These amazing gold and silver flats were part of my bonanza at the thrift store last week. I have been dying to wear them! I threw this outfit together this morning, and Eric and I headed over to campus to take some pictures.
I am totally in love with this little belt–I think it came from a dress that didn’t fit me, but I am glad I held onto it! I love the stripes and the red:)
The skirt is one of my old favorites–an old-school tennis skirt that is so perfect for hot days like these!
This shirt is my “teacher shirt”–something about the ruffles made me feel magically authoritative, so I always used to try to wear it on my first day of teaching.
I think this little cardigan is from a clothing exchange party. I could not resist the polka dots! This little guy gets so much wear!
My mom, a fellow magpie, was kind enough to give me this silver necklace, which she found at our favorite thrift store. Having a mom with the same shopping priorities is so unquantifiably awesome!
I really don’t wear much makeup, but I have been having fun playing with it lately. I was lucky enough to find a wonderful makeup artist for our wedding, and she gave me a really natural look, which made me happy, because I wanted to look like myself. This is the lip combo I wore on that amazing day–just a nude liner with some shimmery lip gloss. I love how it gives me a little shine without being too overwhelming! Kind of like these shoes 
Lovely photos; the lip gloss (shimmer!) is great. Not to mention the shoes. Life is always better when there are pretty, shiny things around.
p.s. office hours are great; I get to catch up on my blog reading, as well as the news.
Thank you! Eric got a new lens for his camera, and it is awesome:) And he is awesome too:) I remember the glory of office hours fondly–glad you are getting a chance to catch up! I miss you, but I’m glad I can keep up with your adventures on the blog!
