On Wednesdays we have to "dress nice" to school. Meaning we don't get to wear our normal jeans and a tee shirt, which is what I rock four days a week. I am trying to get use out of my nicer dresses that I save for a special occasion...then end up not wearing. Basically what I am saying is I need to stop worrying about saving dresses for maybe/possibly/theremightbeachance special occasions, and just start wearing them!
I bought this dress over two years ago for one of my wedding showers and I have maybe worn it three times. Yikes! I didn't want to wear it to school in fear of it getting ruined, but I think it is time I just start taking the plunge and wearing my 'so called' nicer items that never get worn.
As for this blazer, I got it over two year ago from Target on major sale. I want to say it was like $10. Major score. I am just waiting for the temperature to cool off so I can actually wear it outside instead of just bringing it to school to wear when I get cold.
Randoms:
- This week of school is kicking my butt. Getting into the swing of things is tough. Couple that with a sour stomach yesterday morning and I am ready for this weekend.
- Bachelor in Paradise, love. So much less crazy screaming, but just as much drama.
- We had Ikea Swedish Meatballs last night and they weren't half bad. Actually, I really loved them and Chris said, "You don't have to make this meal like every week...just every once in awhile." Noted.

I am already looking forward to Thanksgiving break :) HA!
DeleteThank you!
LOVE this look! Hey, if you don't feel great about the week, at least you look amazing. Feeling put together always makes me start feeling better. Hope the rest of your week is great!
ReplyDeleteHaha thanks friend!! I think my weekend will be full of catching up on sleep and saving my voice...I forgot how much teachers talk!
DeleteI just found you today via Shanna's blog and linked up with my post ! I am excited to get to know you! Susan
ReplyDeleteI'm with ya on wearing nicer things to school. I've started taking that plunge, too, and I don't regret it! The school year is kickin my rear, too. I feel like I have no time! I went to a freezer meal party, so we have crockpot meals for over two weeks! Score!
ReplyDeleteSuch a great look! The blazer goes perfect with that dress!! I know what you mean about saving clothes to wear, I do it not just with nice dresses but kind of with all my clothes... It's terrible! Like oh I'll wear this next week because it's suppose to be warmer out and this on this day and then I'm left with nothing to wear that day! It's such a bad habit.
ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting the link up :)

Love the dots! I do the same thing with my "nicer" clothing. I am also so tired in the morning the last thing I feel like doing is getting extra fancy! Ha!
ReplyDeleteLove this look! I can't get over the fact that you get to wear jeans and a t-shirt almost every day, though! Lucky!
ReplyDeleteI love how you married a sweet, girly chiffon dress with a fun-printed blazer and edgy booties. You look great. I am glad you dress up on Wednesdays at work. Loving the polka dot blazer, clutch, booties and bracelets. Yep, I want it all. LOL
ReplyDeleteMiss hearing from you. Hope all is well and Texas is not 100 degrees right now lol.
