Wacky Wednesday

My OOTD is one I've worn before; I wanted to get a wear in before the temperature drops. I {{LOVE}} this skirt! It makes me happy. I tried on several necklaces before I decided that the print didn't need further embellishment today.


I think I'm going to have to sell some of my heels. Last year I only taught two classes; this year I teach 5. I wore these shoes frequently last year w/no problems. Not today! Any recommendations (other than Dansko/Ecco) for stylish shoes to wear w/pencil skirts that won't leave me limping to my car at the end of the day?

Linen While I can

Hey, all!
So here's my OOTD. I bought this shirt this weekend @ 30% + 15% off. Really like it. The pants were purchased in early summer w/the same discount. I've worn only skirts & dresses up until today; I like the non-capri look of these pants and was cool despite the 89+ degree temperature in my non-air conditioned classroom.


Side note: I think I should find a place in line for a new iPhone--my photos seem to all have a fuzziness lately; the pics are horrible w/and w/out a flash. The fault, of course, is all technology, not morning coffee jitters. :)

My Fall Color Palette Inspiration is....

A rooster! (He's sleeping) OMG--I don't think I've ever seen such a beautifully colored bird in my life! What looks like black is actually a deep teal... He's a brown leghorn rooster (google to see other pics...).


If only I could find a cashmere sweater in that teal!

Contemplating going again tomorrow...

RIP Deckstripe Skirt

Well, this is how I went to work on Wednesday...


...and just as my seniors were about to come in, I bent down to file some papers in the bottom drawer of a file cabinet, and the back seam of the skirt exploded. Zipper to hem. I spent the next hour teaching from behind a podium backed into a corner. Thank goodness my seniors did not need me to mill about! If it had been with my juniors, I'd have been screwed. Wtf!?!!!


I'm afraid to re-order this skirt that I so loved again. The store associate offered to have the tailor fix & reinforce the seam, but now I just don't trust the skirt's construction--there are two other seams, after all... Boo!

Aside from a maroon cashmere sweater, I still see nothing of interest in the store. Again, Boo! I did order the featherweight cashmere cardigan in copper and a Tippi in ?pool green? this morning. Contemplating ordering the kaleidoscope capris, but I swore I'd not order another pair of crazy print pants. Too hard to re-wear, even with totally different top pieces.

Here is my OOTD from Thursday; I forgot to take a photo on Friday:
