You Promised Me Summer, You're Giving Me Winter

Woo-hoo! Two outfit posts in one week! Finally.
So, the past three weeks have been tumultuous. First, we found out about some pretty earth rumbling budget cuts in our district, then I was told I would not be at my school next year because of said budget cuts and low enrollment (due to two schools opening/expanding near our borders); then, at the end of the week, my school became a Title I school and I heard that certain teachers might be back next year.
Just when I started thinking about the possibility of relocating to my beloved Bay Area for a job, I found out that my principal (in his true "I get what I want eventually" fashion) somehow managed to get me back next year.
That's probably too much information, but it's an explanation for why I've been so uninspired and absent.

Coconut Records- The Thanks I Get

The Hills are Alive

I got dressed up for Super Bowl, which I don't even care about. I had a completely different pair of shoes in mind but it was freezing and snowy today. Fortunately, I have left a few items of clothing at my parents house, including shoes. For the outdoor excursions, I donned the boots and for the inside lazy time, I opted for the ballet flats.
This outfit is slightly reminiscent of the Sound of Music (minus the PVC leggings, of course).

It's a Vampire Weekend

I got a late start on the outfit front today because I got a massage, sought advice for a dog who I recently found out has anxiety, and picked up this tiara at Claire's because this outfit demanded a tiara, damn it!
Anyway, Vampire Weekend is my new musical infatuation that I can not get over. Hence, the title and music.
Sorry about the excessive pictures. I got into it.









I got a new tattoo! Please excuse the tape marks and slightly irritated skin.

A Little Funk

I know I've been gone for a while. The cold temperatures compounded by the fact that January is the month where teachers (including myself) experience the lowest moral, has led me into a real funk that borderlines depression. I've mostly just wanted to stay home in my sweats and sleep. I've been trying to pull myself out, mostly to be active on the blog again, but we'll see whether or not that is effective. Anyway, I'm trying to liven up my life with a little retro style, which is something I've gotten away from in the last year or so. We'll see how it works out.
