Back at it

We all hate this time of year, it’s cold, dreary and nothing to look forward to until March when spring arrives… if it arrives at all! Rhode Island is a tough place to live in the winter; people hibernate, roads are treacherous and if you’re a teacher then the work days are long. 

For me it’s been difficult since having my son last December 2015 to come to work everyday but I keep telling myself it’s worth it in the end. I envy the SAHM who can adhere to their own child’s schedule instead on 25 schedules of others people’s children. I’m not complaining because I love my job but honestly I love my life more! Oh and FYI my tree is still up, ornaments are removed but lights still remain until I muster up the energy to take them down.

Christmas Time is here

As we come to the end of the holiday season and almost our Christmas break… I have a lot of time to reflect on the previous year and teaching. I have come to realize that dressing to impress does do just that… Impress. Whether its you, your co-workers or your boss, dressing professionally and fashionably shows them that you take time for yourself to get ready, which translates into your life as well. So if you’re taking the time to dress nicely then you’re also probably taking the time to make your classroom a better place as
well.

Here’s ugly sweater day at school before our break, where we decided to show our playful side to everyone.

Stripes for Spring

I didn’t get a good picture of my outfit yesterday but here’s the one I took… The pants are linen and loose fit at the top and slim through the ankle. This seems to be the popular trend this year and I’ve actually had these pants for three years, they’re from The Loft. The shirt is also old but Michael Kors so it wears well… Shoes are my signature nude BCBG pump and jean jacket Gap…

May Fiesta

Since April vacation, school has been flying by… I can’t believe it’s already May 5! Happy Cinco de Mayo and also Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to all my fellow teachers. One of my students loved my outfit today and took a #snapchat of me for themselves. For those of you who don’t know what #snapchat is, it’s a sharing app that allows users to view a picture or video set on a timer for the people who follow them. Some pictures only appear once and are gone forever… Here it is

Easter Break

It’s finally spring here in temperamental Rhode Island! With summer right around the corner, the weather is still confusing most of us around here. Dressing for spring yet trying to not freeze is difficult, especially for a petite person. Layering only makes me look bigger and like I’m a child playing dress up. I opt for my light weight pieces that don’t overwhelm my body type. Here’s my Easter outfit from last Sunday. Let’s just call it a #snapchatselfie
