I wore this skirt two years ago.

"Ms. Wo, you have so many styles!" That is the first greeting I received from a student in the hallway today. As I trudged to my classroom, I considered the legitimacy of this claim. Yesterday, I wore tall, patterned wedges, a sleeveless sweater, a shirt with fun sleeves, and shorts. Today, I'm wearing a white skirt with my Converse sneakers and bicycle necklace. Tomorrow, I might wear gray slacks with a blazer. Kid, you're right: I do have so many "styles." Of course, I would say that I just like to experiment, for which I suppose this blog can take quite a bit of credit.

Although posting pictures of my outfits sometimes seems vain ("everybody, come see how good I look!"--one of the only Will Ferrel quotes I like) and often makes me feel pressured not to be "boring" in what I wear, it also encourages me to think differently about what's in my closet and allow it to verbalize how I'm feeling that day. Today, I felt fun and funky, much like Punky Brewster, an allusion I hope is not lost on you, dear reader.

Anyway, I'm walking to the gym and then doing some yoga. I wish I were as cool as I sometimes make myself sound.

The Look:

Shirt: Old Navy

Skirt: Old Navy

Shoes: Converse via DSW

Necklace: American Eagle

Cardigan: via thredUP

Knees.

I call this my "everybody, come see how good I look!" pose.

I should not make myself laugh as much as I do, but there you have it.

Mom: "Twirl!"

Me: ..............this.

I wore this skirt way back when I started this blog, and it went something like this:

This picture sort of makes me think about cutting my hair a bit shorter. Hmm...

(I just checked. This post is from just about two years ago!)

Weekend Style

My growing number of dressing room shots exponentially increases my cool factor.

Or lameness.

Whichever. 

Anyway, I really felt this outfit was worth sharing. When I ran errands, the top half hid under my coat; I needed to share the rest with someone. Okay, so the SAT kids saw my outfit that morning, but who counts a room full of seventeen year olds? I don't. I especially don't count the gawker. Every SAT I proctor, there is always a kid who finishes most sections early and then proceeds to awkwardly gawk (is there any other kind?) at me, the proctor. I hope he tests as well as he gawks. 

Are four bows overkill? Bow earrings, bow necklace, bow belt, bow shoes? 

Meh, whatever. I like it.

These pants are my favorite pants.

This scarf is my favorite scarf.

This cardigan makes me yearn for spring.

I took in four items. I bought zero.

What up, will power?

I haven't seen you in a long time ever.

Outfit Deets:

Scarf: Crocheted by Momma (similar but obviously not as awesome)

Cardigan: Target (over the summer)--(this one is cute and springy)

Button up: Express (yay for XXS)--(similar)

Pants: J. Brand via TJ Maxx--(very similar)

Bow belt: Express (in Key West, woot woot)--(similar for less than $5!)

Shoes (gray wedges you cannot see): Me Too via DSW--(cute, similar, I want these!)

Jewelry is so old that I have no idea where I bought it.
