Trendy Tuesday: Pretty in Pastels

The colors in this outfit make me so happy.

I do not always give you a run down of my day, but let's have at it. 

At school, my juniors left me in awe because of the hard work and brilliance they put into their Huck Finn trial. (Seriously, moments like this remind me of why I do what I do.) My sophomores, on the other hand, left me feeling homicidal because half of them did not turn in the assignment that they had TWO full class periods and a weekend to complete. Oh, teenagers.

After school, I went to the ear, nose, and throat specialist who told me that I need sinus surgery. Quite honestly, I'm cool with having my sinuses roto rootered if it means leaving these headaches far, far behind. Sure, I am going to go through two more weeks of antibiotics (on top of the five that DIDN'T work) and steroids (also did not work), but headaches have plagued me for four months. I am ready to say buh bye to them. If that means surgery, I'm cool with it. 

After the sinus dude told me my face hates me, I went to yoga again. GASP. This yoga does not involve a lot of breathy, creepy talking and downward dogging for ten minutes, so I like it. The focus is to realign the effed up parts of the body, and I've got a lot of parts that could use un-effing. Plus, the instructor has a sense of humor. At this point, I'm sure you know how much I appreciate a good sense of humor. 

Currently, I am watching Bates Motel. This show is very Oedipus Rex-esque, which I just finished teaching, but I love it. All of those psychologically twisted shows appeal to me. 

What's wrong with me?

Nothing this outfit can't fix.

 

The Look:

Cardigan: Express...so old (similar at LOFT)

Tee: Target (here it is in colors)

Belt: Came with a dress (I like this braided on at Asos for less than $15)

Skirt: Amazon (exact for less than $20--I'm considering another color.)

Flats: Audrey Brooke via DSW (on eBay)

Scarf: Francesca's (I seriously love that store. Pastel stripes at Amazon)

 

I love my brown boots.

Welcome to another shameless dressing room selfie. I'm not entirely sure what selfie isn't somehow linked to shame, but that's a story for another day. Before I got mah hur did tonight, I stopped into LOFT to return a dress. 

I exchanged it for this skirt. I love it. I've been looking for a red skirt, and this one fits like a dream. Plus, it was on the clearance rack. Double win for me. 

And why do I love my brown boots?

They go with all the things (in my closet)! 

I walked into LOFT wearing the following outfit:

I'd like to call this my Robin Hood color scheme. Where are my bow and arrow? 

(The pants are hunter green.)

The Outfit & Details:

Cardigan: Old Navy (need more colorrrrs)

Pants: Gap (by far my FAVORITE skinny jeans. I want more. and more. and more.)

Belt: Francesca's

Top: Old Navy

Boots: Franco Sarto (favorite shoe designer) via Marshall's

Necklace: Target

Comments: I really love the colors in this outfit, and people stopped me to throw down some comments at my beautiful booted feet. I originally planned to wear a black silk top with black boots, but I changed my mind this morning. (Yes, I pick out my clothes the night before.) Good change? I think so.

They call me mellow YELLOOOOOWWW...

I am so weird in this video. Do not judge me.
