swimwear success!

old navy comes through again! even though i didn't find this in time to wear it on my recent beach excursion, i'll have it for the summer. so cute! no halter, and the matching bottoms are the same hot pink color, very plain. i think it was meant to be... :)

it's that time of year again...

...time to suck it up and start seriously hunting for some new swimwear!

i'm heading out on a bit of a beach holiday next weekend, and i'm in dire need of some new swimwear. i have one major issue with buying swimsuits: i hate, hate, hate halter-style suits! something about the way they pull on the back of my neck really bugs. and, of course, that's all that seems to be in stores anymore, so i've had to do some major searching to find something that would be comfier.

i fell in love with the above suit (green and navy rugby stripes on a tankini! sign me up!), but of course, it's completely sold out at l.l. bean in my size. c'est la vie ... time to keep looking!

hanging in there...

two more days to go before i get a break, and i'm still chugging along! but i have decided that i'm going to buy this shirt in preparation for finals week later this semester. so hilarious! (and so appropriate for those post-crunch time moments, ha!)

like christmas in march

i found an old navy gift card while i was cleaning today -- isn't that just the best! i've been surfing their website all afternoon, trying to decide what i should spend it on ... i'm thinking these super cute seafoam green capris would be too cute for spring!

of course, there's still snow on the ground in my neck of the woods, so it may just be spring-clothes fever talking!

wardrobe inspiration

i'm always on the lookout for cute, non-fussy clothing to teach in, and i love the look sported by lisa finkelstein in the most recent issue of marie claire. the tweed blazer over the party dress is just gorge.

check out a scan from the magazine over at j.crew aficionada. i think i need to update my christmas list...
