Black on black

On Friday each grade at my school was assigned a color to wear for Spirit Week. I chose to dress in black, like the 3rd graders (both because it's easy and because the 3rd graders this year are the biggest bunch of hypochondriacs I've ever met so I feel like I'm a part of their class.)

Vest - thrifted Express

T-shirt - Threadless

Cropped pants - thrifted NY & Co.

Wedges - Ralph Lauren

Friday night Nate and I made pizza from scratch then went and watched hockey and had a few beers with a friend. Saturday Nate had to work at the photo booth all day and I had to waitress in the evening. I started stenciling our little entryway (we painted it black a few weeks ago and I cut out the rose stencil myself.) So far so good!

I'll show you it again once it's finished (if I ever have a night off to work on it again!)

Sunday I had to waitress the Mother's Day brunch all day, then called my mom, then Nate and I sat by the pool and played cards for a while since it was not raining for once.

Monday... more black.

Glasses - thrifted vintage American Optical (lenses replaced)

Shirt - thrifted Target sample

Skirt - Future Paradise

Wedges - Ralph Lauren

Twoday

Wednesday... it was "school shirt day" for Spirit Week at the school where I work. But I changed out of my black school tee and into a plain black shirt for the outfit photo since I don't want to plaster the name of my school all over the internet.

Necklaces - DIY

Shirt - thrifted Target sample

Bangles - thrifted, flea markets, etc.

Skirt - American Apparel

Ballet flats - Target

Necklace detail (I was actually wearing one more at school but I gave a purple one to a 1st grader who was having a really rough day.)

Thursday... it was "Twins Day" where all the kids dress the same as a friend or as their teacher. Since I work alone in my office I figured I wouldn't have a twin anyway so I wore my most unique dress instead. Rebel, rebel.

Dress - vintage Alfred Shaheen

Necklace - thrifted vintage

Shoes - thrifted Nine West

A polyester dream

Yesterday... 

Jacket - Brooklyn Industries

Dress - thrifted vintage

Bangle - J.Crew Factory

Wedges - Nine West Vintage America Collection

I feel like I wear this dress constantly, but I guess I've only worn it 7 times on the blog. I tend to throw it on a lot in the summer, when I blog less (or basically not at all.) Regardless, it's a winner!
