loving this nygaard top with pearls and white keds....think it is  dressy casual.  lane bryant pants and tank top to make the outfit complete.  thanks grandma for the pearls! 

 this is what my cat does to my sheets.  it is a good thing she is loved--the little butt! 

this is a cool cloud picture of a storm blowing in....can you see the wind in the atmosphere blowing that round edge of clouds?  sooooo coool:)

have a great day!  love you all!

outfit 35--i love pearls and dressbarn sweater $1

i am particular fond of my facial expressions in these pictures,

it shows the mood i might have been--

this year i end my teaching day in a particularly rough way

and some days it makes me grumpy

it makes me grumpy because i do the best i can to help them learn,

i want my students to do they best they can to learn,

and sometimes it seems these two things aren't meshing well--

(i hope it doesn't sound like i am complaining)

i have started two sewing projects: can't wait to have the energy to finish them:)

weather wise i had the best both of worlds

--snow in morning, sun in afternoon--

that is my favorite utah weather pattern

i love pearls--thanks sis and grandma

black and goldish sweater--thrifted dressbarn--$1

pants--lane bryant--$49.50 but i think i got them on sale

boots--cozie steps--sam's club--$40

necklaces--gold/pearls gift from my sister,

knotted pearls vintage from Grandma Linda,

extra long strand i can't remember

outfit 28--nautical or political?

well, i had first started off the morning with white nylons....but by the time i got to school and walked down the hallway they had begun to slip down and pull my underwear with it...and if your an endowed mormon you know what THAT mean...extra white around the calves....not a good wardrobe moment:) HAH!

then, we have this totally dorky male teacher who says inappropriate things all the time and says-- (imagine with me, as i mock him, in a very low voice, bouncing my head back and forth)-- uh, very patriotic today"--i say, thanks but not quite the look i was going for, i mean jackie o could wear some pearls but i don't think that is what HE meant, really?....and so I walk away....

 oh, but grandma's pearls make me happy juxtapositioned against the sparkly red tank!

and the comfy red dansko mary janes.  the striped socks came as an emergency lunch time fill in when the nylons ended up in the garbage after the morning underwear fiaso....

the dress in lane bryant $? since i always buy clearance i guess less than $20

the tank is lane bryant, same deal,

socks came from sam's club in a seasonal display 3 pr. for $10,

shoes dansko about $80,

vest is "free country" brand and i think it is from sam's club, too
