Pink Jacket and a Floral Dress

This is what I wore to parent-teacher conferences a few weeks ago. As I walked to my car that morning I received two compliments on all my colors and was commended by another woman for trying to bring Spring to Chicago. Now that it's a few weeks later I see it didn't work! Come on Spring. can you please show up before summer?

Canary, Polka-dots & Navy

I had been wanting to try out this look for a while now and was reminded of it by Anna's facebook picture. And since I was thinking of her already, I threw on the necklace she sent me to top off the look. This long necklace thing is really working for me lately!

Emma Pillsbury and I

Now that the sun is setting super early, Amy (my photog/blogger partner in crime) and I find ourselves chasing the sun after school before it sets to get a few good outfit shots. Needless to say our location options have become quite creative as you can see. 

Last year I was lucky enough to snag this skirt on sale at Anthropologie. I then later saw it on Emma Pillsbury on Glee and was thrilled that my skirt was on TV! Her character and I have very similar taste in teacher attire. This is now, and will forever be known as my Emma Pillsbury pencil skirt. See how she wore it here on Glee! 

 This skirt has really great and slimming fold detailing

 Orange screw-on studs that I think look very similar to the Kate Spade versions. These ones are from Grandma!
