Holiday Look

These shoes are more comfortable when I'm wearing tights. 

Tights are only comfortable when they're not control top. How do I keep managing to buy control top? I really need to pay more attention when I'm tights shopping. When I finally start paying attention, I'll actually be needing control top.

Am I the only one whose feet still feel like they're in heels even after I've had them off for a few hours? I find that I'm tip toeing around the house.

Yeah, probably. 

Also, I'll have you know that I went into the dressing room only to take pictures of this outfit.

And I walked out with things for myself.

Who the crap buys things for herself a few days before Christmas?

Shame on me. 

(It's okay if you're judging me right now. I'm judging me, too.)

In case you wanted to know, Marshall's should really consider cleaning their mirrors. 

 Some random lady at Marshall's stopped me to tell me how nice I looked today.

Best feeling ever...aside from rubbing your bare feet on the carpet after wearing heels all day. Is that just me?

 One of my previous students found my blog. Hello to you, my wonderful, little stalker.

This is my shout out to you. I'm sure you'll tell me if you've read this post. 

It's a good thing I don't post anything inappropriate for the world to see.

The top of my head does exist, but I felt that my shoes were more important than the bun on top of my head. It's a terrible bun. Several students thought it would be appropriate to swat at it. 

                 

Outfit Deets:

Blazer: NY & Co. ($63.32 at Asos)

Skirt: J.Lo at Kohl's (I needed a little sparkle.)--love this cream/gold one for $15

Shirt: White House Black Market

Tights: No clue...the control top store?

Shoes: Mix No. 6 via DSW--I WANT THESE! Badly.

I'm a size 8.5 if anyone wants to surprise me.


Yep, I linked up with The Perpetual Student's Wife. Feel free to check out some other lovely ladies' holiday looks. 

Mustard Jeans

When I saw a previous student after school today, he said, "that's an interesting shade of orange you have on your pants." I explained that they were mustard, not orange. He informed me that he's never liked mustard. I thought about saying I've never liked him (just to be a smart aleck), but that would've been a lie, so I said, "That's nice. I like my pants, and that's all that matters." I sure showed him.

P.S. I had to confirm the spelling of "aleck." 

My students love to mess with my name. 

They tell me my Twitter handle should be "wo wo wo your boat."

Things are now "wonificent" and "worific." 

I've also been added to the Urban dictionary; I haven't confirmed that entry yet, so I don't know exactly how they defined me. I should probably be worried.

 Today, a student said, "Ms. Wo, I was in the mall yesterday, and when I went into one of the stores, I said, 'this store is so Ms. Wo.'" 

Apparently, he was in LOFT. Dang, that kid really does know my style, especially since the shirt I'm wearing today is from the LOFT. 

The reviews online said that it's constricting in the shoulders. When I tried it on in NYC, I had no shoulder issues. Looks like my shoulder are much smaller than the average bear's.

 Bluebee wanted in the picture, too. 

Please enjoy the following picture of my insanely attractive husband.

He's donning the new hat that my mom made for me. 

Isn't he pretty?

OUTFIT DEETS:

Blazer: Lauren Conrad via Kohl's 

Top: LOFT (current)

Pants: Target 

Red Wedges: Mix No. 6 via DSW

Bracelet: Modcloth

Mustard Gingham Style

I think I need to dye my hair, not because I can't rock ombre hair, but because I found my first silver hair. Well, an army of them. Let me tell you what: those magnification mirrors are the work of the devil. I use them to pluck my eyebrows, and that's when I found a silver hair. Since it looked all shimmery (versus a dull gray), I figured I could pretend to be half unicorn. That way, I won't cry. If I do cry, it will be magical. 

Since Jeff has four white "spots" on his head, he told me to let it happen because it's "cool!" He said, later on, I'd be the "hot mom with silver streaks." I'm not feeling it, guys. Thanks for being supportive, honey. 

Anyway, please enjoy today's Thanksgiving outfit. I didn't actually gorge myself this Thanksgiving. Our house was so hot from the oven going all day that I didn't even want to eat. I just wanted to pound five bottles of water. 

Also, I would like for you to know that I think the "no white after Labor Day" rule is stupid and has always been stupid...in my humble opinion. Consider this: every season, we pull the colors that we wear from our natural surroundings. This fall, we see leaves changing and beautiful colors like mustard, dark green, and maroon (three of the season's hot colors). If this statement is true, and I believe it is, then why can't you wear white in a season THAT BRINGS SNOW? Snow is white. (Snow White, duh.) Unless it's on the ground and a dog or a drunk frat boy peed on it. Therefore, we can wear white in the winter, too. If we can wear white in summer and winter, then we can wear it whenever the crap we want.

If you would like to read about the history of this fashion "rule," see this article from Time magazine. You're welcome.
