Happy belated b-day Stephanie!

Happy belated birthday to my beautiful sister, Stephanie!! Stephanie is like the yin to my yang. We're pretty much the same person. We're both librarians, both love math, both love science, both love reading, both bad at spelling, both redheads... you get the picture. Steph, I hope yesterday was great! Love ya!

charming romantic

I almost forgot to post tonight! I was watching the Olympics with my grandpap and it completely slipped my mind. I love spending time with him so much. 

Tonight's look is a romantic yet slightly more casual take on Valentine's Day. I adore this skirt from Windsor. It could be paired with so many things. I have so many ideas that I can't wait to try out! It kinda makes me giddy thinking about it. I've been seeing tulle skirts all over Pinterest and blogs that I read, that I knew I needed to get one for my own closet. It really can be such a versatile piece. WHOOO!

casual 2-14

Evan's working tonight so I'm spending this particular Valentine's day in my room catching up on Downton Abbey and Vampire Diaries. And taking blog pics, of course! This V-day look is my casual everyday wear that'd be cute for a day out shopping or in watching PBS on your computer. Cough cough. We won't be able to celebrate until Monday or Tuesday, but I'll be putting up my date look tomorrow! Be sure to come back and chchcheck it out!

purple...pink's sophisticated, cute sister

Valentine's Day gives all the love to pinks and reds, but I like the thought of bringing purple into your Valentine's Day wardrobe to give it a fresh feel. I paired these pastel pink jeans from Target with a deep, rich purple top from New York and Company. I didn't think I would love it as much as I do, but it's great! If you're trying to pull off this look without looking too much like a young girl, mix the light pink with a darker purple shade in a nice lush fabric. This shirt is like a dream. It's dressy enough that I can wear it to work, but I could dress it down for a night out with the girls. And the best part was that it was recently on sale for less than $10!!

Think Pink

Of course, what is fall without flannel shirts. 

Brightening up my fall attire with a warm pink mix. These shades are all monochromatic and are super fun and cozy for fall. I've pretty much been obsessed with this particular flannel since I purchased it last Christmas. I'm surprised it hasn't been photographed more often considering how much it rotates through my closet. I was lucky enough to snag this baby last Black Friday for $7!

First day of school

Today was my first day back to school - getting my sub on. 

And here I was thinking I wasn't gonna get called in again this week. Wrong.

Like an idiot, I stayed up until 4am. 

What was I doing?

Rewatching Pretty Little Liars season 1, of course, trying to catch the clues of who A really is. Clearly. 

But then I woke up this morning to a text message buzzing in my ear at 8:29 telling me to be at school at 8:30!! YIKES!!!!

happy heart day

Pink, pink, pink. It's the color of love and hearts...and my outfit for today. Cause it's V-Day! I got to have my second Valentine's Day party of the year today!  Or, as the kids call it, "Valentime's Day." And I may even have the chance to have a third one tomorrow! Win. These are the joys of being a substitute teacher.

Legally Blonde?! Sounds like a "genetic lotto win" to me!
