Bold lip + Black Tee + Pearl Slides

Happy Saturday, you guys! I go back to school on Monday; inservice Monday/Tuesday, and the kiddos come Wednesday! Where did my summer goooooooooooooo!!!??? I always get mixed emotions at the end of the summer. I love sleeping in, reading for fun, going out on "school nights", taking Pure Barre in the morning, and the general lazing that "summer Mary" represents, but I do love a schedule and structure. I love meeting all my new kids and starting with a fresh group of faces (but then getting to see all my last year's kids become "big, cool sophomores").

I was at school on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday this week just setting up my room and getting organized, and the summer 8th grade to 9th grade program kids were doing a building tour. A few came past my room and were so cute-- they're like, "we have you!! OMG!!! Will we be allowed to eat in your room?" To which I promptly shut the eating down. lol! Crushing dreams before day 1, Mean Mrs. Fremeau. But, it was adorable to hear from and talk to upcoming kids I will have! :) Some of the upperclassmen leading the kids around stopped by my room and told me they loved my style. They said they would always come by to see what I wore each day, and one of the tour guides said, "and you just wore those clothes with confidence!" hahaha! It was super cute.


Okay, okay, enough of me gushing about our amazing students. Now time for why you're here: the clothes!

I wore this super easy look to our friends Daniel and Olivia's house on Friday night. I knew we were going to be playing games and low key pizza eating, so I went with this look. EXTREMELY easy to throw on and go!! I wore a different black tee during the day and got it dirty (lol), so I changed into the exact same one, a back up, that I had. You can never have enough plain black v-neck tees!

The essential black v-neck:

Just saw it's on sale for $11.50! Buy a bunch! And in several colors. You won't regret it!!!

My jeans are old Loft curvy skinny fit, but here are some updated ones:

All 40% off with code: OHYES ! 

My red lip is my go-to MAC- Brave Red or Mac Red are my top two:

These shoes!!!!  They also come in camel! 

I swooped them up from Target when I was *supposed* to be buying WD40 and some sandwich bags, hahaha! But, they're amazing! 

They're the dupes of these, but who cares? I am not above a Target shoe! Amen to $24 sandals! Nothing better than getting my La Croix and string cheese when I get my new sandals, amiright? 

Moon and Lola monogram necklace.

This is actually my old monogram (mHm), but it's so pretty, I never want to let it go to waste! Anna got it for me for being her MOH for her wedding, and it's the gold version. It's the Chesire Handcut Monogram in the medium size. Also, 15% off your first Moon and Lola purchase!

^^ Mike was singing and making me laugh. He's such a good sport. How'd I get so lucky?!

My Raybans:

Absolute classics, Wayfarers will always be in style. I had a tortoise shell pair, too, but they didn't survive a ride on a jet ski back in 2012, RIP.  These black ones were purchased shortly after the incident, and they are in phenomenal shape. 

Old bow bag, but I am loving this one that just came out! This crossbody version is gorgeous, too! 15% off with your first Kate Spade purchase! I want this for a work bag. OMG. Heart eyes emoji. HIGH price tag currently, but wait for one of Kate Spade's surprise sales. Follow her on insta/FB to get the scoop. 

Well, we are off to sneak in some more blog pics, so I have a stockpile once I get back into the zone for school! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!

xxoo
