This is where my husband went to high school. I’m standing outside of the upper arts room, which I believe was reserved for the really good high school artists — like my husband — a room that I would have never graced with my stick figure drawings and notebook graffiti made of my name + my boyfriend at the time’s last name completed by lots of hearts. I bet you are thinking “Oh that’s sweet, you drove to your husband’s hometown to take commemorative photos.” No, we did drive there but it’s about a block from our house. So is the hospital he was born in, as is the house he grew up in and every person that has known him since he was “this tall.” That’s right, every day is a high school reunion for my husband. You know when you meet someone that someone else knows and you say, “isn’t is a small world?” To that I say, no, it’s just a small town.
This is my “what I would do if I could get my hands on it” skirt, as Tania would call it. Tania — if we didn’t live so far away I’d let you borrow my skirt and a cup of sugar. Only in return for your enviable stack of well-read books and your bike. AND your first born.
What? I just really, really like this skirt.

I love the necklace!! I have a couple that are that type, the chunky lucite, and love the way to pair them up with the basics. Love #10! 🙂
Love the necklace! Plus your outfit looks sooo cute and comfortable too!
Love the outfit! I live in the same type of small town. When I run into older people that I don't know, they ask, "who are your parents?" or "who do you belond to?" Everybody knows everybody in some way. But I love it!!
so simple and yet so chic with those pink accents! i think those shoes are one of your best purchases ever!!
I seriously need to consider getting a pair of those shoes.. they are just so fabulous.. and your necklace looks so edible! I love it.
xx Love & Aloha
With good reason-it's a fabulous shirt. I'm glaring into my closet as we speak, for lack of producing such a skirt. Ha. And I might just steal your shoes. Via the internet? I'm sure it can be done. 🙂
I grew up in the same kind of small town-700 people! We had a gas station, and five churches. And then I moved to Chicago. Haha.

You look fabulous I love the white and gray with the pops of red. That necklace is so pretty.
you are the custest! love your outfits…don't listen to the haters you work with. I dare you to say next time you get the eye roll 'Don't look at me in that tone of voice!' (from movie 'divine secrets of the yaya sisterhood)
We live in my husband's hometown too. It's really awkward when he runs into a high school classmate that's working at a gas station or something!
I'm a little in love with those shoes. I've been in search of red heels for YEARS!
Haha, I love the skirt too! I've wanted it since I saw it on Tieka a few months ago, too bad ModCloth sold out 🙁
You look gorgeous, as per usual! And I always love your photos.

i would only let you trade in that skirt if someone was offering up thier new born. other than that, no deal. the skirts too great.
I LOVE this necklace. Every time I got to LOFT, I feel the urge to pick it up, just like I did today. I probably will stop torturing myself soon. 🙂
Hope you're having a good weekend!

the whole outfit is a ten, but the necklace steals the show!
LOVE the mix of gray and red. Very classy and elegant. And the necklace is the showstopper (cue awful pop song).
Love that necklace. Also looking forward to seeing where you are going to get extra fingers from, now you are past 10.
I really really like that skirt too! Grey + red = chic
Great look!

i looove the pop of red with the shoes!
I really like this look – it's so clean and classic (Ashley Olsen minimalist as I like to call it). I'm so impressed with all of you doing this challenge – I would be the biggest cheater by day 6.
xoxo, Ashley
