Tommy Hilfiger top, Macy's

same ol' jeans, Ross

JJ Basics cardigan, hand-me-down

        I really like the straight fit of this top - it reminds me of a pillowcase top, although it's doubtful that I could get a real pillowcase to fit over my hips. ;)  Worn with the jeans, it was a little dark overall, but the red cardigan really livened things up without being too matchy. I think a white cardigan would also work, but I don't own one ... adding that to my wishlist.

          My mom and I went to a craft fair this weekend, and it really pointed out to me how my tastes have changed. I looked at a lot of the jewelry and thought, "eh, nothing special." I suppose browsing etsy has increased my expectations of handmade items. Not to mention, the place was awash with Hello Kitty stuff ... I have never been a fan of Hello Kitty, although an obsession with that mouthless, bow-wearing cat is almost par for the course for most women who grow up here.
         This isn't to say that we didn't buy anything -- I picked up a cute pair of earrings that look like tiny rainclouds and a simple suede-and-gold bracelet.
           One thing that bugged me about the craft fair: why don't vendors tag each item, or, post signs that let you know how much things cost? If I need to ask someone about the price of each item, I'm just as likely to move on as to ask, particularly if they haven't even said "hello" or glanced up.

     My practicum librarian and I attended a meeting yesterday, and since we didn't have time to eat lunch, we hit the Wendy's drive-through on the way there. Little did we know that they were having a guest speaker about the wellness policies in the schools and the promotion of healthy eating. It was a little awkward munching on my highly processed chicken sandwich with one sad limp lettuce leaf while she talked about the importance of eating veggies.The librarian I work with didn't even eat the fries she had bought. I think she should have eaten them anyhow ... after all, the snack table was right behind us, brimming with cupcakes. ;)

    For the last few months I've been drawn to the Tommy Hilfiger brand. It's a little preppy, which is not my usual thing, but for some reason I'm liking it. Navy blue, a whimsical print, and breezy cotton fabric meant this top was meant to be mine. I think it will look cute tucked into a pencil skirt, too. It will also look great with a red or blue cardigan layered over it ... if it ever cools down.

Happy Friday and happy weekend! I'm a little in disbelief that this Saturday is my last official class meeting for my practicum ... where did the time go?? And why didn't I start working on that portfolio and procedures manual earlier? :O
