Today was a work day in which I set up camp at a coffee shop and work like a mad women uploading for hours the new collection for Bloom. What I want to wear on these days is pajamas, while being wrapped in a warm blanket. What I should wear is real clothes sans blanket. (You should always wear real clothes, by the way. Always.) I suppose stretchy jeggings and a big, cozy sweater are a close second to pj’s. But still — the blanket was missed. 

Today a 14 year old told me she liked my outfit. She’s either a very sophisticated teen or I’m dressing like a tween again. You know what? I’m going to go with sophisticated teen. She knows the chicness of exposed striped socks when she sees them.

  4. So funny Kendi. I never know what to think when my 12 yearl old students say they like my clothes. What's worse, sometimes I like theirs….

  5. I recently discovered the skinny jean-exposed sock-bootie look and I, too, love it! It lets me wear warm socks with my cute bootiesย  in this South Dakota winter while still sporting my beloved skinnies. I am so glad this look is "in".

  13. I would have never thought to pair stripes with dots, so clever! I think the pop of color with the socks is pretty creative too ๐Ÿ™‚

  14. Definitely go with the sophisticated teen; I think we underestimate just how mature a lot of teens are these days. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  15. I don't often copy other bloggers outfits, but I'm going to have to make an exception in this case. ย The socks and sweater combo is ridiculously cute!

  16. Is it funny that Iย take it as a huge compliment if my 4th graders love my outfit? The other day, one of myย fashionable students told me she had the same hot pink skirt from (little a) abercrombie. Although my skirtย was not from there, I did feel just a tad bit more stylish.

    Love those jeans! Iย adore the whole dotted denim trend! ย

  19. Do you have a more budget friendly option for that bag?? I'm in love, but it's out of my $$ range (boo grad school!)

  20. So excited to see the new Bloom collection! ย And I love that you put together such a perfectly cozy outfit that still has so much sartorial interest. ย I have wedge booties just like these and wear them all the time, aren't they the greatest?!

  23. Do you know why Pinterest won't let me pin your outfit photos anymore? ๐Ÿ™ it says this photo cannot be pinned!
