Bubble Gum Purple

With flash
Without flash

This is another nail polish that I purchased recently from Forever21 online. It's Forever21's Love & Beauty brand in "Bubble Gum Purple". I just finished painting them and haven't taken the time to clean up the polish around my nails. Horribly offensive to your eyes, I'm sure. Please forgive me!

Tuesday Has No Feel










Outfit
- Blouse & Undershirt: H&M
- Jeans: AG (Gift from AG when I worked at Anthropologie)
- Flats: Target
- Earrings: Old Navy

This outfit doesn't speak volumes. It's not dressy, it's not casual, it's just cute. It's a Tuesday outfit. Tuesday doesn't have a feel (unless you're Kramer).

Kramer: What's today?
Newman: It's Thursday.
Kramer: Really? Feels like Tuesday.
Newman: Tuesday has no feel. Monday has a feel, Friday has a feel, Sunday has a feel...
Kramer: I feel Tuesday and Wednesday. - From "The Sniffing Accountant" episode of Seinfeld

Pink





Outfit:
- Top, Cardigan, and Boots: Target
- Shorts: H&M
- Necklace: Forever21
- Tights: Penneys (Dublin, Ireland)

It is a beautiful, sunny, and abnormally warm day in the Midwest. Inspired by the sunny weather, I wanted to wear something bright and cheery. I knew I wanted to wear the black and white top with shorts and tights, but hadn't decided on what to wear over my shirt. I have quite a large tattoo on my left shoulder blade and I prefer to cover it up when I'm teaching. I picked out possible cardigans to wear: an emerald green cardigan, a dark teal cardigan, and the pink cardigan you see above. In the end, I chose the pink cardigan so that I could wear it with the coral, multiple-strand beaded necklace.

Out of This World

Hey guys,

I forgot neglected to take a picture of my outfit today, because Kevin was heading back home after a weekend with me. However, here are a couple of pictures of my current nail color, Sinful Colors "Out of This World". It's a very fun light silver color. You can pick up a bottle at Target for a whopping $1.99.

Comfortable Thursday

Dang you wispy hairs!



Outfit:
- Sweater: Free People
- Undershirt: Target
- Jeans: Seven for All Mankind (Thrifted at Wasteland in SF)
- Flats: LOFT

So I teach four days a week. As a rule of thumb a teacher, or anyone in a professional setting, should look presentable and respectable while in the work environment. While I get great pleasure out of putting outfits together, by the end of the week my desire to be comfortable outweighs my desire to wear overly thought-out ensembles. On that note, Thursdays are usually the only days of the week that I wear jeans instead of dresses and skirts simply because they're easy (and typically flatter your tuccus if you're curvy). I received this lovely and key word: COMFORTABLE robin's egg blue Free People sweater for Christmas that, while mighty cozy is still appropriate in a classroom setting.

Easing into spring



Outfit:
- Sweater: Forever21
- Skirt: H&M
- Tights: GAP
- Boots: The New Yorker (Grenoble, France) 

Last night I was eying my closet and I spotted the cute floral skirt you see above. I really wanted to wear a pastel floral skirt, but I was hesitant to seeing as it's January and I go to school in the Midwest, not California. However, the black tights and black boots "winter" (verbing a noun. English rocks.) down the pastel making it okay. I added the green sweater and now I love this outfit.

P.S. Notice the good quality of the pictures. I used my camera! Yay!
