Week 5 - Short

This was a short week.

And by that, I do not mean that we were lucky to have a four-day school week.

Nope.  Instead, I started off the week by wearing a short dress.  Too short now that I look at it:

 

Rock and Republic for Kohls pumps

                                               

 

 

On Tuesday, I was short of shoe options.  I have a lot of shoes, yet I felt like I could not find the right pair to go with this outfit comprised of a pretty blue blouse that I recently scored for four bucks at Kohls and these floral Moschino pants I bought on clearance earlier this summer from TJ Maxx (yes, you read that correctly).  Anyway, seeing them in pictures confirms that these shoes and this outfit weren't a great mix, but, alas, you live and you learn said the teacher...

Vince Camuto open-toe booties

 

 

And so, by Wednesday, I went with a "short" heel...aka flats:

Steve Madden Luxe cheetah print flats (with slight wedge)

And short ones again on Thursday:

Talbots cap-toe flats

Students question me all the time on how tall I really am, but the funny thing was that while standing next to one of them on Wednesday, I looked up at him and, in all genuineness, said, "Gosh, you've gotten taller!" 
He looked down at my feet and replied, "No, I didn't, Mrs. C.  You're just not wearing heels today." 



Yep.  Definitely a short week.

Week 3 - Just Two

Two outfits.  

And a few words, as I can't seem to find many.

 

Vince Camuto pumps

 

I think I've used up all my words for this week in constantly (and I do mean constantly) trying to motivate a hundred and something seventh graders to start thinking maturely while also "mommying" them to stop acting immaturely. 

(I can sense you gently shaking your head out of empathy.  Thank you.)

 



Elle (from Kohl's) T-Strap heels

But, anyway, I will end with these last words: 
This dress.  LOVE it.  Feels good. Fits perfectly. And cost me less than ten bucks from Forever 21!! 

Are you speechless, now?

Week 1 - Back to School

J. Crew Factory pumps, Vince Camuto Harty pumps, The Limited wedges, Vince Camuto Harty pumps
 

The first week of school is down!

I've taught sixth graders for the past six years, and this was my first week teaching seventh grade.   I have to say that it is truly mind-boggling how much of a difference a couple of months can make!

Puberty has reared it ugly head and is definitely "alive and well" in the building.

High heels or not, after one week, my students are already keeping me on my toes.
