Some New 'Fits

So, as always, its taken me forever to put up another blog post. I've been slackin' so please forgive me. I have a great excuse though: I have a job as a middle school counselor now and it interferes with my WWW life.

For the most part, the promise I made to myself about actually making an effort when dressing has work. The hair, still a fail as clearly shown in the picture below. This is from my hella NorCal trip for my cousin's wedding in Placerville. I asked my sister to dye my hair red but its mostly like a brown orange. Oh, and to top it off, my bangs are darker than the rest of my hair. Nice sister, nice. Anyways, this is my Fonzie outfit:

faux leather jacket & bag= H&M, striped shirt = Target, jeans = F21, sandals = Cathy Jean

Another positive style change in my life: I now work at a new school which means that dressing differently isn't a big deal anymore. Before my work attire was pretty basic. Slacks and a dress top, same black work shoes. BORRRRRING. The first time I wore a skirt at my old job even the principal made a comment and asked if I had something to do after work. WoW. Now its a new year, new co-workers, so I have a clean fashion slate. I've hardly worn slacks, I've even worn a dress, and I've put all my heels to good use as now they've also become work shoes. I love it. I get a good amount of compliments from the junior high girls about my shoes, accessories, or my clothes.

New Clothes.

I've been experimenting with color now. Apparently that's what's "in". I don't know how I feel about reporting on trends. I figure as long as you're dressing for the decade you're good. Who cares about certain cuts, colors, etc? Hmm, I guess Anna Wintour would eat me alive for that comment.

What I wore to go out with my sister and her fiance:

I was definitely not feeling my face, but this is the overall look.


Up close on the top half. Red necklace = F21, purple shirt = F21, Jacket = F21
Close up on the jacket


Brown faux leather bag = H&M

Leggings = Giant Dollar (99cents!!!), Shoes = Payless

I've noticed there's a difference between how I dress when I'm out an about and then how I dress for work. Its a bit of a mismatch. I like my work clothes, I've got some good slacks and tops, but they way I put them together looks older and not really my style, so I'm trying to put some more effort in that too. Hence this outfit for Thursday:

I really like the sleeves. Shirt = F21, necklace = F21, slacks = Kohl's.
