Super Sale

What is UP, third-day hair and super sale shoes? 

I did not want to sludge my way through the entire hair doing process, so I just recurled some pieces. 

After the first week of my eighth year teaching, I decided to celebrate by taking a gander at what DSW had to offer. I happened upon these beauties in the clearance section. I always pick the 30% off pair, never the 70% off pair. UNTIL TODAY. The shoes were originally $100, marked down to $59.95, 70% off of that, and came to a total of $19.04. 

Boom. 

I came home, and we buried Saint Joseph in the garden because my Catholic co-teacher says he'll help us sell our home quickly. I'm not Catholic, but I'll take all the good juju I can get even if my Baptist grandfather is turning in his grave right now. It's okay, Pop Pop. A little love for and from everyone never hurt, right? Plus, he was in my purse when I found these shoes, so I'm feeling a little love for Saint Joseph, helper of house sellers and shoe buyers. 

 Anyway, I got dressed today. Today was Friday. I wore jeans to work. 

The Look:

Shirt: Marshall's

The Details:

Occasion: Casual Friday at work

Where: Teaching and shoe shopping

When: allllll the live long day

Comfort Rating: 10

Comments: I considered half tucking the shirt (the pants are belted), but I wanted a looser look. It's been a long week, and I didn't want to fuss with a continually untucking shirt. I wore teal sandals all day, but I switched to these gold flats when I bought them after school. I obviously decided the flats were more worthy of pictures. 

Octopus Hairs

Do you ever fight with your hair for fifteen minutes and still look in the mirror to find the tentacles of octopus hairs staring you in the face? No? Just me? Well then, you're lucky. I guess my hair wanted to actually wave hello to blogland. Please say hello in return so that it stops waving.

The day that I wore this outfit, these pants were not in the plan. In fact, I planned to wear these really cute polka dot pants from NY & Co (cannot find them online at all), but I had a serious wardrobe malfunction. Right as I was about to leave the house, I bent down to pick up my laptop bag. I heard an unpleasant sound, which I was sure couldn't be gas coming from my pants. Yep, I split the crotch of 'em, and I had bought them only three days prior. Quickly, I ran upstairs and threw on these pants. Allow me to publicly proclaim my love for these pants. Oh, pants, you're so comfortable that you feel like pajamas, which means you were the perfect pants to wear on pajama day at school. Oh, pants, you are so comfortable that it should be a sin to wear you.

I should have washed this shirt before wearing it (oh, whatever, you do it, too) because it sort of dyed the pits of the white jacket. Dangit.

These shoes are ooooold school (momma got rid of them, so I happily took them), but they're comfortable greatness. Comfortable seems to be the word of the day, folks.

That little patch of hair on the left is practicing its princess wave.

In case you wanted a view of the shirt, I took a picture for you. 

In this picture, I am trying on some clothes to replace the polka dot pants that I ended up keeping.

I'm just going to sew those bad boys.

I love everything at Gap right now, but I bought nothing. As a result, I decided that I at least needed a picture of these cute outfits. In fact, I have clothes similar to a lot of these, so I can use this picture for outfit inspiration! (You can't tell, but the pants in the middle have white polka dots on them. So stinking cute.)

My Outfit Deets:

Coat: Guess via Wilson's Leather (got it for $50 down from $280)

Pants & Shirt: Marshall's

Shoes: Naturalizer (so old that I don't know how you'd find them)--these are zebra print, which makes them fun

Blazer: White House Black Market (several years old)

Anyone else experience some wardrobe malfunctions recently?

I think I should keep a spare outfit in my classroom just in case that sort of thing happens at work. 

Polka Dot Jeans

I really have no idea why these pictures turned out so grainy. 

Maybe it's meant to disguise how horrifically ragged I look today.

My co-teacher laughed at my satellite hairs just floating on my head.

I stated that it was either sleep or hair this morning. Sleep won. Why wouldn't it?

 I thought these pants would be really easy to style because they're blue and gray. 

I was wrong...

Until I found a fashion blog (can't remember which one) that inspired me to wear coral with my polka dot jeans. Oh, how I love you brilliant fashion bloggers. 

Pants: Marshalls--here are some from Old Navy

Shoes: Marshalls (Nine West)--try these

Top: The Limited--I like this peplum coral top

Cardigan: Target--try this one from Target

Necklace: Stella & Dot
