What I Wore Wednesday

October 5, 2011 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

I love that it’s really starting to feel like fall here in Maine…well, sort of…this weekend it’s suppose to be near 70!  Anyway, on to the outfits!

Last Wednesday

Pretty Ruffled Top: Target
Pants: Victoria’s Secret, “Christie Fit”
Shoes: Marshall’s
I love the ruffled details on this top.  My students made comments about it all day…they were pretty fascinated with it’s construction!

Thursday

Sweater: Ann Taylor Loft
Giraffe-Print Dress: Target 
Belt: Target
Necklace:  Hmmm, don’t remember!
Shoes: Target
I love this outfit!  I’m a huge fan of animal print, but not the Jersey Shore spandex mini-skirt dress type!  This dress is actually a sleeveless tank style that wouldn’t be appropriate for school but I’ve made it work-friendly by adding a cardi!
Monday (sorry, no pics from the weekend!)

Sweater: GAP
Plaid Shirt: Forever 21
Pants: GAP
Sandals: Old Navy
This outfit was so comfy!  Sometimes I don’t want to do the pointed heels and the business-type dress pants…I just want to feel put together yet comfortable. I think the plaid shirt is so cute with the ruffles and feels ‘fall’ to me!
Tuesday

Sweater: Target
White Collared Shirt: Banana Republic Outlet
Tweed Plaid Skirt: Ann Taylor Loft
Shoes: TJ Max
I found this skirt on the clearance rack at the LOFT a few years back and think it’s the cutest thing!  The pleats in the front are also in the back!  Plus, love the green/teal combo!

Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! Little glimpses of pattern mixing around our home! 😍💗

Please don’t be fooled, though…these are close up shots for a reason- the house is FULL of moving boxes, piles of stuff to be organized and put away, and the DIY project list is LONG! 

But finding small little pretty corners is bringing me a little bit of joy and I hope they do the same for you, friend! 💗🙂#
I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” d I’m nowhere near unpacked or ready to “properly” decorate,  but we needed some functional storage and a “drop zone” near the entrance we most use so I threw together this little area with things I already had…and the best part is, everything is thrifted! 😍 

Eventually, I’ll put wallpaper above the beadboard and will give the fireplace a makeover. But for now, just trying to tackle the endless boxes to unpack and breakdown (peep that pile of cardboard at the end of the video)!!
Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in th Life Update: I bought a house! This has been in the works for a while but I wasn’t quite sure how/when/what I wanted to share. If you’ve been here since my Maine days, you know just how much I enjoy sharing all things DIY and home decor and I’m looking forward to doing just that. 

I know questions will inevitably arise about the circumstances of this move but I will likely keep those details private. We are still in Virginia, not too far from the farm, and are settling into our new routine. 

In true ‘Crafty Teacher Lady’ style, this house is a fixer upper, just like most of my previous homes. It’s in a lovely neighborhood in an adorable town and I’m excited to make some happy memories here as I turn this little house into our home! 
 
C requested pink walls (which I obliged) and Stanley has also already come to visit a few times during family movie nights and he has given his ‘seal of approval’ to the fenced-in backyard! 🤣🥰🐕 

More to share soon (likely in stories) as I continue to tackle my very long list of home projects! 💗
