It has been like, I don't know, 3 weeks since the first and only What I Wore Wednesday on this blog? You know what is hilarious about that? The past couple weeks I have thought, "maybe I should post my outfits to my blog..." and then I was like, "no, I can't! I only took like 2 pictures!" TURNS OUT I took exactly 12 pictures, and now you all get to endure them today!
Here's a disclaimer: I'm not a fashion blogger. This is slightly because I'm lazy, but mostly because I just don't care that much. I love getting dressed. I love my clothes. I love the confidence you feel when you know you just nailed an outfit. Maybe that makes me a little shallow, but guess what? I also don't really care that much about that. The other thing I need to tell you is that I shop sales. One thing that really bugs me about most fashion bloggers is that everything they own costs like $237 individually, and I'm like THANKS BUT NO THANKS you know what I mean?
For instance, at J.Crew I love all their things but I'm not a moneybags by any means. I'm just a poor teacher woman trying to put her husband through college. So I shop their 40% off sales and I get an extra 15% off because I'm a teacher. (That's right, teacher friends! You get 15% everything at J.Crew, and also at LOFT! and other stores, but I don't shop there so I don't pay attention. You can google it.) Also, all my Nordstrom stuff? Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, ladies. Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. That's all I need to say about that.
Moving on. Here are some blurry mirror pictures of me in outfits that are affordable and I love them. (Side note: One of my fourth graders told me yesterday that she told her mom she loves my outfits and wants to dress just like me and her mom said, and I quote "I think she dresses weird." So... I'm just going to keep being me. But I can't pretend it wasn't a blow to the old self esteem if ya know what I mean. I'm not a steel wall of emotionlessness. Ok, whatever, moving on.)
