Party Girl

When I wore this outfit to school, all day long students were asking me, "Are you going to a party?".  The answer?  No.  This is how I dress for you, chickadees!  How could you learn math without a flowy-cardiganed teacher?

I was also told by several teachers that I looked very "trendy". It was absolutely meant as a compliment to me, so I'm happy to hear it. However, it's pretty funny considering the age of this cardigan, the simplicity of the dress, and the lacy earrings that say "grandma" to me.  One gal's trendy is another's granny, I suppose.  You can quote me on that.  I put on this outfit because I was tired and the dress + flowy cardigan felt like pajamas to me.  Pajamas can be the occasion for a party, so I think my students and I were on the same wavelength.

Cardigan: Anthropologie Quiet Moments Cardigan by Line (2008)

Dress: Calvin Klein, via Ross (worn here, similar here)

Shoes: Bakers (buy here)

Earrings: Anthropologie

Bag: Old, worn down Balenciaga. It's so soft (but dirty) and I still love it

You never get to see my makeup since I'm so smiley all the time.  Here's what it looks like!

Our song today comes from Beach House, a band I was lucky enough to see at Pitchfork in Chicago last year.  My brother is head over heels for them, and even has my mom singing along to "Walk In The Park." Well done, bro. 

Don't you just love days when you think you look schlumpy (interpret that word as you wish) and then get complimented on looking great?  Maybe I should start selecting clothing for comfort more often!
