I won't talk about my nose today.

I gave my little social media and blog buttons a face lift over there on the right. I know. They look so much prettier. However, dear reader, do not be fooled by my apparent awesomeness. It's just procrastination in disguise. By procrastination, I mean, "I'm finally feeling well enough to grade papers during spring break, but PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME." I am sure the guilt will ensue soon enough because isn't that the life of a teacher? Well, it's the life of this teacher. 

Anyway, I know I can't "cheat" the Looking Lucky challenge and double up any of the themes, so I bring you yet another look inspired by the theme "geometrics." I must confess, however, that Geometry was the only class in which I landed a C. Ever. Proofs befuddled me no matter how many times the teacher explained it. Though I think I should add that this particular teacher previously "taught" my rapscallion of an older brother. In truth, she had him in only homeroom, but he terrorized her quite effectively. For fear of narcs, I will not divulge the tomfoolery in which he engaged that may or may not have led to her eventual admittance to an institution. As such, when she taught me, I think she took one look at me and thought, "oh, damn," which may be why she seated me so close to the door that one forceful sneeze would have shot me into the hallway. 

It's very hard to pay attention in the back of the class. I should know.

So, how are we feeling about white pants? And wide-leg white pants no less? 

The Look:

Shirt: Old Navy (similar from Target)

Scarf: Banana Republic Outlet from Momma (I like this green and white floral one.)

Necklace: The Limited (really inexpensive at Body Central)

Shoes: via DSW (splurge, spend, save)

Pants: New York & Co. (similar, bootcut, skinny)

I look so much sassier in this picture than I really am.

Monkeys Love Me

This nature-inspired outfit was ever so appropriate for the vocabulary PowerPoint I reviewed with my sophomores today. I like to spruce things up by telling periodic stories. Today's story was about how the monkeys at the zoo always try to attack me or throw disgusting substances my way. They were delighted to learn that a very large primate came barreling at me from his corner of the habitat, slammed into the glass, and then got up, doing what I can only describe as a laugh. Yes, a LAUGH. My husband caught the big oaf's charge and my squeal on video. Where are you, dignity? I appear to have lost you somewhere along age twenty-something.

Speaking of nature, why is there a leaf stuck to my shoe in the first photo? I even made sure to kick the twigs away before Jeff snapped the pictures. What matter is that when the leaves try to befriend my shoes? However, in their defense, these shoes are pretty snazzy. My co-teacher declared that she would like to rip these shoes off my feet...if my feet were not "boats" compared to hers. She referred to them as her "favorite shoes...ever." 

Because overshare is my middle name, I'm going to tell you I felt so full after lunch today that I had to unzip my side zipper just a smidge. Truth? I never zipped it up again. My shirt and cardigan covered it, and I felt much less constricted. I thought you should know. 

If you stop reading now, I won't judge you. 

The Outfit:

Cardigan: Old Navy (I just loved the color.)

Top: SO via Kohl's

Skirt: The Limited

Tights: The Limited

Shoes: Rock & Candy by ZiGi via DSW (got 'em Friday)

Scarf: Francesca's (yes, it's an infinity scarf by nature)
