Casual Friday

So my new school is pretty casual in general, but I am trying to stay on the more professional side. We could wear jeans any day, but I am going to stick to Fridays. I got this striped shirt at Land's End recently on major sale for about $5. The cardigan (a new favorite) is the same from the last post, it was only $5 also at JCPenny. I like pairing the orange stripes with the neon edging on the cardigan, I felt like it gave it some personality. Oh, and if you see me wearing jeans, they are these ones from INC, cause they are my only pair of jeans. Hey, if it ain't broke?

Return of the Mac

Heeellllloooo! Sorry for the long time between posts! I always hate it when my blogs don't update regularly, and now I have become what I hate. For those of you who don't know, I am a teacher. This year I am coming off a leave of absence that I took to earn my masters degree full-time last year. So basically, I have not had a regular 9-5 job since June 2012. Getting back into the swing of things, including a school and grade level change has pretty much put me on my ass. But I have returned!

This past weekend it was ideal weather in DC and I just had to be outside. Some friends and I decided to walk around the Congressional Cemetery, which also doubles as a dog park. It was interesting, J. Edgar Hoover is buried there. I have been looking for an occasion to wear new shoes that my sister got me from ModCloth for my birthday, high-healed sneakers. I hearts them. I got the cardi from JCPenny's and the top is from Kohls - both part of my back-to-school shopping day. The jeans are INC from Macy's.

 

 

Last weekend, I was lucky enough to attend a bride/bro shower for my dear friend Josie. It was basically a couples party that involved hamburgers, spiked lemonade, miniature pies, and flip-cup. A recipe for perfection. I wore a blue knit shirt dress that I have had for a long time from Macy's. The bride, Josie is on the left and her sisters are Maggie and Emily to my right. Good looking family, am I right?

 

 

Promise I'll post again soon! Besos!
