Columbus Day Browsing

With a day off there wasn't much else to do than catch up on some shopping, or in my other line of work I call it "research".  Here are a few of my favorite things I came across today.

Casual Digital Sequins

Since this is my day off school, it's only fitting that I put up a casual off-duty look today. This is from a few weeks ago actually on a casual Friday at work. 

All my girl students where enamored with these shoes. I was giving directions for the lesson that day, but those ten-year-olds couldn't look up long enough to see my face and show that they understood me. 

Distracted by sparkly things, I've been there before girls.

See, not actual sequins, just a sequin print!

Day 3: Pink and Camo

When in doubt I tend to grab pink. Surprisingly enough even the hottest shade of pink matches with a great deal of colors and patterns. As you can see here it pairs quite nicely with my Gap camo skinnies!

Hope you enjoyed the three days of camo and maybe it even inspired some looks of your own!

Day 2: Little Boy Camo

Sometimes I go shopping with a friend and I wind up the one with nothing to try on. Shocking, I know. 

That happened to me on a recent trip to Old Navy with blogger friend Amy. While waiting for her outside the fitting room I began to wander around the boys section. Tucked away on a lower shelf I found this camo tee shirt (also in olive green) for $6. And with the BOGO sale, getting both colors was only $9 total so I had to do it. Especially after eyeing the J. Crew women's version for well over $40.

Even Amy purchased a kids item. She scored this adorable glittery star hoodie for less than $20! All in all a good day in the Old Navy kids section.

Navy Camo

This is turning into a very trend-heavy week. On top of yesterday's black-and-white trend that is so hot right now, there is also a camo craze out there too. It has struck me hard and I wore camo 3 days this week to work.  

Are you wondering how I managed to pull off professional camouflage looks not just once, but multiple times? This lady-like camo shirtdress is the first of 3 camo looks that will be on the blog this week. Get ready and hope you can find me! Get it? Sorry bad camo joke that my students seem to enjoy.
