Yes, you read that right. I take all of my classes on Wednesday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. Don't worry, I have some gaps in there for meals, but I am on campus for 12 hours. I've discovered that I have to dress for comfort as well as style if I am going to survive Wednesdays.
I always bring a cardigan but lately I've worn a sleeveless top to be ready for any temperature. I've also learned that a no-nonsense updo keeps me focused. I ALWAYS play with my hair and don't notice it.
Unfortunately, my camera wasn't cooperating this morning so this was the best pre-12 hour picture I could get. Top is from Rue 21 and I'm obsessed. I wear it all the time. Necklace was like 99 cents form Deb. There's the infamous Goodwill cardigan from high school.
The pants - now those are a point of pride for me. I found them at Goodwill this Friday. They're high-waisted with a bit of shimmer woven into the fabric. Probably worn by a 60-year-old before me, but I think they look fab and I got a few compliments on them today.
My bag is from Marshall's : 10 dollars and it held 5 texts books and my iPad all day! The scarf has a tree on it and it's from...GOODWILL!
I had a meeting on Sunday for school. For outside of work meetings, I want to present a neat look, but I don't necessarily get as dressed up as I do for work. This time, I put on this plum-colored shirt and white lace skirt (after Labor Day, like a boss). I had a new Goodwill belt with embroidery thread in deep fall colors I wanted to try with it. I also wore it with my gold necklace tucked under the collar. To dress it down, I wore my comfy bronze-colored moccasins from Wet Seal that I got for $5 this summer. I think they are much more of a fall shoe than summer, don't you? I really liked the mix of deep fall colors with my white skirt. You don't think summer at all with this mixture, do you? That skirt is almost too warm to wear in the summer, anyway!
