zero to sixty

  • skirt: Worthington via JCPenney Outlet
  • shirt: a.n.a via JCPenney Outlet
  • shoes: Nine West (thrifted)

I have returned from camping and am back in the office. Reluctantly. I went kayaking and hung out in a hammock and read a book a day while I was away. Today was hectic - thought I was going to be catching up on emails and office work, but instead was in and out of meetings most of the day. But at least I had a new skirt to face the work week with!

revisiting red

  • top: Target
  • skirt: Banana Republic [thrifted]
  • belt: H&M
  • sandals: Seychelles
  • earrings: gift

I missed this skirt! It’s been quite a while since I’ve worn it… think I’ll have to change that trend :) And now that I’ve linked way too many ways I’ve worn it previously, I think I’ll have to find a color other than blue/grey to wear with it… red is difficult to match I think. Maybe I just need to think about it a little harder, buuuut why mess with a good thing?! Haha. Only two more days till vacation! That is a very good thing :D

  • shoes: J.Jill (thrifted)
  • bag: Aigner via TJMaxx
  • necklace: Premier Designs

Oh hi, Monday. I had a busy weekend with several babysitting jobs, a dogsitting job, an engagement party, many loads of laundry, work for the two classes I’m taking, and trying to avoid getting caught in the many thunderstorms we had. The highlight of my work day today was definitely getting out of the office for a bit to get lunch with Cait. And also, coming home to this pretty face.

thursday

  • tshirt: Tresics
  • skirt: J.Crew [thrifted]
  • flats: Target
  • earrings: vintage

Today was a pretty great day - got a decent amount accomplished, ate my delicious leftover lunch outside in the sunshine, and got home and read on the back porch :) And since we’re on summer schedule now, I don’t work Fridays, so today is the beginning of my weekend, hooray! This explains the super late [for me lately at least, ugh why am I such an old lady now?!] post. And now I can’t really sleep late any more since I’m all used to getting up for work. Sigh, working world problems I guess.

peppermint

  • shirt & shoes: J.Crew (thrifted)
  • skirt: Madison via Belk
  • watch: Eddie Bauer

I got these shoes back in the fall, and have been patiently waiting for warm weather to break them out. Definitely got some compliments on them today, which never hurts! I’ve had a really stressful week, so having a fun, summery feeling outfit helped me feel a bit better.

school is in session

  • skirt: Ann Taylor Loft (thrifted)
  • shoes: Dansko (thrifted)
  • top: TJMaxx
  • necklace: American Eagle
  • earrings: craft show

Happy Monday, everyone! Today, I started a Master in Education with a concentration in Higher Education program! I’ve known I wanted to continue in school since before I graduated from college in 2010, so I’m excited to be finally making it happen, while still working full time. Hopefully, I can juggle work, school, blogging, the people in my life, exercising, etc., etc., throughout this process.

new shoes

image

  • top: The Limited
  • skirt: thrifted/shortened
  • boots: Frye

I found these boots in a consignment store over the weekend. They look like they’ve only been worn enough to get them broken in - since I brought them home and cleaned them up, they look pretty much brand new! Too bad it’s almost the end of boot-wearing weather… but that’s ok, since I intend on wearing these for a while :)

  • shirt & sunglasses: Target
  • skirt: H&M
  • necklace: With Your Heart Jewelry
  • shoes: Mix No. 6 [via DSW]

Today was one of those deceptive days where you think you’re not going to have much to do… juuust kidding! But at least it makes the day go faster :) And now all the kids in the lower school have a pretty class picture, plus or minus a few goofy faces, haha. I also got to have dinner with SB, Lucy, and Meg in Greensboro tonight, which was awesome! We’re making improvements on getting our schedules to cooperate and see each other all together more than once or twice a year… this makes me very happy :D

open

  • skirt: thrifted
  • shirt: TJMaxx
  • belt: Calvin Klein (thrifted)
  • shoes: Call It Spring via JCPenney Outlet
  • necklace: Premier Designs

I love this top my mom picked up for me at TJMaxx! I’ve had it since late fall and very patiently waited until warmer weather to wear it. In the last photo, I’m looking over towards the house, where my dog managed to find the only open window in the house and was watching us. Annie hates getting left out.

what’s cookin’

image

  • cardigan, flats, sunglasses: Target
  • blouse: Marshalls
  • skirt: Loft
  • necklace: With Your Heart Jewelry

Hello again! Sorry it’s been a little while since I’ve updated - had to work this big carnival at school on Saturday, and then I’ve been enjoying having the house to myself since then. My parents took a vacation on the way to go pick up my sister from college, so I’ve been taking advantage of having a very nice, well-stocked kitchen to myself! I’m excited to know that I can concoct tasty, and surprisingly healthily I might add, things to eat when circumstances will no longer allow me to take advantage of my mama’s cooking :)
