Delightful Denim

I'm kiiiind of obsessed with this shirt. The harder, more masculine edge of a short-sleeved chambray button down combined with the feminine touch of a Peter Pan collar? Perfection! I found that it was perfectly complimented by the most adorable bow flats, and also by my raging knee sunburn.

So, finally, after a year and a half, I have completed all my credential coursework, two student teaching placements, 3 state tests, and 4 state assessments! Whew! Now, my credential application is in and I have spent the past few weeks substitute teaching until 2014-2015 job availabilities start popping up - fingers crossed! So for the next few months, I get to teach different grades at different schools every day, and expose my "teacher style" to all the new people I meet!

Preschool Problems

So, we had a "color week" at preschool recently. Each day was focused on a different color; we did art projects in that designated color, read books about that color, put out play-do in that color... and wore that color! Truth be told, most of my outfits were not blog-worthy, but I thought blue day went well!

Stripes & Bows

Confession: I kind of forgot about these beautiful, dainty flats. :( I bought them for (and wore them on) Christmas, put them back in their pretty little box, and forgot about them until I recently shelved all of my shoes! I know they're pretty neutral, but I just wasn't quite sure of what to pair them with this time around, so I went with a classic - neutral stripes!

Do you all have any ideas of how I can style these flats?
