Day 76 - The Ugly Christmas sweater Phenomenom

Who could ask for more?  A crew neck sweatshirt with a happy Christmas Tree made of happy Christmas bears.   On the last day before break we have an ugly sweater contest. 

Have a great holiday season!

DAY 75 - I got my nails did..

Yep, shellac is awesome

So yesterday, I had a "me" day.  I got my hair and nails done up.  The nail lady said that I had nice nails.  Whenever they are long, I like to get them painted.  I guess i have nice nail beds.. Thanks Mom.  I can't paint my own nails or do my own hair, I guess that is a side effect of being a gym rat and playing basketball everyday forever.  So I am riding out my new hair do until about Friday.


I supported local business in both ventures and then had dinner at a local eatery with a friend.   It was a great day.  Sometimes you just need to do you.

Again, dress down day.

Day 74 - Oh Yes, Dress down for the rest of the week.

Santa came early this year.  Dress down for the rest of the week.  This is one of the great perks of teaching.  Jeans, a school shirt (which was a yearbook fundraiser which is my club), and sneakers.

High socks and skinny ankles..

Yes, I am wearing low top Chuck Taylors.  For some reason, ala Wiz khalifa and his Taylor Gang (He is a rapper from Pittsburgh who wears Chucks) have brought chucks to our school in a big way.  I guess I am just old, but didn't Snoop Dogg wear them all the time too????  Anyway....

I remember being in NYC when I was little, maybe 10 and my sister and I got some Converses.  Just to let you know how fashionable I was at 10, my sister and I both got high top, no not like the ones that just cover your ankle, but ones that went almost half calf, like boots.  Mine were Teal on the outside, but when you folded them they were an electric yellow.  I always wore them down.  Bianca, who is a little more conservative, got gray and pink (not sure inside/outside colors).  I just google searched to find them, but to no avail.


Since then, I have always had a pair, (I can only remember)  Batman pattern high tops, Black with pink high tops, and now black and white low tops.  I have matured so much :)

Day 73 - The quick change in the AM

I had a skirt ready for this one with some patterned tights, but when I woke up this morning from a pretty crappy night of sleep (which is weird for me because I am really good at sleeping) and changed my thoughts.  It was super chilly in my bedroom and the black pant option was screaming my name. 

I was looking through my SELF magazine and was noticing the playfulness of patterns.  I want to do this more often but not sure the correct way to do it.  All the magazines say chose one big pattern and then choose a complimentary color palette with a smaller pattern.  When I play fashion show at home, it never seems to look right (and who knows the comments that I would get here??).

This is also a short week, so I don't really want to waste my cool winter clothes before the holiday.  I don't know why I think like this but for some reason, I don't dress the same on short weeks. 

Nothing special.

Overall Grade:  B (again for boring, Monday of a short week)

Day 72 - Online drama

Oh my!  let's talk about drama.  High School drama is so great.  It usually stems from something quite insignificant that escalates into he said/she said (or more likely she said/she said).  Everyday, I hear something new that occurred on the weekend or that night, the change from when I was in High School is that the drama has now all gone online.

Gone are the days that you have to confront someone for stealing your boyfriend or insulting your outfit to your face, all you have to do is log on to Twitter and have a tweet battle or sign into Facebook and chat a battle or leave suggestive status updates that can be taken in any manner.  These two forums allow for anonymity and extreme arrogance.  You can definitely say something online or text that you would never say to anyone's face.  So how gutsy do you really have to be anymore?  A simple text can start the drama of the century that will only be actually discussed with others that aren't even involved behind closed doors of the classroom when within the hallowed halls of a high, you will eventually pass whoever that you need to confront, but you have your online shield. 

I am not one for drama, but I do understand the gutsy - ness that comes with the safety net provided by the computer or cell phone.  My advice to this online generation is that technology can be helpful to get your ideas across, but don't underestimate the value of true face to face communication.  So many statements that occur online can be "Lost in Translation" with no tone or inflection which might eventually lead to something lost that can easily be found over coffee with great conversation.

Day 71 - Mental health day

Day 70 - Casual wednesday

There is nothing wrong with a denim shirt.  (Well maybe with jeans).  This is a lazy outfit, but still put together.  I got called to go to work last night, so my outfit planning was cut to the 10 minutes that I gave myself to get ready. 

Studded heels.  Awesome.

As I look at this again, I think I look pregnant.  This would be the second time this week (The first picture on Day 68 is still on my phone and I didn't upload it).  I need some new clothes.  (But at least my shoes are cool)

Overall Grade:  C (Just getting by)

This is just a complain type day.  I have Christmas break fever.  6 Days, 6 days.
