I was achy and tired ALL day today.  I don't think my body likes the huge shifts in weather that we've been having.  It's just not fair to go from 40 degrees to negative temperatures in a day or two.

UGH, and I hate being a hormonal wreck.  I just felt a little weepy through most of the morning.  Over nothing!

The one thing I don't like about this outfit is the weird fit of the skirt.  I don't think it looks weird when I see myself in a mirror, but when I look at pictures, my hips look very weird and dumpy.

My students were antsy today, and I was very hormonal.  These two things should never match up on the same day.  I'm sure I seemed super strict to the students and they seemed off-the-wall to me!

I felt all super-sexy in this outfit even though it wasn't really racy at all.  The "tights" I wore aren't actually tights but knee-high socks in disguise!  The problem was that my skirt would ride up a little and show the sock (I found out), so I went without socks once I realized this at school.

Skirt: Forever 21

The Weekend: Friday January 17- Monday January 20

I didn't post much this week.  To be honest, my outfits felt uninspired and recycled.  You'll see what I mean when you see the few pictures I've decided to post from the last few days.

I think I'm ready for spring so that I can have some different clothing options!

Friday was spirit day.  We got to wear jeans if we wore a school shirt.  Done.

This is my Monday outfit. I tried the half-tucked look.  Not sure if it's working or not.

I was so excited to find this cute lace shift dress.  I liked it just as it was, but I might try belting it next time.    The jewelry I wore seemed to be made for each other, even though I didn't even buy them at the same store.  Also, ignore the photo bomb by my dog; he can't be more than a few feet away from me at any given moment.

Lace Dress: Ross
Necklace: Francesca's

I love when I get back from having a substitute and I have a note saying it was a great day!  The only sad thing is getting feedback from my students about the substitute merely handing out the worksheet and then sitting down and ignoring them for the rest of the hour.  Now, I don't expect a sub to know how to teach my content area.  But I *do* expect them to be smarter than a fifth  tenth grader and I expect them to be perfectly capable of reading directions and helping the students understand what they are supposed to do.  And I especially don't expect said person to get paid to sit at my desk playing Candy Crush all day.

GRRR….

Okay, here's the outfit.  I am linking up again with Danielle for Trendy Tuesday.  Today's trend was coral.  Since I already planned to wear this top, and I didn't see the post about what today's trend was until this morning, I just switched out my original plan of necklace for the coral one.

Top: Dainty Hooligan
Necklace: Target
Pants: Marshall's
Boot Cuffs: Etsy
Boots: Lane Bryant

Aren't the patches on this top just adorable!?

Randomness: I tried my curling wang again yesterday and I think it turned out a little better than the first time.

I spent all day in waiting rooms, I feel like!  I took the day off for a dentist appt and then a dr appt.

I stopped by the school on my way home to check the sub notes and it sounds like she had a good day, which is awesome!

Purple Sequin Tank: Kohl's
Plaid Shirt: Old Navy
Cardigan: Charlotte Russe
Necklace: Forever 21
Pants: Marshall's
Loafers: Aerosoles

I could not for the life of me find a pair of shoes I liked with this outfit.  Maybe I should have switched to jeans.  I really did not like the way these pants looked with this outfit anyway.  I felt ugly in them.

Sunday, January 12

I wish I could sleep in and still not feel cheated out of half of my weekend!  I still need to write lesson plans and grade.  I have the day off tomorrow though for a dentist and dr appointment.  I can't be the only person to try and schedule everything on the same day so I don't have to take two different days off of work, right?  :)

Dress: LOFT
Dotted Top: Kohl's

Mocassins: from an Indian Trade store in OK

I tried curling my hair today using my new curling wand.  I was hoping for an easier way to get my loose curls that I get when I use my straightener as a curler.  I was hoping they'd turn out like this:

 

More of a VS Soft curl is what I wanted.

This is what I got instead: 

More of a Taylor Swift curl.  

Any ideas on how to use my tapered curling wand?  I've watched about a million YouTube tutorials and yet my hair still turned out like this.  I know I could just continue to use my hair straightener, but I DID buy the curling wand.  So…. :)  And sorry I had to smudge my face.  Not that I ever put anything inappropriate on here, but I'm not ready to be recognized yet (even though I'm pretty sure only a few people actually read this blog).
