt (Nordstrom Rack- I cut out the tag, it itched so I don't know the brand) Striped Tank ( J Crew-sale rack) Lace Sweatshirt (Free People-Mom for Christmas via Macys)

I'm not sure why I hadn't thought to put these pieces together before, I've had them all for over a year and I love them all individually but then I had a stroke of genius Wednesday night when I was picking out an outfit, I decided I wanted to do the cute and comfy thing for Thursday, it was going to be a day with less an the optimal amount of sleep, so comfy was a necessity! Also, a few of my students asked me what I looked like without makeup, which I thought was interesting since I don't wear a ton of makeup anyways but I decided to oblige their curiosity and go makeup free on Thursday... Ok maybe I applied a thin, single coat of mascara, but that's it! 

Friday: 

Purple and Gold Sweats (Husky Atheltic Department Surplus), T-Shirt (UW bookstore), Black Zip-up Hoodie (America Appearl via Mak's Closet), Black Vest (The North Face via Mak's Closet) 

Oh how I love Fridays! Not only do we get to wear college gear, but it was W Day in Seattle, which is the Friday before the UW Huskies homecoming football game, and thus gives everyone in Seattle the excuse to wear even more husky gear than normal! 

So there you have it! I promise to put some academics in the blog this week not just clothes :)

Unit next time,
