The weather was great here in South Texas! Pretty much felt like Spring.

Chunky sweaters are a great investment piece. Buy one or two really quality ones and you’ll wear them for years to come. I have this hunter green one and a camel colored one and they never go out of style and they are so classic. I got them both from Gap. Also, these Sanuk yoga mat sandals are soooooo amazing. 

Sweater (old) Gap $38

Leggings Forever 21 $4

So professional team apparel can be expensive, but I’ll share a tip. I like to get my NBA or NFL tees and tanks from TJ Maxx and/or HEB Plus. The Spurs tank top I’m sporting here was only $10 at TJ Maxx. Check the athletic wear section for random pieces at exceptional prices. 

  

So I’ve been feeling a little ‘blue,’ and thought this dress was appropriate to…make me feel better! So here’s the scoop. My dog chewed up one of my boots. I had only worn them once! I debated on throwing the boots away, but instead I took them to a cobbler. And then forgot about them for two months. One day last week, I remembered to go pick them up. The only cobbler in town, that I’m aware of, is in the mall a.k.a. Danger zone. So I was just going to use the drive-thru but had a strong urge to walk in. Lol. Picked up my boots. They look great by the way. Like new again. Well, as I said, I walked in and  decided to peek into Forever 21. I saw this dress and thought, ‘You don’t need this. You never go out.’ But I told that little thought to get lost and bought the dress. Well, originally, I was going to drive up to Fredericksburg/Luchenbach this weekend, all by my lonesome, but got an invite from my dear friend, Ashley, to get dolled up for her birthday and I had just the dress! And for under $30. You can’t beat it.

Dress Forever 21 $27.90

Shoes Target $19.99

  
Comfortable and casual for Friday. My feet didn’t even hurt in these booties. 

  
Aside from this being a show that my brother and I watched when we were little, this sweater is super soft. Perfect for heading out to check on my friend’s mom’s cats while she’s out of town. 

  

This scarf didn’t go over well with my students, but I liked it! I got, ‘is that a neck brace?’ And, ‘I bet your neck is really warm.’ Lol. 

  

I lived in this fleece cardigan over the holiday break. Now sporting it at school for casual Friday. 

  

I was so sleepy this day, but once I got into the swing of things, it wasn’t too bad at all. I love the dramatic, but simple look of this scarf. 

  

I love the contrast of this outfit. Polka dots, hot pink, and cheetah print. Getting back to work Tuesday was a breeze in this outfit…then came Wednesday 😞
