Red, White, and Plaid (and hooray for a link up!)

Some pretty ladies and I are hosting a themed link up this week. Gather your red and your pink for a week of Valentine's Day celebrations. Link up your delicious cuisines, your snazzy sartorial creations, or your home decor (which I will drool over as I sit within my crappily-painted apartment walls). I do hope you'll join us for one day (OR ALL!). Look, I'm even starting off the week in my red pants.

This navy blazer is perfect, the knees of these pants are too wrinkly, this belt is almost 15 years old (vintage?), these boots are my favorite pair, and this flannel is just the right length. 


The Look:
Blazer: The Gap (a gift from Mom)
Pants: Candie's via Kohl's
Boots: Franco Sarto via Marshall's
Flannel: Old Navy
Belt: OLD American Eagle

Starfish and Stripes

I love my new starfish necklace. I love this top. I love this skirt (my favorite one, in fact). I love these shoes. I love ALL blazers. (Seriously, I have a problem and have since probably the seventh grade.)
As a result, I figured, "How can I go wrong?" Plus, all of these loves coordinate with one another. 
Ah, Monday perfection. 

Jeff is fixing fish stuffed with shrimp tossed over gluten-free pasta. Ladies, I found me a winner. 

Anywho, I need to grade some essays before graduate class tonight. We'll be discussing our reading of Frankenstein. I like Frankenstein WAY better than Descartes. Way better. 
Of course, I like naps best of all. 

Happy Monday, folks. 


I couldn't explain my feet to you in this picture if I tried. Seriously. 



Outfit Deets:

Blazer: Monteau via Marshall's (similar)
Top: Old Navy (exact)
Skirt: The Limited (similar)
Tights: NO idea (I think Momma bought them for me.)
Shoes: Aerosoles via Marshall's (similar)


Linking up with YOLO Mondays (even though I hate the term YOLO because there are actually other things besides living that you do only once).

Mrs. Green Jeans (with a little navy and gold)

Today, a student told me that the story I told to explain the importance of research was really good. Then, in all seriousness, he started to clap for me. That was the highlight of my day. Later, a student asked me why I'm not as cool as my brother. That was not the highlight of my day.

I understand that I will never be as cool as my brother is, but I will always be more stylish. I love him, but his style consists of the same Nike hat in at least three different colors. 
At least I have one thing going for me. (Though I am guilty of buying the same article of clothing in more than one color. However, I have gotten much better with that problem.)

One teacher told me that her students referred to me as the pretty, stylish, young teacher. Even if I suck at my job, at least I look good sucking at it. Another teacher told me his junior girls were all a twitter about my dark hair. Supposedly, they like the new 'do. Another student asked me if I could be her personal stylist. Needless to say, I was feeling it today. I kicked today's ass despite my not being as cool as my older brother. 

How did you own today?


 Had today not been a bloated day, I might have tucked in my shirt and sported a belt. However, today was bloat city. No tucking or belting for me. Oh, and no pants without spandex either.

 I should probably buy an undershirt shirt that more closely matches the off-white color of this top.

 Shirt: Marshalls (recent--$15)
Navy blazer: Marshalls (recent--$25)
Pants: Gap ($30? I can't remember, but well worth the price!)
Shoes: Target ($15, on sale)


Restyling Idea (for shirt) #1
Tuck in shirt (if I'm not bloated next time)
Wear with khaki circle skirt
Wear with nude heels
Wear with same navy blazer or a red blazer

Restyling Idea (for blazer) #2:
Wear with gray or khaki pants
Tuck in white shirt
Sport a brown, braided belt or a gold one
Put on some brown, suede wedges or plaid flats


How would you have restyled this outfit? I'm curious
