Welcome Back, Monday: sweater: ancient thrifted find; dress: anthopologie; belt: made by me; tights: Target: shoes: Urban Outfitters flats made into Mary Janes with leopard print fabric by me...they didn't want to stay on my feets otherwise. Well, hello! Long time, no weekly outfit post. I dunno if you noticed but I kinda went on a weekly-outfit-post hiatus during my Spring Break. Mostly cuz I didn't really think you'd be interested in the jammies-and-house-slippers-til-well-past-noon look. And if you were, well, you could simply drop by the local Walmarts (oh, too harsh?). Can you believe these shoes? I went in search of flats and found these bad boys on the Urban Outfitters website. I was asked several time is they were some of my DIY shoes! But this week, we returned. And I'm so glad because I missed those kids so much. Even if this happened... Kid: Mrs. Stephens, what is that smell? Me: I had beans for lunch. Chorus of Kids: Eeeewwww. (five minutes later) Kid: Mrs. Stephens, can I have some more green paint? Me: Sure. (half empty bottle of paint makes farty noise). Kid Across the Room: (whispering) Ew, did you hear that? Must have been those beans. I feel sorry for the kids at that table. I get no respect, I tell ya. Tinga Tinga painting from Tanzania. Don't you love this? Tinga Tinga is the name of artwork made in something called the Tinga Tinga Cooperative in Tanzania.

In other less gassy news, I really enjoyed matching my outfits with masterpieces as I did in this post, so I thought I'd give it another go. It's been a lot of fun as I would have never stumbled upon the artwork above otherwise. I do hope you enjoy... And might I make a polite recommendation.... The next time you decide to enjoy some lovely beans for lunch, have it with a side of Bean-o. Just sayin. Turquoise Tuesday: sweater: ebay; dress: vintage, thrifted; belt: made by me; sandals: Sseko sandals with straps made my me Ordering Spring, Janet Fish, 1996 Flamenco Wednesday: sweater and fishnets: Target; dress: vintage, found in San Francisco; shoes: Indigo by Clarks; belt and flower clip: H&M Erhem, don't ask.
