Second week at college and a bunch of "What I wore" pics

Yesterday was my second week at college and I loved it as much as the first. Our tutor was there this week. When I was telling Grant (who doesn't enjoy studying at all) about the class and my homework he was just cringing and said he couldn't imagine how anyone would enjoy doing this. I said to him, "That feeling you have now? That confusion as to why anyone would want to do that? That's the feeling I get every time you tell me about stuff you deal with at work." Isn't it great that we are all made differently!

Anyhoo, here is what I wore to college yesterday and below are some more recent outfits.

  2. Greetings from Chicago - I pop on you blog often - you are so cute, and your family is adorable.
    I have loads of family in England, and I was born in Reading. Congrats for going to college - enjoy the journey.
    Your outfits are adorable - really pulled together - and your short hair really suits you!
    I was very excited this week when a cousin in Scotland informed me that NEXT is finally shipping to the US - absolutely my favorite store, especially for boys (we have an 8 yr. old boy - Devin).
    Your husband is a great sport - you should have had him pose his slippers like you do your shoes - too funny.
    Take Care,
    Karin

  4. Love what you say about us being made differently... I couldn't agree more! I would go to school forever if I could (maybe that's why I teach...) but my husband is not a fan of his current MBA program! Have fun in class!

  7. Hi! I don't remember how I came across your blog some time ago, but I wanted to say how much I adore your outfits--chic, but doable. You are my latest fashion inspiration!

    Best of luck with school! I am a non-traditional graduate student and mother of a 14-mo-old daughter. It's not easy, but we can do it, right? :)
