teachers have class

No official outfit post today, I'm laying around the house feeling under the weather on this beautiful day...but I do have exciting news.

As I was reading this blog on Wednesday night, I read a post about another teacher/style blogger, who was going to do a post on teachers who have class and style. I hadn't been on the blog before, but teacher blogger Tara has a great sense of style.

I decided, what the heck-I'll submit a pic and the info and see what happens.

Tara, who writes the blog emailed me back and said the post would be Saturday...

You can visit it here!!

Have a lovely weekend!

thin mints

I could blog all day about the things my students say to me. Y'all. Seriously. They. Are. Hilarious.

I'm emphasizing it to you by typing it ridiculous like that.

The same student who said I looked like a college professor yesterday told me I didn't look like one today. I told him I felt like a thin mint. I didn't even think he would know what I meant.

He came up to me later and the day and asked me, "What kind of cookies do you want?" [He is from Thailand, so imagine it with an accent and it was even more funny. At least to ME! :-)]

necklace: bagala beads

excuse my rumpledy-ness. i had just rushed in for a quick photo op.

the pope is back in town

ah yes.

the pope shirt.

i love this top.

it's so cute and flowy and fun.

i belted it here but i have

decided to let it flow today.

top: zara

pants: madewell

necklace: american eagle

this actually came with more charms

but i felt it really took away from the cross.

so i made it my own by 

removing all but these two.

booties: steve madden

i felt like being kinda plain today, but fancied things up with a pair of purple pants. i think everyone should own a basic black, white, and gray long and short sleeve shirt. they can always be worn if every in a "i dont have a shirt" crisis. i felt like i should have something else on like a sweater, but then i thought my lab jacket at work would have to do. 

love, j

meet lesley.

Lesley is our guest blogger for this Wednesday! She is one of my (Lydia's) co-workers. Jenn and Leah have never met her...but if they had, they would love her! She has an awesome sense of style and is my photog. Enjoy!

Lesley writes:

I am so excited to be on Boy Howdy Daily! I read it with my daughter everyday and we adore it! I love a denim shirt and colored tights. They remind me vaguely of middle school. I also feel great wearing this skirt, it is so versatile and is reminiscent of my days working at Betsey Johnson. I think it is the ruffles. I kind of feel like a schoolgirl, which is good every now and then. I think I should have nixed the sweater though...I was just cold.

Thanks for having me!

the professor

I was feeling very collegiate today. Which, I thought was funny because one of my students told me today I look like a college professor and another told me I look like I belong in a private school. Aren't they so cute...

jumping the gun

i feel i'm jumping the gun a tad

on spring today.

it's supposed to be 60 today in dallas.

so that's my excuse.

and also because i can't get enough

of my man shirt.

so comfortable and classic.

the perfect fit

Call me lazy, but these are the only pair of pants I've ever gotten tailored. Actually, I used to have a big shopping problem at Nordstrom's. I had personal shopper. I would walk in and she would say, "Ms. [last name]! SO good to see you again. What kind of items can I pull for you?" She KNEW my sizes. She would even send me hand written notes in the mail thanking me for my business. Oh wait, I'm snapping back to reality and my whole point now...and the fact I don't live anywhere remotely close to this lovely store. Nordstrom's has excellent customer service and tailors on hand who will tailor your clothing right then and there for FREE. I mean, these pants fit me PERFECTLY. I'm really more of a dress girl, but I'll wear another pair of untailored pants soon and you can compare.

Look at the hem on those babies.

pants: nordstroms

top/sweater: [gifted] nordstrom's-i think

it's monday. i felt like getting sassy with it.
