do work, sweat more

I wanted to share the amazing athletic haul I did online at Old Navy last week. I absolutely adore their work out line due to the "go dry" cloth that they use for all of their items. I was able to apply the 40% sale coupon to my cart and got points for using my old navy card. Another major thing I was going for with this haul was a lot of dark colors that could be mixed and matched with the running leggings I picked. I have black and pink nikes so I did not want to go too far from that color combination. 

I can't wait to use my new work out clothes for my quick sweat sessions after work. 
Get out and sweat more. Be the healthy you that you want to be!

fall capris

As a teacher I have a pretty large obsession with chinos. They are so practical and modest for my work environment. This year I decided that I would need some fall colors to make sure I transition seasons seamlessly. Here are the colors I decided on. I can't wait to start posting some outfits for y'all.

fall outfit ideas

According to this gorgeous weather we are having, fall is approaching faster than we thought! Why not be prepared with a few easy outfit ideas. Put these outfits on hangers and tuck them away in your closet for those mornings when you wake up late. You'll look put together, even though we all know you are just lucky to be functioning without your PSL (pumpkin spice latte) in hand. 

what are some of your fall outfit go-to's?

old navy fall haul, y'all

I couldn't resist the rhyming... I do believe it's the teacher in me, oops! Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I decided I wanted a few new fall staples for the upcoming season. My absolute favorite place for wardrobe basics and staples has got to be Old Navy. You can find almost anything that is in for the season at a very reasonable price. I was on a mission to find a pair of cognac booties, a pair of my favorite jeans in a very dark wash, and a new vest (obviously in a color I don't own yet). I scored big y'all! Not only did I have $15 in points waiting for me to use, but I also found a 40% coupon online. NEVER ever go to or shop online at old navy without finding a coupon online first, they are always easy to find! So without further ado... here are the items I grabbed up! 

Spring Thinking

Since I am getting excited about my new pants that are now in the mail on their way to me, I thought I would do a little outfit planning. Here are some of the ideas I have to pair with my new capris from old navy! 

Capris: old navy

Tops: j crew factory

Sandals: target.com

day off, shmay off

As a teacher, my work is never complete when I leave the school building. Here I am on my "day off" working on my couch. Although, the great part of a day off from school is that I don't have to get out of my PJ's. Here is the outfit I am sporting today while vegging out, watching Gossip Girl, and working on lesson  plans. 

Black tank top

Black ankle long leggings

Textured Open-front Cardi in Soy Latte

Comfy trouser socks

October Favorites

1. It always seems like as soon as the calendar says fall, boom my lips are chapped. I have been loving the new moisturizing line of chapstick from Chapstick brand. I literally take it everywhere.

2. As you may have read in one of my previous blogs I think the first minute out of the shower is the most important for your skin. I have been so addicted to using Vaseline Repairing Lotion that my bottle is almost empty. (sad day!)

3. It's fall, so of course everyone needs a go-to candle fragrance! I have been loving the Mainstay's Pumpkin Spice candle from Walmart. It's cheap, but smells so yummy.

4. I am almost positive that by now all of you have tried the Sharpie pens, but if you haven't, please do. I have been cruising through my latest pack of these babies!

5. So I have always found it a tiny bit unfair that I was blessed with man calves... yes, I only made them worse with so many years of ballet. I have the hardest time finding riding boots that fit my tree trunks, but I came across zooshoo and found my wide calf boots for a steal (and free shipping!) I wear them all the time & it actually makes me a bit sad to take them off at the end of the day.

6. My old navy vest has become a fall favorite VERY quickly. I got it as a budget version of the  J.Crew herringbone vest and have fallen in love with how cozy it is!

7. Since I am a serious nail polish lover I thought I would fill you in on my fall favorite: Essie's Mink Muff. 

8. Not everyone has the time to run to Starbucks in the morning to grab their daily pumpkin spice latte, and if that sounds like you I have found a wonderful home remedy to this horrible problem. International Delight: Pumpkin Pie Spice

9. Even though post-it notes are a favorite of every month for me I seemed to use them even more than normal in October. I guess I was a bit more forgetful than usual. Thought I would pay them a little respect. 

10. Yes, I admit I wear my yoga cut offs year round, but October was the perfect month for them this year. Some days were quite chilly and I would pair them with my riding boots to fake long leggings, but some days were warm and I would throw on some tennies to run errands!

--What were some of your October favorites?--

outfit of the day: simplicity

If you couldn't already tell, I am a huge fan of simplicity. I think it works wonders on girls of all ages and body types. Over fall break I threw together a quick and easy simple outfit for a day out with the family. I don't think I will ever stop loving my Forever21 jeggings, so naturally I used them as my base. Also, my wonderful friend, next door neighbor, and fellow blogger (jessisdesign.blogspot.com) let me borrow her gold and teal J. Crew necklace that looks very similar to the one above! The necklace became the statement piece of my outfit and was absolutely the perfect pop of color. Let me know what you think about simplicity and possibly leave some new ideas for outfits I could put together in the future!
