Class Prep

 {Wearing: H&M Blouse, Urban Outfitters Skirt, Zara Pumps & Banana Republic Necklace}

I teach all next week and as always, I'm looking forward to it. Every group of students is so different so there is always that exciting element of the unknown on the first day. The one thing I do know for sure is that the classroom I'm teaching in is going to be extremely hot. I'm actually pretty stressed about trying to create office appropriate outfits that won't cause me to die of heat stroke. My summer attire has been short skirts and shorts so the idea of wearing any of the clothes I normally teach in makes me cringe. Just thinking about wearing black pants right now is making me all sweaty and gross and I don't feel like buying anything new.

If I wore a tank top and hawaiian shorts, but then wore a tie with it... would that make it office appropriate? Sort of? Don't answer that. I am just going to pretend you all said yes.

Will I See You There?

Patio Weather

{Wearing: Club Monaco Top, H&M Shorts, Matt & Nat Clutch, Barefoot Contessa Necklace, Steve Madden Pumps}

I started writing this post saying how much I've been loving this amazing Vancouver weather. Then I went on to say that I've been spending many of these gorgeous evenings sitting on patios with girlfriends enjoying some summer cocktails. Then I was worried that it was going to look like I was drinking too much so I went on to defend myself by saying that I usually only have one or two, I'm normally not much of a drinker and I would never drink and drive. Then I was concerned that I was getting too defensive and that was just confirming my guilt as a sangria and mojito addict so I decided not to talk about that.

What's your go-to cocktail to enjoy during this perfect patio weather? I am thinking about trying sangria and a mojito for the first time ever soon... (best cover up ever)
