.:Stripes:.

//Sweater:  Loft (similar)// Necklace: Nest (this season's version; TJMaxx has also been carrying a similar option)// Pants:  Gap// Shoes:  Steve Madden// Handbag:  Celine// Sunnies:  Chanel//

Every now and then I wake up feeling blah and have no desire to dress up.  These are the days where I reach for my uniform.  To me, my uniform is a striped top and leopard flats.  I know that I will have a bit of polish without much effort.  Do you have a go to outfit when you aren't feeling up for getting dressed?

.:Last Days of Summer:.

//Cardigan:  Loft (old; similar) // Tee:  Victoria's Secret // Necklace:  TJ Maxx (identical pricier version) // Sunnies:  Chanel // Jeans:  Hudson Nico // Flats:  Kenneth Cole via Marshalls (similar; love these)//

 To me, nothing spices up a bland outfit better than an exciting shoe and statement necklace.  By updating classic pieces with small punches of color/texture, you can easily take a bland outfit to the next level.  I spent today relishing in the last few hours of vacation.  I go back to work tomorrow…back to putting together my classroom for my new 25 first graders & sitting through meetings that will guide our year.  While I am so excited to go back and see my colleagues, friends, and new students, I will incredibly miss the freedom that I've had the past few months.  I have to say, after having a fabulous summer filled with getting married to the love of my life and a fabulous Hawaiian honeymoon, I've had the best summer of my life!
