Nightmare

Tuesdays are fast becoming a nightmare for me. I work at my part time job from 10-12:30, then go to lecture for the class I teach for from 1-2:30, then it’s back to my part time job for a 3-6 shift, then I teach section from 7-8 pm. So it’s not only a really long day but none of the breaks in-between places I have to be are actually long enough to grab some food. So I eat a lot of crackers, carrots, and almonds while I walk (quickly) from building to building. So Tuesdays are my “dress comfortable because it’s a long, tiring day involving a ton of walking” days which is why I opted for this last week. It’s obviously a fairly casual look but it’s definitely comfy and I think still polished enough to teach in.





dress: Target / leggings: American Apparel / watch: La Mer / cardigan: Old Navy / sandals: Target / necklace: the Met

And feast your eyes on the gorgeousness that is the look book for Ulyana Sergeenko’s debut collection a/w 2011. I am stunned.

Sounds like such a long day!! Those are the worst, last thursday I left for school in the morning @ 730 and got home in the evening at 6 because I had a psych appointment afterwards. So tiring!
I love this comfortable look, casual but still really cute

sounds like tuesdays are a pain, mainly because of the lack of time in between to just stop, eat and relax. but your outfit does look nice and comfy.

the shoes in that collection look really amazing--love them!

Crikey, that is a really long day, but it must be the best night to come home on. Love the Ulyana Sergeenko pictures xx

You are definitely polished to teach in and I think you look great. Your hair is fantastic!!

And ps--have you tried Luna Bars? I get those mothers 5 for $5 and have been eating them for a couple weeks. Have to say they're a new addiction. It's almost a hot mess up in here!!

But they're totally good for you and can help out on crazy days like your Tuesdays. Highly recommend :)

xo,

Loving the fairy tale collection!

And I love your outfit as well. Very artsy and modern, yet looks amazingly comfortable.

I'm not sure I could pull something off that cute if I had your hectic schedule! Lol.

And after all this time, I still can't get over your cute new hairstyle. xoxo

On hard days I also like to follow your rules. If I can look presentable and feel like I'm wearing pyjamas then I'm a happy girl!
