hello, again

Oh my goodness, it's so good to be back! These past two weeks have been so busy in the library. I gave a booktalk this past Monday on 7 different books, so I was busy spending most of  my free time reading some new books and rereading the ones that I haven't read in a few years. It went very well, I think. I was extremely long winded. Really, when am I not. But, the assistant principal told me that the kids seemed really attentive and engaged the whole time and I was thrilled when I had multiple students check out the books from the booktalk! I even had lots of students put holds on the books because other students had made it a point to check some of them out right away. So that made me a very happy librarian!!

Classic

The third Valentine's Day look this week is a classic pairing. An a-line skirt worn with a sweater reminds me of the 50's. Add in a polka dot blouse and you have a great retro vibe going on. To me, this feels so feminine and classy. It reminds me of something that my grandmother would have worn in the 1950's, but with a modern twist due to the lace and pink underskirting.  Complete the look with a red lip, pearls, and softened, finger-combed curls that flow around the face. 

closet shopping

I think I need to start going shopping in my own closet more often! I had some sweaters and other winter items stored away and I just got them out today. Ya know, out of sight out of mind. And as I was looking through the box, I was just imagining all of the amazing pairings I could do with my sweaters that were once forgotten. Oh man, I used to love this baby! 

Demo

A few changes around these parts. I'm so sorry if there is any confusion. Theater Geek and Teacher Chic went through an identity crisis. I've decided to change the blog's title to my name, Whitney Justine, as it represents me for who I am. Not just only certain aspects of my life. 

black and navy

I gotta admit, I wasn't too sure about this black/navy combo that's been trending lately. However, I have to admit, I sort of dig it. I know! I know, that the colors blend in with each other. But there is that slight difference that makes the tones together interesting. Completely unexpected. 

Happy belated Thanksgiving!!

I hope everyone had a fabulous Thanksgiving! 

go ahead, have a cow

I've had these leggings for almost 3 years. Now that the leather fad has come back I'm ready to bust them back out. Maybe in small doses, but I think that's okay.

First Boyfriend

Though this post is titled "first boyfriend," I don't mean my sweetie or any previous boyfriend for that matter.

It's bad luck to say 'good luck' on opening night.

two-fer

These are a few of my favorite things *part 3*
