A honeybee and a lion

Now that it's spring, it's time to start giving up my Saturday nights again, working the photo booth for weddings:

Dress - thrifted vintage (no tags)
Belt - thrifted
Sandals - Charles David

Today it's freezing here (it was snowing a tiny bit this morning) and I'm pretending that I live somewhere warmer... A little boy at my school already told me "You look like you belong in the jungle." I'm hoping he was referring more to the hat than to my wild mane, but who knows?

Hat - thrifted new stock Target
Shirt - thrifted little boys Cherokee
Bangles - thrifted
Pants - Target
Shoes - Colin Stuart

Unlucky

It is dreary and rainy and Friday the 13th. I'm not a superstitious person but today has started off insane, so I'm gonna blame it on the fact that it's Friday the 13th. And the fact that most of my days at work are filled with little things like papercuts and stomach aches, and eventually there are just bound to be days that involve epi-pens and ambulance rides. Luckily they are few and far between, but today was one of them and it's only 10am.

Glasses - thrifted vintage, lenses replaced

Sweater - J.Crew outlet

Necklace - J.Crew outlet

Jeans - Gap

Shoes - vintage Mason Shoe Co.

Can you tell that I went to the J.Crew outlet (with extra 15% educator discount - whoopie!) over spring break? On the way back to Minneapolis from visiting our brother, my sister wanted to stop at an outlet mall in WI  to go to the Carter's store and buy some clothes for Henrik, so I quick ran over to J.Crew. Three sweaters, two necklaces, a blouse and a bangle later, I emerged. So it's a bit of a J.Crew kinda week over here, because I'm always excited to wear new stuff right away!

I need a wind machine

Today is one of those days when it would be nice to be one of those bloggers without a real job (let alone me, who has 3 jobs and an etsy), one who can run off to some cool location and snap a million photos. Because ladies and gents, this skirt is ah-mah-zing when it moves and when it's windy. It's basically always windy downtown where I work, and then I catch a reflection of it in a skyscraper and wish I had brought a camera on my lunch walk... BUT! I can either blog from the stairs or not blog at all because mama doesn't have time for photo field trips (has referring to yourself as "mama" when you aren't a mom died enough for me to resurrect it? It was totally my jam in high school.) Regardless, here's the beautifully moving skirt, standing very, very still. Boo.

Still. Standing. Still. :(

Time to buy a wind machine and make this blog look like an '80s hair band's ballad video.
