Ok, so does anyone else have those days where they fiddle with every element of their outfits endlessly and still don't get it how they want? That's what happened to me with this outfit... This was like the 4th combination of top, skirt, sweater, scarf, and jewelry I tried. And I'm still not sure I liked it... grrr! I'm not just saying that in hopes that someone will comment and say "oh, it looks good"... I really ended up not being crazy about the results. But, I decided to still post it to show that everyone has those times when things don't work out exactly how they want them to... ;)
Over at Everybody Everwear, they're sporting back to school styles todays, and I wanted to participate, but I was pretty stumped. I finally decided, since I used to teach, to go for a "schoolmarm" look... hence the long plaid skirt and messy bun... and glasses (which I do actually need)... and fall colors... maybe I should have held an apple ;). Anyway, this is my version of a back to school outfit!
P.S. Head on over to check out what everybody else is wearing!
i really like the long plaid; i would probably pair it with cream. i think everyone of my teacher's in elementary school had a plaid skirt!
ReplyDeletei hate when i am fiddling, then run dreadfully late, and then am unsatisfied and feel, blah. it happens to us all!
