On the first day of school, one of my favorite Billy Madison clips brings a smile to my face no matter how hectic and stressful the day seems. I asked for some first day of school outfit opinions a couple of days ago, and here's the outfit I decided to wear yesterday for the official first day of school:
I went with the Paisley pencil skirt! I agree with those of you that commented that a pencil skirt is the most professional option, and I couldn't wait to bust this beauty out of the closet. I went with a ruffled tank blouse for a bit of personality.
Cardi: Merona for Target
Tank: Mossimo for Target
Skirt: J.Crew Paisley Pencil Skirt
Shoes: Vintage Joseph Larose
I found these shoes at a vintage store in high school, and they just happen to be that awesome coral/red/orange/flame color that is so huge this fall. They also match the Paisley pencil perfectly.
As far as how the school year is going, day one left me feeling extremely worn out. We felt the sting of budget cuts big time at the end of last year, so this year, I have two sections each of three different classes, cafeteria duty, and no planning period (on top of advising the school newspaper and being in charge of our school's TV studio). I was on my feet ALL DAY today (thank goodness Joseph Larose knew how to make a good shoe), and I had no time to collect my thoughts, run copies, breathe, etc. I have a feeling this year is going to take a lot out of me. I think I'll be heavily relying on weekends for blogging, wedding planning, and recharging my batteries.
I also found that I subconsciously drank quite a bit less water (no time to go to the bathroom, except for lunch!), and I was parched by the end of the day. I'm a big advocate of drinking lots and lots of water (I normally drink at least 4 or 5 bottles a day), so I'm hoping that drinking less won't adversely affect my health/immune system/skin/overall wellbeing.
I got my liquid silk skirt in bright dahlia in the mail, so I'll blog a few pictures of it by the end of this week.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday!
