Day 6: Greenland

So last time I arrived too late to the breton stripe party and now I am a bit early to the blazer party. I don’t teach or tend to much of anything outside the house on Tuesdays so I figured I’d get in my blazer wearing today. I’m not sure if this was completely intentional on my part or not, but I am kinda rockin’ the monochromes with this green on green on green and purple on purple action here. I mean it works but that’s a lot of color on color monochrome that borderlines matchy matchy.

I’ve had this blazer for at least five or so years and have worn it often for teaching. I feel like a blazer in the classroom commands a certain respect and authority but depending on how you style it, it can also convey a sense of casualness. Since this blazer is a little ill-fitting around the waist, I usually leave it unbutton which I hope conveys a confident and relax energy.

I’m going to be honest here. I actually like this outfit more without the blazer. I think it has an interesting “My Girl Friday” retro vibe to it. What do you think? Blazer or no blazer?

You may notice that I am not wearing tights. Well, that’s because it was in the 70s today. I guess So. Cal. is over that cold streak. I guess I have been wearing tights and pants so often lately that my legs have gotten incredibly pale. I mean, I’m not one to tan but still this is Nicole Kidman on a bad day sorta pale. I do have to say though with all the running I have been doing and all the walking up and down flights of stairs to get to my classroom, my legs are looking pretty damn good. Anyone know where I can register as a leg model?
