This skirt and these shoes have been in my closet for foreva eva. As in, I can remember standing in biology class junior year of school wearing these shoes. And you know what that little charm is on my necklace? A tiny book that doubles as a locket. My brother knows his sister. Hope everyone had a nice Tuesday and managed to keep dry.

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.

In retrospect, I suppose I should have worn this to graduation tomorrow, since it’s all school colors. I did always like that color combination. Too bad an outfit like this wouldn’t have passed for rep dress… I would have been a much happier camper. But let’s be real, I didn’t dress up all that much in high school anyway; I was more of the jeans + hoodie all day erryday persuasion. Thank goodness I outgrew that!

I originally wore this dress today in pseudo-mourning of having graduated from college two years ago this weekend, since that’s what I wore then. I always think of this as my watercolor dress, but I think I’m gonna have to rename it my compliment dress: coworkers and students both, allll day long, were like “I loooove that dress!” “You look so pretty!” “Where did you get that?! It’s soooo cute!” Definite self-esteem booster :) I’m always excited when one of the kids tells me they like what I’m wearing, too!

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

My outfit matches the weather… but the scarf is me hoping that the sun will decide to come back asap! All this rain is definitely putting a damper [heh look at me making puns] on taking outfit pictures. At least today has downgraded to a light rain vs the downpour/intermittent hail that was happening when I got home from work yesterday. Ain’t nobody got time for being out in that mess.

Cait & I met up for lunch today, and let me tell you, nothing brightens up the middle of a cloudy, stressful work day like one of your best friends + Mexican food. And can we talk about how every night I ambitiously lay out a sleeveless or short sleeve top for the next day, only to realize in the morning that that’s crazy and have to add a cardigan for warmth? Finally, happy birthday to my little brother! It’s seems like not long ago when we were throwing you a Barney themed party for your second birthday - and let’s be real, I was thrilled too. I stinking loved Barney.

Everything is finally all pretty and green outside! And I think the pollen might be mostly washed away after the rain we’ve had over the past couple of days… fingers crossed. I’m excited for my day off tomorrow - I went to JoAnn’s after work to get some fabric for my newest project, which you will most likely be seeing on here soon :D

Happy Friday, y’all! And it was a pretty one, which was nice considering we had a pretty insane thunderstorm last night… there were rumors of tornadoes but thankfully the roof stayed intact over my head because I was too comfortable to move to the basement. That’s a good excuse, right?! Today went much faster than the rest of the week seemed to - had lots to keep me busy but finished everything right before it was time to go. I like days like that :D

Spring cleaning at my house continues! It feels really good to get rid of a lot of stuff. These lucky items I wore today are clothes that actually made the cut to not get donated. Also, a lady stopped me in the hall at work today to tell me that she read an article that said polka dots were in style right now. So I guess that makes this outfit officially approved by passerby at large. This outfit reminds me of how I wore this skirt last year.
