Teacher Style: Pattern Mixing and Mint

This is the stripe and polka dot outfit that I had planned on wearing last Friday, but then changed my mind at the last minute and ended up in lace, pearls and converse.  

We dress up a little more on Monday - Thursday, then Friday is more casual (and fun).

Thanks to my new (Christmas present from D) camera giving up the ghost last weekend, you get crappy cell phone pics.  Yeah, you're welcome.  :)

Everything is thrifted except for my most favoritest metallic ballet flats from Payless.

Oh, and I FINALLY found a cheap ($1) mint nail polish that I like...thanks, Dollar General!

Teacher Style: Pearls and Lace...and Converse??

I woke up with an entirely different outfit planned out....stripes and polka dots to be exact.  

But apparently, I woke up in a different mood than when I went to bed and all that went out the window...and this fun little outfit was born.  

Fashion blogger, I am not.  

However, I do get dressed everyday...and sometimes I like what I'm wearing and want to document it.  :)

Shirt: Rue 21 ($4 clearance)

Skirt: Tommy Hilfiger (thrifted)

Converse (handed down from Sister #4)

Necklace: Rue 21 ($2 clearance)

I adore this shirt...especially the lace sleeves!  

I got 4 different ones like this on clearance at Rue 21 last week.

Thanks to my recent weight loss, my skirt is ginormous on me!  

I am still searching for a (very inexpensive) replacement.

I was also told that I look like one of my high school students.  

Not what I was going for, but this 30-something'ish lady is gonna take that as a compliment and smile.  :)

Happy Friday!!
