Favorites & Sorries

These are some of my favorite pieces ever. A classic blazer, boyfriend jeans, and my comfy "Dani" wedge booties! Throw in a men's camo tee and pretty emerald-accented necklace, and you've got an "insta-outfit" in the world of The Daily Dani!

I read once that, as a blogger, you should never apologize for anything (i.e. what you wear, your absence, etc.). However, rules were made to be broken (this is comical coming from me, as I'm a strict rule-follower at all times...) and I'm going to say: I'm sorry my presence has been a bit scarce on here! I never realized how exhausting my life would be while student teaching (which is, essentially, a full-time teaching job in which you do not get paid...), along with grad school, along with homework and papers and state certifications... along with attempting to have a LIFE! Oh, and sleep. Sadly, sleep is what tends to take a backseat to everything else lately! So, from time to time, I am just far too busy or far too exhausted to blog! Sad, but true! Please bear with me, my sweet and wonderful readers, while I try to figure out how to devote time in my schedule to everything I want and love to do!!

Camo, Leopard, & a Statement Piece

Even though this outfit is pretty simple and casual, it was planned. It was planned because I was very bored in my Math & Science Curriculum/Instruction/Assessment class and was browsing camo outfits for about an hour or so on Pinterest when I was supposed to be learning how to visually represent fraction for elementary students. Turns out, camo and leopard are a great combo, my favorite jeans (that are now back in commission thanks to Denim Therapy!) are still perfect, and a sparkly rhinestone necklace can make any outfit special!
