The End

Friends, I have some sad news.

While I was talking to my mentor, she mentioned that the new principal did not want us wearing jeans on Friday.




I KNOW! :( It's so very sad. Let us all take a moment of silence to mourn non-jean wearing on Friday, and to honor those teachers that have never had the opportunity to celebrate Jean Friday.







Okay. Deep breath. Since I now have to think about actually putting together an outfit for Friday, I realized I needed more clothes/options. So, I went shopping! :) (hey, something good had to come out of not wearing jeans on Friday, right?!)

First stop: JC Penny. I really like JC Penny for dress clothes. I love their new pricing, as it makes it easier for me to figure out how much I am spending before I get to the register :) Most of my bottoms are from there, and they have a fairly decent petite section (since at 5'2", I qualify as petite!).

 I got a pair of pants, a black pencil skirt, and a cute mint cowl neck sleeveless top. I was also looking at an emerald green pencil skirt, but I wasn't in love with it (although I may go back for it).

Next stop: Maurices. This is a new store for me. I pinned one of their sweater's on Pinterest, and I checked out their website and saw that they have a store in my area! They are a little more expensive than JCP, but they still had some cute stuff.

I got two wrap sweaters (one teal, one gray) and two open cardigans (the pink one is the one I pinned). I felt more comfortable getting tops from them, as I have a hard time finding bottoms (as I am short, and most of my weight is settled around my waist/stomach area), and I didn't like the way their bottoms fit me.

I still want to get a few more bottoms, and a couple pairs of new shoes. But I'll keep you updated on the progress :)

Smiles and Sunshine,
