Ootd September 11

It's all in the details
OotD September 11

It was unseasonably hot today, and while I don't like to wear short sleeves when I'm teaching, I had to make the exception today.  At least my lab coat covers my tattoos!

Bag: Bicycle tote from Forever 21 (it's actually white... bad picture, sorry)

I loved my two little pops of neon orange: the soles of my shoes and the edge of my scarf. Nice and comfy for a hectic work day.

Horses.  OotD August 28, 2013.

Classes start a week from today.  That makes me sad.  I have an insane teaching load and I'm going to be as scary as possible for the first few weeks to get all the people who won't be able to handle the course to drop.  It will be better for all of us that way.  This means I probably shouldn't wear a dress with little horsies all over it.  One of the professors called it, "ridiculous."  

Dress: Target (Xhilaration) (on clearance!)

Belt: Target (also on clearance!) 

Shoes: Old Navy beige flats with ankle strap ($10 flat sale!)

Bag: Kate Spade striped flicker bon shopper (clearance...but still pricy)

Necklace: starfish. gift.

Sunglasses: House of Harlow from Popsugar Must Have Summer Fun edition

This is pretty standard for me.  Jeans, tank, sweater, flats.  You'll see a kajillion (yes, that is the correct scientific number) permutations of this outfit if I keep up with my OotD feature.

August 25 OotD

Since I'm all caught up on my old subscription box reviews (whew!), I thought I'd introduce a new daily (or almost daily) feature:

As long as I have something to publish every day, I won't slack off on my blogging.  So, this is my attempt to do that.  I do wear clothes almost every day.  Therefore, I should have something to blog about, right?

Let's get started with my inaugural OotD post!

I went to work today for about 5 hours.  Yeah.  On a Sunday.  

I needed to be comfortable but not wear anything sloppy enough that I'd be embarrassed to run into the chair of the department, who just about lives in the building.  I also knew I'd be working with some strong acids and didn't want to wear shoes I'd be sorry about ruining.

Sunday August 25

Shirt: Old Navy Perfect V-Neck tee in white

Jeans: Lucky Brand Charlie Skinny in gray

Shoes: destroyed Target (Mossimo) floral slip-ons
