Fancy Day

This week at work it is spirit week.  That basically means I get to wear all sorts of fun things, like pajamas, sports apparel, and mismatched clothes. (the joys of being a teacher) Which also means you will be seeing a lot of casual outfits this week, made up of things I have worn on the weekends or out to dinner recently.  Today, however, is fancy day....so of course I figured a dress and fun jewelry were perfectly appropriate.

  21. I am so jealous of spirit weeks. Sometimes it makes me regret going to work at a college and not in high schools! Love the color of the dress against the cardigan like that. Definitely a good color combination!

  33. That purple is so pretty on you! I love your necklace and clutch too. Oh, spirit week. I'm a big fan of pajama day but mis-match day is a hard one for me. There's something in me that just has such a hard time looking ridiculous on purpose. :)
