{lovely in lace}

Here is my lovely roommate, Alex, before church on Sunday! What a complete doll.

I love her pairing of lacy white, mustard yellow, and brilliant blue tights. 

All of the colors contrast so beautifully with her dark brown hair and natural beauty. Then, to top it all off, Alex's boyfriend, Cameron, is a pretty snazzy dresser as well. I couldn't resist taking some photos of these lovebirds outside in the warn Colorado sun!

What Alex is wearing:
Dress from Maurice's,
belt from Target,
tights from Goodwill,
socks from target,
& boots by Anne Klein

{ "the green sweater" }

What I'm wearing:
Sweater by Merona from Target,

& boots by Boemos from Marshalls

Since I was in 8th grade, I have wanted this exact sweater. The color, the knit, the fit. I read a book where the main character bought her boyfriend "a thick and luxurious moss green cashmere V-neck sweater." He was her first love and she had sewn a gold heart into the sleeve of the sweater. I know this isn't "moss green," but for some reason, this is exactly how I pictured the sweater and forever the image was engraved in my mind. The other day as I was walking out of Target, I spotted it. I tried it on right there in the middle of the store and knew I had to buy it to fulfill my teenage dream of owning "Nate's sweater." And, let me tell you, I am so glad I got it. Wearing it today made me feel cozy and ready for the colder weather! 

I decided to pair it with some fun autumn colors, pulling it over a dress I own. I wanted to avoid looking overly preppy, but I'm not sure if I accomplished that. Oh well, it was a comfy fall outfit!

As a Spanish teacher, you have to take advantage of the

Last week on November 1st & 2nd, my classes celebrated

Dia de los muertos, a holiday that remembers family

members who have passed away by celebrating the life they lived!

In honor of this holiday my classes made calavera (skull)

masks and rocks! I decided to go all out and paint my face like

a calavera sugar skull. 

What I'm wearing:
Makeup done by me,
blouse from Charolette Russe,
skirt from Argentina,
cardigan by Olive & Oak,
watch by Michael Kors,
necklace from my grandma,
mariachi earrings from Mi Casa Restuarante
