WOOT WOOT, hello ladies it is GREAT to be (almost) back into the swing of things! Ok so where to start, there is so much that I’m excited about….
Well first of all I can FINALLY share a big praise the Lord, I have landed a full-time teaching job at an elementary school next year as a music teacher!!!!! EEEEEEEK, I cannot tell you how excited I am about this, after substitute teaching for two years and applications upon applications, I am SO incredibly excited to have a classroom of my own. For those of you who have prayed/offered encouragement, thank you so much, I love teaching music just as much as being a blogger, and vice versa. Two passions, and I am so blessed to get to enjoy them both!

Which brings me to the need to clarify when I said almost back into the swing of things; having my own classroom means I will need to spend the rest of my summer days cleaning, organizing, decorating, and lesson planning to prepare for my kiddos…which means I will be doing my best to post more than once a week, but if I for some reason am absent, you know where I am :). This by no means I’ll be quitting the blog, this has become more than just a fun hobby, and I have enjoyed the wonderful experiences this past year; I just wanted to forewarn you all that I will be very busy (and stressed out) trying to get ready for my new job, and the last thing I want to do is throw together half-hearted posts.
OK, on to the other things I am so excited about but haven’t had the time or chance to tell/show you all–this outfit. In particular, this skirt by the very talented January Hart and this gorgeous sunburst necklace from Edith Marie Jewelry.
Let’s talk about this skirt….Seersucker, and a bow. I could just stop there, and that be enough to hook anyone, BUT it gets even better; it has pockets; and January’s skirts are all custom made, meaning you give her your waist and length measurements, so it is literally made to fit. If you haven’t checked out January’s Etsy shop, you really are missing out on one of the best shops for preppy, colorful summer skirts!
And did I mention seersucker?
And a bow.
Now, on to another best-kept secret; Edith Marie Jewelry; I’ll let you check out the boutique before moving on…..
……….
Either you are staring skeptically at the computer screen or you are picking your jaw up off the computer desk. The prices are absolutely unbelievable, and the quality, I kid you not, is WAY better than the prices would indicate! And that is what makes this boutique one of the greatest finds for us budget fashionistas, the very essence of wallet-friendly fashion. Tassel necklace for $15? Pearl cluster bib? Get both for just under $30, and that’s almost the price of one statement necklace from most “budget-friendly” boutiques.
So I’ll leave you to drooling over checking out both boutiques, and I’m going to get busy with cleaning my classroom (GAH, still sounds unreal!!). But don’t worry, I won’t be dropping off the map anytime soon, I’ve got some fun giveaways and awesome new boutiques to introduce to you all!
Stay Classy!

I used to be a teacher so I remember well all the forms and interviews etc. Well done on getting a new job! I think its amazing sometimes how fashion goes around in circles! I remember gingham from when I was little and now its back in fashion. Your colour palette today is soft and romantic, perfect for Summer.
