Last Chance!

No outfit post today due to general day before the play opens craziness, but I'll be back soon with a cute new haircut and fun mani.

I just wanted to remind you that you only have a few more hours to enter my eShakti giveaway!

Bohemian

The warmer the weather gets the more I want to pack a bag, hop in a van, and head off on far flung adventures.

I may not be going anywhere exotic anytime lately, but I can at least dress for it, right?

 Yum! Iced coffee, crispy shrimp roll, and some sabbatical work on a sunny afternoon

 I'm wearing: hat- Target, sunnies- Target, feather pendant- gift from a student,

gray tank- Old Navy, bag- Target (but no longer available- so sad- I wanted a smaller one too) 

skirt- thrifted, Dansko sandals

Have you entered my eShakti giveaway yet? 

There's still time to enter and win an item of your choice!

Paisley Prints

For the past few years I have pretty much completely avoided any non-denim pants (I guess some would call them slacks, or even trousers) in favor of much ore fun and flirty skirts and dresses. I guess the plain, boring-ness of too long, neutral work trousers turned me off from them. 

Then, printed pants became all the rage, and I started scouring thrift stores for a perfect pair. And here they are ladies (and gentlemen?) turquoise, paisley pants! 

There is nothing boring about these!  

 I'm Wearing: necklace- Target, black tank- Fruit of the Loom, 

green keyhole sweater- Target, pants- Worthington/thrifted, Anne Klien wedges- TJ Maxx

 Over the weekend while we were on our trip I had one of my students do my nails. I don't know the shade or brand, but she does assure me that this color glows in blacklight! 

Hooray for a pop of neon.

Previously Worn: green keyhole sweater

A Big Giveaway!

I know that there are a bunch of eShakti giveaways going on right now, and with good reason, they're doing a huge transition to make room for new summer inventory, and generously want to give one lucky reader an item of their choice!

I first learned of eShakti through a few other websites, and got my first dress from them last summer. It's one of my absolute favorite dresses, and I always get tons of compliments on it. The best part of eShakti's services is that they will customize any item for you for fit and style. I really can't rave enough about this company. They're great all around!

So, are you ready for the giveaway rules?

1. Visit the eShakti site and pick your favorite item. 

(I'm personally smitten over the her 50's dresses.)

2. Follow eShakti on Facebook and Pinterest.

Leave a separate comment for each of these items, and be sure to include a way to get in touch with you when you win.

Good luck my lovelies! May the odds be ever in your favor!

Morning Discovery

 I was running a bit early this morning, so I decided to take a detour on the way into work and take a quick picture taking stroll at the bird sanctuary. I hadn't gone very far at all before I turned a corner to be met by an aggressive hissing noise coming from this little lady who had decided that the middle of the trail was the best place to lay her eggs.

 The result was a few quick terrified  shots as I slowly backed away to give her some privacy.

 On a different note, when I start looking like an early 60's Beatle could you all please alert me to the need of a haircut. I know I've been busy, but how did it take me this long to notice the resemblance?

If only mine looked as cool as Ringo's. A girl can dream.
