My Outfits of the Day

WAYW: Training for the First Day of Grad School Year 1

I was in training last week for my instructional assistant job this semester. It was laid back attire but, of course, I dressed up a little bit.

As I was thinking about my back-to-school outfits, I realized that I'm probably going to be dressing a little like a teacher during my time as a grad student. Let's face it, must of my closet are remnants from my classroom days. Without even meaning to, I may look like a teacher 88.2% of the time because of my blazer+dress or cardigan+skirt combos. I like it though. It's not my first time at the rodeo so I want people to be able to differentiate me from the undergrads. My wardrobe should help. I'm excited about this first full semester of grad school. I can't wait to learn and grow.

WAYW: Double Denim Dots

Today, I had class from 9am to 4pm. I wanted to make sure I was comfortable so I slipped on these cuffed relaxed fit jeans. They’re one of the few non-skinny jeans that I own. I paired the jeans with a light wash denim polka dot shirt. I don’t get to wear this shirt often enough, it’s very cozy.

WAYW: ‘Let Me Pencil You In’ Dress

This is one of my favorite teacher-dresses. It reminds me of Mad Men and 1960s style. I wore it to my interview today with a cardigan. The job is an office desk job, so it seemed appropriate.

I also had to show off my awesome planner with appointment slots in 15 minute increments! You’ll find out that I’m a big nerd about organizers and planners.

Patterned Mini Dress

This mini dress is very versatile. I love the bright pattern and colors. Since I was biking to class today, I decided to slip on a pair of black stretchy pants underneath and pair it with a red skinny belt.

I changed up my picture background so you could see my bright kitchen! It was one of the things that drew me to my house.

The Colorful Professor

I’ve been getting into prints and patterns lately. I decided to pair this chain-patterned top with my fluorescent coral ankle pants. The wind was picking up, so I decided to throw on my favorite professoriate blazer.

WAYW: Navy & Floral

Last night, I used some pipe cleaners to curl my hair. They curled pretty well, but they were a bit too tight. I threw on a hat and this ensemble. I was very comfortable in the Syracuse summer heat.

WAYW: Seeing Red

Had a challenging project in class today, using tools I was very unfamiliar with. The whole ordeal had me seeing red and waiting to hit something with a bat. I stumbled a bit but I learned that I’m a graphics perfectionist and novice at the same time. Very interesting combo.
