I wore this outfit to my student teaching orientation Saturday! I found out that my favorite teacher will be teaching my seminar, met my site supervisor, and met some fellow student teachers in my district/area. I start student teaching TODAY - I can't believe it! I will be spending my first assignment, 9 weeks, in 1st grade, learning the ropes and eventually teaching the class! I am so excited to meet all the kiddos, facilitate their learning, and (let's be honest) get to wear some cute teacher clothes!

How fun is this sweater from ZLZ? I had so much fun looking through all of their cute pieces and choosing which to wear! I honestly love anything with a big ol' animal on it, so I this sweater was seriously right up my alley! It looked even better in person than I expected - the graphic is nice and clear, the fit is perfect, and the knit is SUPER SOFT!

I think you should all head over to ZLZ and look through their adorable pieces - you won't be disappointed! They're fun, versatile, and totally affordable! Here are some of my favorite pieces from their site!

How perfect are those cutoffs for summer?! And doesn't that patterned mini look like it could be right out of a J. Crew catalog? Take a look around - which item is your favorite?

Pastels

Nothing like a fully pastel outfit for a nice summer evening. I wore this over the weekend for a delicious dinner in Hermosa at Abigaile followed by drinks out in Orange circle. Even though I dubbed this the no-pants summer, something about a soft pastel pant feels like a worthy exception!

Summer is steadily approaching, and pastels aren't going anywhere! I mixed my classic pastel pieces with a heavier classic - the nautical navy blazer! - and a summer classic - my trusty Salt Water sandals! I've been wearing Salt Waters since I was probably 2 years old, so nothing screams summer to me like these bad boys, especially in sunshine yellow!

Everyone's posting their Easter outfits, so I shall post my Passover outfit! Something about springtime just requires pastels, and I love these pale yellow pants! I had a lot of fun posing for these photos, and being totally ridiculous with my mom prancing all around our complex.

We had a lovely Seder meal, complete with brisket, matzah lasagna, noodle cougel, and (the piece de resistance) bacon-wrapped matzah balls! YUM. I had a lot of fun eating (because how couldn't I?), spending time with my family, and hanging out with my 2- and 3-year-old silly and stinking adorable cousins.

And let's not forget, I did say bacon-wrapped matzah balls.
