New Glasses and a Springy Dress

The moment I saw the sun shining through my windows, I knew it was time for this dress (minus the tights) to come out! I had been dying to wear it since I found it at TJ Maxx.

The other part of this outfit I was excited for was my brand new glasses from Firmoo! They are everything I was hoping for and more. I swear that this frame looked good on every single one of my friends I had try them on. I like that the top of the frame is slightly rounded so it really opens up your eyes! Very flattering.

Firmoo, the online glasses store that provided me with these adorable frames, has great customer service, too. Every question I had (which was a lot because I had never bought prescription glasses online before) was answered super fast! They also offer a virtual "try on" option where you can upload your picture and "try on" glasses! The thing that helped me out the most was that they have tons of bloggers' personal pictures modeling their frames, so you can see what each frame looks like on many different faces/hair colors. 

Firmoo would like to offer HOTPINK readers their first pair of glasses (prescription or non) free through their "first pair free program!!" All you have to pay is shipping! Wanna try it? Click here.

Back To School!

These pictures are from Monday, which was the first day back to school. I felt this was a very "teachery" dress: for those of you who don't know me, I'm a 5th grade teacher on the south side. You will hear that term describing many things I wear in the school months to come, considering that's what I have to look like. 

I have been waiting all summer to wear these pointy-toe bow flats I purchased back when the Nordstrom sale was going on. And this striped dress from Anthropologie is very 50's housewife-ish, which is a look I never seem to tire of.

I was all ready to get my outfit pictures taken during the day at school by some of my lovely coworkers, but silly me, I forgot the memory card in my computer at home so I couldn't save any pictures on the camera. It was a major bummer (I never like to waste a good outfit) until my awesome yoga pal Angelique was able to meet me a bit before our hot yoga class later that evening to take pictures... before we turned into un-photograhic sweaty messes! The sunset was awesome from our rooftop view and made for a grab backdrop.

Big thanks to my guest Photog Angelique! She did a great job!
