I'm honestly not a huge fan of this look.
However I do feel it's important sometimes for me to show my "loser looks"
so we can all learn from my mistakes!
STYLE TIP: When accessorizing with jewelry...know when to stop.
Here I have layers of necklaces + watch + ring + headband.
Earrings would have been waaaaaay too much!
Jeans - F21 (Purchase HERE)
Headband - L. Erickson from Nordstrom (Purchase HERE)
Necklaces - H&M (available in stores now)
Shoes - Cole Haan
Watch - Michael Kors (Purchase HERE)
Top - Nordstrom
Bag - Vera Bradley
So what would I have done differently for this look?
Traded out the skinny jeans for THIS pair!
Moments of the Week
"Umm, Excuse Me?" Moment
A father shows up at school to meet with me about his daughter. He is worried that she is going to get in more fights with other girls because "these girls be hatin' on her." The following exchange took place:
Dad: "My baby girl...you know what I'm sayin'...she just be trying to fulfill her destiny. These lil' girls be trippin' on her and she be reactin' with her hormones!"
Me: "Okay..."
Dad: "Baby girl be reaching puberty yo. She be getting bosoms now."
Me: "Okay..."
Dad: "I mean, how old were you when you got your bosoms?"
(insert crickets)
Dad (looking right at my "bosoms!"): "10? 11?"
Me (completely red): "Um, I don't remember..."
Dad: "12?"
Oh, and did I mention his 8-month pregnant wife was sitting next to him the whole time?
"Things are Looking Up" Moment
So far so good!
My goal this year is to beat the women who pick the teams based on how cute the mascot is or because they "had a friend go to Duke and they received a "really good education."
Grrrr! :)
"What Just Happened?" Moment
I was in a first grade classroom doing my school psychologist "thing" and set my coffee down to help a student. Well, when I'm done I turn around, grab my coffee and take a drink as I walk to another table. This little boy follows me and taps my hip (yes...too short for the shoulder). He has the most gigantic grin on his face.
Me: "Why are you smiling?"
Boy (giggling like crazy): "I like coffee!"
Me: "Did you drink my coffee?"
Boy: "Maybe."
My responses fell into the following options:
a) "You owe my $2 kid."
b) "WTF!? You're 6 years old. I am not. I need my coffee!"
c) "I just drank from the same cup as a 6 year old!? That means I have his saliva in my mouth! Oh golly I'm going to be sick!"
But being the professional that I am, I chose:
d) "hmmm, okay. You drank my coffee. Bring me your lunchbox."
And then I took his cherry-flavored Capri Sun. Tit-for-tat I say!
Thanks for a great week friends!
Please know how much it means to me that you stop by...

@ Mary Ann - Ahahaha! I know! I felt so awkward and embarrassed. I had to resist the urge to cover my "bosoms" while sitting there! LOL!
Have a great weekend girl!

Xoxo,

U took his capri sun? Ok real professional there..

Cherry Capri Sun is the best. Tell that kid he can have coffee as long as he brings you an extra juice box (bag?)

hahahah i love your friday posts :) always make me smile! have a great weekend pretty, XO!
ew ew ew..I would like to say I can't believe that little boy drank from someone else's drink (coffee??), but I'm not surprised. My (four year old) niece has classmates that do stuff like that all the time. Kids these days. Curious to know what his reaction was though.
Have a great weekend!
LOLLLLLLLL I love that you took his juice box. I always wait for these Moments of the Week, don't stop them! :)
ha ha, so funny! have a great weekend!
I hate to say it. But some of the parents nowadays, don't need to be parents. SMH Marion, if this is a loser look, I'll take it anyday. HAHAHA You always look fab girl. Have an amazing weekend.

@ everyone - Glad you all find the same lil bits of humor in life :-) And just so you all know, he is a sweet little boy whom I know very well. We discussed what a good consequence would be...he came up with the idea for the capri sun and I thought it was a good one. He was able to enjoy it the next day...no biggie:) But it's a huge part of my job to help kids learn about natural consequences and to take responsibility. So to the Anon comment above, I would say yes...it was pretty professional :)
XO - Marion
haha I would have wrote a note home saying "(boys name) needs to bring in $3 in an envelope tomorrow to replace what was not his"
Is that professional enough? LOL

hahahahaha!!! I love your sense of humor. Too funny! I also love this look.
I really like this outfit, I don't think it's a "loser" look! Wow, so scary that that couple is having ANOTHER child!?!

oh my! I actually did lol! I love your Friday stories. But I must say, I'll bet you aren't paid enough!
As for the outfit, the skinnies aren't bad, maybe a darker wash would've worked better? (and I LOVE your alternative)
Oh I love this soooo much! I cannot believe 1. that father asked you when you got bosoms and 2. the word bosoms still exists.
For what it's worth, I don't think this is a loser look at all, considering I would have styled it with Converse sneakers instead of heels! I think you look great. Have a great weekend!
nice )))following you now
