monochromatic

Got home late and attempted to make indoor photos after dark work. Not the greatest but I just loved this monochromatic look. I actually wore this the first day of school but was unable to get a photo. 5 weeks later I am rotating back to it and was determined to get it online. Success. I had been totally inspired by the August JCrew catalog when it came out. The bold, bright colors, not a ton of patterns. Just color, all over the place.

love wins it

I thought that I love/hated this dress but I have decided that I love it. It needs some TLC as it was a $10 vintage find and I have had it for a year now. The elastic in the waist is shot, which is messing up the pleating on the front and therefore jacking up the whole shape of the dress. The color is so beautiful. Anytime I wear this, I feel like I have an extra spring in my step. It is such a lady-like dress with the high collar and tulip sleeves. Can you just picture me prancing down the hallways with my class trailing after me like little ducklings? Sashaying like the little lady I am.

Sadly, this is not an accurate portrayal. I don't really sashay. And my class is rarely a neat line of ducklings, trailing meekly. Instead, picture me... herding cats...in this dress...and heels. Yup, now you've got it. My life. Lord help me. ;)

red red red red red red and The Judds

Saturday was one of those really great weekend days. I had the laziest morning imaginable. Judge away, but I spent the better part of the day laying in bed watching the made for TV movie about The Judd's on youtube. During part 14 of 15 of this delightfully awful miniseries, I topped the morning off with a nap. It was fantastic. Normally this "waste of the day" would drive me nuts but for once I just went with it. Yay me!

Around 2 I finally got dressed. These red cords have been dying to make it out of my closet and it is long overdue. Considering I have been obsessed with finding a pair of red pants for months and that I bought these a month ago...it's about damn time I busted them out. I really like the brown shirt and the stand-out polka dots paired with these very noticeable red cords. I went neutral with the shoes and cuffed the pants. The bun and glasses were out of sheer laziness.
