OOTD here’s what those Old Navy dress pants look like. Spending today working on the three presentations I have to give next week, & one of them is in front of the department…ahhhhh.

Sometimes actually getting dressed on the weekend helps me get things done. Things this outfit & I achieved yesterday:
-car wash
-brunch
-delivered a stack of books to my office
-bought snacks for the Super Bowl
-wood conditioned the house cutting boards
-dyed my hair
-stained the couch with hair dye 😭
-cleaned the bathroom
-made stir fry for lunches this week
But I forgot to grad school…oops.

What to wear to grad school visit weekend, part 3.
If you’re already in, you still want to look a little nice. Put a blazer on it!

Skinnies and a button up toe the line between business and student. Don’t forget comfy flats and a notebook!

Got a lot of work done in my tiny basement office today.

Gotta get back to this now that winter break is over.

First day of semester teaching outfit, with support from giant scarf and weird light reflecting off my glasses. My stats professor saw me and said “Hey. You look like a grown up.”

Judged a Speech & Debate tournament all weekend, because that’s fun when you’re a comm grad student! Now I’m excited to get back to teaching ♥

Shopping the J. Crew Sale
Every December/July J. Crew does a 50% off sale on clearance items. This is the only time I buy anything from them, and has helped me to slowly build a professional teaching wardrobe. Here are some of my favorites this time around:
1- Sweater (I bought this in cabernet for $30 yesterday)
3- Cashmere sweater (I will probably save up for a couple months and make this my next big purchase…additionally, Steinmart has cashmere sweaters for $35 right now. Run, I say!)
4- Dress pants (I love that these come in fun colors, I might buy these in blue)
6- Necklace (J. Crew is my go-to for I-am-presenting-at-this-conference-and-I-need-a-power-necklace)
7- Flats
8- Dress
