Seriously? Who doesn't love a good maxi dress? Loose, flowy, flattering on most body types, and simple. Simple, simple, simple. I think every girl needs a black maxi in her closet. Maxi's for 'merica, y'all!
Did I really just say that? Embarrassing. Anyways, here is how you can transition a maxi from day to night. I would normally add wedges to dress it up even more, but I was apparently too lazy to walk ten steps in the door to my closet and make the switch, so...ya.
Obviously I am delirious from all this teaching hoopla going on, but I cannot express how excited I am to start this school year! Driving home today I was thinking about how I have never been this excited for a job in my life. And I have never left work at six at night wishing I could stay longer. Work-life balance usually wins, but I am amazed how happy I am when I am in my classroom. I was never that happy sitting at my desk for 16 hours a day during my life as an accountant. It has been the biggest blessing to get out of stinky ole accounting :)
Randoms:
- Yesterday I mentioned how I would be posting a delicious recipe last night. I lied...it will be posted tomorrow. Sawwryyy.
- I cannot wait to show y'all my classroom! It is adorable and sports themed. Does that surprise anyone?
- My brother already secured an amazing job working for the stats department at his university. The boy loves sports, and has the brains for stats, so this is such a blessing. Did I mention school hasn't even started already and he already secured this position? The boy constantly amazes me.
- My bedtime went from midnight to nine within one week....which made that five a.m. wake-up call not so painful. Chris is happy because now we are on the same sleep schedule. I, on the other hand, am not happy because I am missing all my shows!

9 o'clock sounds like a good time to go to bed when you have to get up at 5. Last night I went to sleep at 10...and even that felt a little too late when the alarm went of at 5 this morning!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you this week with in-service. Looking forward to seeing pics of your room! Maxi dresses are my uniform. I love the transition that you did with this one.
ReplyDeleteWhat grade are you teaching? Good luck with your school year! I agree....I do love a great maxi dress. And no worries about the flats for night time...I love flats with a maxi for a night outfit!
ReplyDeleteI did a sports theme and I think the boys loved it because usually when they are with girl teachers they get girly stuff. I think the girls were more like "what?" when they saw hockey pucks and baseballs.
ReplyDeleteI have a few maxis but it appears I need a plain black one! :)
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you just a gorgy tall drink of water in this dress?? And your hat wearing skills are like the belt...I WISH I could pull off a fedora the way you can...
ReplyDeleteWow what an amazing transformation, love it both ways!
ReplyDeleteYikes 9:00?! I couldn't do it if I tried! I'm lucky if I'm even in bed at midnight haha. But its great to have a job you love! It makes all the difference in the world.
ReplyDeleteI love how you can just add a cute hat to this dress and it looks perfect for a beach day or the farmer's market and it can totally be dressed up too. Such a great piece to have.
