H&M Colorful Jacket

This is an old outfit from when school was still in session. Lucky for you, if you like this jacket, I've been seeing it around in the H&M clearance section. Apparently there aren't many girls who like to wear insanely colorful jackets to work, let alone pair them with stripes, so there were quite a few left. To all of you out there who fear no color or pattern, go check the clearance rack and score this jacket for an amazing price!

Side note. It was on the day I wore this that I was told by 2 separate incoming Middle school girls that I looked like Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande. Should I be ashamed or proud?

Pleated Faux-Leather Skirt

Don't judge this pleated skirt by all its wrinkles from a long day of teaching and talent show dance practices. It was a great find from one of my favorite guilty pleasure stores, JC Penny. I think I even scored it for under $18 bucks too. The best way to wear a faux-leather skirt to work as a school teacher is to have one that comes in a longer length like this one. I'd even go as far as saying it passed as professional looking.

Goodbye Santorini

This was our last morning in Santorini. I think after seeing the last few posts, you can understand why this was a sad day. Santorini is the kind of place you wish that time stood still and work and responsibilities didn't matter and you could just stay there forever. 

But all good things must come to an end, and so this one did. We got picked up to catch a flight back to Athens where we stayed for one night, and then flew back home in the morning. Only one post left from Greece after that, it's back to the Chicago city streets backdrops. Are you as sad as I am?

Summer Time Classics

This dress is two summers old and I still think it's just perfect every time i wear it. It never gets old. These sandals, however, actually are old. I mean really old, like six years maybe, and in shoe years that's like 100. I've never been able to get rid of these old classics because they are just so darn comfy, easy to slip on and match with all things summer!

What do you have that you consider a summer classic?
