the elephant in the room







Floral print and sheer details make me swoon. So when I stumbled across this little number at Crossroads in the city, it was a no brainer. The sweater, intended to ward off the chill morning, ended up looking frumpy. While my intention was effortless and casual. You win some, you lose some. I wore this to an in-service training today and these heels earned me some sideways glances. As an elementary school teacher, I often get snide comments about the way I dress. I would never, ever single out fellow teachers who dress casually or try to make them feel bad for dressing in a way that makes them feel comfortable. Yet, people seem to think the reverse is okay. One woman's vintage dress is another woman's sweatshirt. We all just want to feel like ourselves.

ps I've been hibernating these short winter days. Not enough daylight hours to take photos. I'll try to be better. Mwah!

not deterred





top: Nordstron Rack
skirt: Target (couple years back)
shoes: Seychelle's on Gilt
necklace: [un]possible cuts

As you can maybe tell it was super bright for me on the rooftop yesterday afternoon. Which is why my eyes are closed or squinted in every picture. The entire roof is painted white and it reflects light like crazy. I came (slyly crept) upstairs to take these and felt both guilty and dismayed to see an additional deterrent to getting on the rooftop. My landlords must really mean business about no one on the rooftop. Not that it stopped me but I did feel a twinge of guilt.
