On my first Sunday back in Syracuse. Of course, the snow was waiting outside to greet me. I was happy just to look at it from my porch swing on my patio.
Dress: Target
I had quite a busy Sunday with work for my nonprofit! Click here to read about our first Style Lottery recipients.
Today, I am grateful for a new semester to make my mark on the word.

P.s. Yes, I was severely underdressed for the weather.

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.
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.
I love this cute little dress. It has a high neckline but a v-shaped back. it ties in the back with a bright silk bow. I got it a few years ago from Ross, but have only worn it a couple of times. The weather picked up a little bit so I threw on a light cardigan from Target.
Today, I had the opportunity to lead worship at Texas Multicultural Women’s Prayer Breakfast. The Emcee, April Tone, was a phenomenal host for the occasion.
First, my outfit of the day (OOTD):
The front of my hair was a lopsided Marley braid-hair bun. The back was my hair in a sloppy french braid. Look, it’s growing!
Here’s the song I sang:
Thought I’d share a secret about myself:
I’m a big goof when it comes to lyrics and order of songs. I’m notorious for making my fingers cheat sheets for the music. Here’s my cheat for one of the songs I did today.

This is my first thrift adventure since the pre-Clothes Swap fast. Lol, I haven’t thrifted for a month. Let me tell you, it was rough. But I went to my thrifting spot and I got:
My favorite things that I bought were the blazer and the dress. I’m definitely taking them to New York with me!
My outfits for our Fathers’ Day weekend trip. Those wedge heels were lifesavers. I discovered how versatile they were.
My friend Soluto had a birthday dinner and the dress code was dress to impress. Last week, my friend/coworker Adrian gave me her awesome thrift find because she’s a great friend and the dress was too short for her. This class engine red dress paired with some pearls and some pumps was definitely a winner.
