Gotta Love Target!

I wanted this dress right when it came out, but didn't want to pay full price for it... (yes, cheap I know...) BUT Target ALWAYS marks these lines down, so I waited...

I found it just last week for 50% off! $17 dollars (or something like that!) YAY!

I didn't like the little string belt that came with it so I cinched it at the waist with a braided brown belt and wore the belt backwards. I decided that the Liberty of London print was "a whole lotta look" so I went with it tying the little string belt around my head to bring out my flower power.

All day long, I felt pretty. My long dress swishin'. My hair hippie-in'. When my sister (who is not into clothes like I am) saw me, even she wanted to embrace her inner flower child!

The only negative thing is that even though I LOVE Target, I still felt like everyone was looking at the dress thinking "oh I saw that at Target"... Is that so lame of me?

Do you ever feel that way? Like a million others could produce your look?

Dress: Liberty of London for Target

Belt: Roxy

P.S. HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEANIE! I heart your face! :)

Happy Friday!

This dress is really pouffy after the belt line... In the pics, you can see it poking out of my coat! It's hard to call it a dress as I wouldn't wear it without leggings! (My booty would fall out! :)
But it makes for the perfect 1st grade teacher uniform.
I sit on the floor with kids, I crawl, I squat, I dance...I wear a lot of leggings to work.
Does the activity at your job dictate how you dress? I was just wonderin....

Have an amazing weekend! Enjoy the sun! (It is actually sunny in the NW! YAY!)

Tegan and Sara...

Watch out! Crazy eyes will get ya! I was trying to take a photo like the cuties at Have A Cute Day. Epic fail. Oh well.My bestie and I left town and headed out to Portland for the last stop on the Tegan and Sara tour. The concert was amazing! Those girls (twins at that!) have a wicked set list and an even sicker personal style! The theater was packed with uber hipster haircuts and the most cutting edge slouch skinnies with SUPER EXPENSIVE Onitsuka tigers! An androgynous look that I love and can NEVER pull off. (not with these hips...they don't lie!)
My bestie and I have been friends since we were umm....6 years old? Something ridiculous like that. She has kiddos and we barely ever get to go away together.
So we grabbed the oldest daughter and her friend and took them with us!
Damn. If I didn't know any better, I would think those cheekbones were implants! (I know better because they are on my face! Ha ha!)
Check out Tegan and Sara. And LOVE it!

Nice to see you all!

Class Picture Day!

Class Picture Day!Captured forever in over 20 kids' first grade memory books!
I hope that I smiled OK, that my hair stayed normal and my kiddos didn't do anything extremely odd in the picture.
Then again, I WANTED to do something really odd...
Because I think that it would have been super funny for the teacher to be the one making a face.
Like this...

Forgive me...Forgive me not...

Lately I have put the Blah in Blogger. I apologize to my readers (and fellow blogger friends) that I have been lacking in posts as well as comments. I have fallen off every imaginable "wagon".



I have taken to napping from around 5:30 to 9:00pm every night instead. I have been so exhausted lately.

It is the last 10 weeks of school and my job is to get all these kiddos reading at level by June. I put all the energy I have into that and it leaves me spent and wanting Rootbeer floats for dinner. Not to mention this is also on my plate (maybe this is why I have been so tired?!? TOXIC fumes!)



I hope to pull it together soon. I need to pull it together soon. But right now I am enjoying the time off from society.

Preach it Tom Cochrane!

Don't worry. I will return shortly.

And thanks for understanding!

Camera Phone and Cuteness

I have been eating and breathing this OLD NAVY cardi! Seriously. I wear it every other day!
I wanted to show my outfit today, but right after school I am leaving town (I know, I know...I am always gone!) and wouldn't have time to upload the pics. So the next best thing is....MOBILE BLOGGIN'! I snapped these photos right before I got in my car this morning! My DG sunnies lost a screw, so I borrowed these ROXY sunglasses from my sister (which I actually GAVE to her for her birthday!) She had some coolio ray-bans so she hopefully isn't missing these too much!

The tank is this great watercolor tank that I got from TJ MAXX for $14.99! Such a wicked deal!

Also my secret is still just that...a secret. Believe me. It is annoying me more than you. As soon as I find out the outcome, I will share it with you!

Happy Thursday!

P.S. Easter candy is on CLEARANCE! I can't resist a good deal, so I will skip that aisle! :)

Weight Loss Wednesdays

Weight Loss Wednesdays is postponed until next week. There was WAY too much of this going on over vacation. (sorry that I didn't edit the RED EYES out...) I have weighed in. I gained (but just a bit). I have fallen so far off the wagon I will have to RUN MY ASS off to catch up with it again! HA ha..

@Taylor at Auburn Not Red: I should have listened to you! :) But it was really fun while it lasted!

NO REGRETS because I had a BLAST!

It's good to be back!
