WIWW Gray Dress & Beach Day

May 30, 2012 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

Linking up for another week of What I Wore Wednesday at The Pleated Poppy!  The weather has been beautiful here in Maine so I whipped out my totes filled with summer clothes and threw on one of my favorite go-to dresses to meet my ladies for lunch:

The dress is from GAP outlet, silver metallic wedges are from Famous Footwear, necklace is from Kohls, and the beautiful teal bag is a gift from my mom!  The company is called Namaste but she purchased it at a trade show in California a few years back so I don’t think you can purchase it anymore. Let’s hope the weather is warm enough to keep wearing this number all summer long!

Over Memorial Day weekend I went to the ocean for the first time this season…yay! The cover up tunic is from Old Navy a few years back.  It has really pretty silver embroidery at the neckline and sleeves. Sunglasses are also from Old Navy.  It was a little chilly at first but then the sun came out and it was spectacular!

    I have a Namaste bag! I love it but the style I have is enormous so I use it for work. Love the silver wedges! All super cute.

      My Namaste bag reminds me of a bowling bag but the color is so fun!

    I'm so happy I found you through WIWW! I'm a high school teacher too with a seriously love of DIYing, when I'm not eyeballs deep in grading! I love the Gap dress and that you got to go to the beach! I hope your summer break is right around the corner!

Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry tre Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry trees in our backyard…watching them bloom has been nothing short of magical. And the scent of the blossoms!! Absolutely divine! 

Buying an older home vs building new can have its perks- one being an established yard (which I just fell in love with). We’ve got neighbors all around, however, the backyard feels pretty private thanks to landscaping done years ago by the previous owners!

I often see many great finds on Marketplace but because I don’t have a truck or trailer, I have to miss out on a lot. I knew this desk would fit in the back of my SUV so I jumped at the chance to grab it. What’s your favorite secondhand find?

Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but als Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but also still lots to do! I’m not in a hurry with this renovation…working full time and having a kid who needs lots of attention really limits what can be accomplished (and budget)!! But, I’ve got lots of ideas and plans and will chip away at things slowly. My main goal was to get the flooring and counters done before moving in and the rest can happen…whenever! 🤣😊

The light fixture uses a rechargeable lightbulb, no hardwiring needed, which makes it super easy to install.

I found the wood artwork at a craft fair and as soon as I read what it said, I just knew it was perfect for her room- she has already proven she can do AMAZING things!! 💗🥰
