   Another parent-teacher conference week outfit, admittedly a bit more on the casual side. I bought this top at Saver's in October. I thought the colors were pretty and an abstract floral is one of my favorite prints. 

    I was hoping to wear my yellow glass pendant with this top, but the print seems to be a bit more yellow-green and they didn't match. Plain white pendant to the rescue!
    This will be a busy week, as it includes a field trip as well as a school festival on Friday afternoon. My grade level will be running a face-painting/temporary tattoo booth. I've never done face-painting before, so I hope to do a little practicing on my arm this week! It's amazing to me how many secondary skills you end up developing as a teacher.

     Polyester is usually not practical for Hawaii's climate or my workplace, but I couldn't resist buying this top. It has so many colors that it will be easy to accessorize, and for interviews or dressier occasions it will pair well with a skirt or pants. For its first wearing, I went casual - white jeans and a white necklace that popped against the dark background.

     My husband has been sick for the last few days, and yesterday I felt a sore throat creeping up on me. Rotten timing - I have parent-teacher conferences scheduled into the middle of next week. I'm dosing myself with chicken noodle soup, Vitamin C, and naps, and hoping I can shake it off.
