so glad tomorrow is friday. right now i'm in the midst of a predicament wherein it's warm and nice outside, but freezing inside my classroom. so, the tights are basically making daily appearances, much to my annoyance.

the outfit -- big striped green and white old navy dress, black tights and grey flats. almost wore my red flats in the early morning grog, then realized i am not father christmas.



the lunch (and snack) -- half a almond butter + strawberry preserves sammy, carrots, blueberries, almonds, and a fig granola bar. i had to make this lunch this morning which is why it's so boring.

i was at the school for 14 hours today. yep. it was "know your school night" for parents, and now i want to sleep for seven hundred and fifty hours. unfortunately, that is just not in the cards.

the outfit -- simple turquoisy-green t-shirt with floral patterned navy skirt from nordstroms, and grey flats. changed for parent's night, but no picture.



the lunch -- i forgot to take one this morning so this is midday, after i had eaten some fruit. so, strawberries + pineapple, black bean taquitos and a babybel cheese.

i lucked out and got a new skirt this weekend courtesy of my dear former roomie, kerri (who recently bought the dress of the
same pattern), so obviously i had to wear it as soon as possible, which meant today! lucky for me, today was also a sunny delight of a day so my choice of going tights-less was not in vain.

the outfit -- white forever 21 basic yet embellished t-shirt, black patterned american apparel skirt, and my red flats. i'm sure you all are sick of seeing black every day of my life, and so i'm going to strive for more color. just so you know, i'll probably fail in that quest.




the lunch -- leftover whole wheat pasta (with butter, salt n pepa on it) with asparagus, zucchini rounds and dried cranberries. and the tippity-top of a fork up there in the corner.

ugh yeah, last friday was a trainwreck. i turned my alarm off in my sleep, it was all bad. BUT it's a new week today so here goes nothing. it's a weird half-way between summer and fall, so i'm doing a lot of tights and dresses. just to clarify, if it was the dead of winter i'd be doing a lot of tights and dresses. it's my thing.

the outfit -- a dress that i love, it's black with floral print so two of my very favorite things (from forever 21) with black tights, black flats, and a cardigan that is more coral-y and less pinky-orange than shown.



and, the lunch -- (sorry its blurry!) grapes + strawberries, almonds, roasted veggie crackers and a babybel cheese. snacks o'plenty, just how i like to eat.

ah, the sweet release of thursday. i love thursdays -- they just hold so much promise. also, apologies again for the wonky lighting, i'm clearly going to have to re-figure this out. but anyway,

the outfit -- a navy blue dress with black rosettes around the collar, black tights, and grey flats. it's a gross, rainy kind of day so this seemed to fit.



the lunch -- some new things!! half a strawberry preserves sandwich, grapes, cucumber, and one of those babybel cheeses. i always love me some cheese.

the lighting in my room in the wee hours of the am is really touch and go, so i apologize for today's pictures. i just can't bring myself to do them in the living room where potentially any roommate could see and judge me.

the outfit -- plain white t-shirt with a purple gap skirt, belted with my eternally awesome forever 21 peacock belt and my black flats.



the lunch -- i was feeling fancy today. cheese and roast vegetable crackers (kashi brand, so yummy), with green grapes and a fig bar. very french country-side picnic on an americanized budget, right?

I just had this blog entry all typed out and blogger failed on me. LAME. the point is, today was a gorgeous day weather-wise, and i make no apologies for
wearing white after labor day. if there is going to be a fashion rule at all, it should be based on a specific temperature rather than an arbitrary day!!

the outfit -- much loved and worn old navy white skirt, white tank, and deep mint-y colored sweater, with black flats. super simple.



the lunch -- i am going shopping later!! more variety tomorrow. today, though, half an almond butter + strawberry preserves sammy, almonds, carrots, and blueberries. boring but delicious, nonetheless.
