I bought this top two years ago. I got it at LOFT in an attempt to expand my 'professional' wardrobe. I have paired it with beige slacks, nude pumps, and a turquoise blazer to give it a 'hip', professional vibe. But you can also see me sportin' this beauty on a summer day with white jeans and wedges. Too hot for jeans? Switch to shorts and you're ready to rock and roll.
Since I have issues with necklaces (due to being really claustrophobic. weirdo, I know), I love how no necklace is needed with this top. The sequin trim adds just enough sparkle to dress it up, but it is not too overpowering.
And these jeans. Oh my word are they perfect. They are KUT, and fit perfectly. Of course they are sorta stretchy (the only way to go with jeans...) which makes them double perfect. I wish Texas had some 'cool' summer nights so I could wear these pants, but I will have to wait until after labor day (gasp!) to really work these into my wardrobe. If I wore them now, they would melt right onto my body and we would be calling EMS to come cut them off. I'm not worried about me, I just don't want to ruin the pants!

Now for my BIG news!
If you follow me on instagram (@sarahtuckerup) then you already heard, but....I am OFFICIALLY a 5th grade teacher!! I signed on the dotted line yesterday! I have got SO much support since {this} post and I couldn't be more grateful for all that God has given me these last couple months and I cannot wait to start teaching!
Now for some randoms:
- Chris is in Boston and I am not. #notjealous #okaytotallyjealous
- We are going to a wedding this weekend and, let's be honest, who doesn't love weddings?
- I have been eating a second dinner for the last couple weeks. Around 10pm every. single. night. my stomach start rumbling like I haven't eaten in hours. I lay in bed praying to just fall back asleep but I can't! I then get up and eat a banana or bowl of cereal, and once I have a full belly, I crawl back in bed only to be woken up by a growling stomach the next morning. Not sure what my deal is. Chris freaked me out by saying I have a tape worm. Ewwww. What a sicko :)
- See the picture above? See how it kind of looks like I have short hair? I have really been dying for a hair change, but I am not sure I want to get rid of my long hair...thoughts?
- My brother and three of his friends are coming to stay with us this weekend. Four 18 year old boys + Chris...who has an extra room I can come stay in?? ;)

ReplyDeletei think the short(er) hair would look nice on you!!
Ok...so what you are saying is that if i send you my credit card, you'll go shopping for me?! I am the same way about necklaces. I rarely wear them unless they are really low and loose. AND YAY for it being official. So excited for you friend.
ReplyDeleteI'm obsessed with that first picture, the outfit, the hair, the good news... basically the whole post! You look gorgeous and I'm SO happy for you and your new job!!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this outfit!! These colors are perfect on you friend! Personally, I think you have a face that can pull off any hair style, so if you want to chop a few inches? Why not? ;) AND umm... thank you for the L-O-V-E in this post!... makes me all blushy :) haha I promise I will stop taking pictures of me on my horse and hashtagging you so much ;) ha

Love the white pants, and that corral shirt is too cute! Congrats on the job dotted line signing. Also I have that same necklace clastrophobic thing working for me, except I wouldn't be able to wear that shirt...too high up on my neck...I'm choking just thinking about it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new job! That's fantastic! 5th grade was my favorite grade growing up. I feel the same way about necklaces. I can wear them for a bit, but then feel too constrained. This top is beautiful!
