Take One Day 5: Tan Boots... A Cheat Day

I feel like I cheated a little bit today. I took the easy route and went with the shoes from yesterday. Just like what I did for Day 2. Originally, I was gonna take the (faux) leather jacket but I didn't anticipate the weather. Today was actually really nice and I felt that wearing a jacket was kind of inappropriate. Today felt like a light sweater day. As usual, I was running late so I took what I felt was the easiest to take from the last outfit: the tan boots.

sweater/ cardigan: Papaya

Have a great weekend! (An extra fun weekend if you have Monday off, like I do! Yay!)

Take One Day 4: Crocheted Cropped Top

Belated Happy Valentine's day, dear reader! I wish you had a spectacular one! I made sure to tell my students that Valentine's day is a special day for thinking about people you love. Your family, your friends, even yourself. To me, it was also a day of indulgence. I've had one too many sweet treats. Oh, the curse joys of being a preschool teacher!

Here's yesterday's outfit. I made sure to add some red to valentinesify the yellow cropped top from yesterday.

One of my fashion goals when I decided to share outfit posts was to get outside my comfort zone and experiment more with items in my closet. I'm not one to necessarily be adventurous with mixing prints and textures so I was quite pleased with myself for pairing the dots with the crochet pattern with the mixed pattern grandma scarf and the crochet texture with the leather jacket. It all comes together, don't you think?

Take One Day 3: The Long Dress Shirt

For today's outfit, I took the shirt from Day 2. I must admit that this was a little tricky. Both Day 1 and Day 2 only had a couple of items that I can take - that's what I get for oversleeping and rushing in the morning all the time.  Also, this dress shirt is so old and worn, it's borderline sloppy. Lol But again, my job lets me, if not requires me to wear items that I don't mind getting ruined. So anyway, to dress it up a little bit, I decided to also wear this cute mustard yellow crocheted top. It's perfect to cover up a tiny spot on my shirt that may or may not have been from the chocolate drizzle on my yogurt. I swear I'm like a three year old sometimes.

I bet if I hadn't said anything, you wouldn't notice I got a haircut huh? I still don't know how I feel about it. I've wanted to get legit bangs (not side swept) all my life and yesterday, I sorta kinda decided to go for it. I told my stylist to make it short enough that I can wear it like regular bangs but long enough to do it side swept if I didn't like it. As you can tell, the bangs freaked me out so I wore it mostly side swept today. I feel like this (sort of) new style makes my face rounder than already is. We'll see how I feel about it tomorrow.

OOOHHH, and guess who got a surprise flower delivery at work today?

They were beautiful!

Happy almost Valentine's Day, friends!

Take One Day 2: The Brown Boots and A New Favorite FroYo Flavor

This is yesterday's outfit. I took the dirty brown boots from Day 1 and paired it with a long dress shirt and tights. 

Sunnies: Eye2Eye (Philippines)

Necklace: DIY

Long Dress Shirt: H&M

Vest: Papaya

Purse: Nine West

Tights: Old

Boots: Body Central

And, yea, My boyfriend took pictures of me in the parking lot.... Of a commercial center...... At 4pm when everybody was out. No shame.

We went to get haircuts! Yay. You'll see my new do in the next post but for now, let me tell you about a new frozen yogurt place we discovered. It's called Menchie's and it's like a happy pink yogurt heaven. They have relatively the same flavors you'll find at Yogiberry but they have Dulce de Leche which is now my new favorite. It tastes just like the Haagen Dazs ice cream! Yum! They have fewer toppings than other yogurt places but they have cool whip! Double yum! I recommend trying it out if you're in the Rockville area!

Stay tuned for today's outfit post!
