I'm obsessed with her earring. I want one!

November 23 - 29, 2015

This was a short week as far as work goes -- I was only there Monday and Tuesday. Our Thanksgiving celebration was small and at our home -- we did break out the nice china, though, which was fun.

November 9 - 15, 2015

Once again I have been as busy as a person could possibly be and still be a person. Teaching seven classes of 32-36 students is hard work.

October 26 - November 1, 2015

This new week of the term has been much calmer. I am determined not to give two large assignments at the same time this term. I don't always keep my goals, but hopefully this one will come true.

September 8 - 13, 2015

This was a short week, and I needed it. I actually ended up wearing the outfit with the red shirt for two days because I forgot to bring a change of clothes with me to Cedar City for the Shakespeare festival (fastest packing ever, and no, it didn't go well).

May 4 - 10, 2015

I didn't post a Sunday outfit because, if I'm being honest, going to a Mormon church on Mother's Day is not going to happen for me. I just can't handle the guilt trip. I will enjoy visiting the BHW's mom later today. Happy Mother's Day to all.

April 13 - 19, 2015

What can I say? It's been an incredibly busy week. I was very relieved to get the CUWP book group on Thursday done with -- it's a bit of a scheduling nightmare.

March 16 - 22, 2015

Oh the joy of that first day to go without tights! It's been such incredibly nice weather lately -- 70 degrees every day. This outfit felt wonderfully springy, and yes, my iPad just fit in my bag. Another favorite outfit of the week was the red orange jeans with the whale tippi -- plus I loved the vintage fish prints I put on the Polyvore.
Funny note of the week: when my neighbors came to visit one of them said, "Did you know you are famous?" Apparently, she has been following my blog for a while and told the ladies in her carpool about it. Anyway, when my neighbor picked them up on Friday, one of them said, "Guess what! I'm taking a class and guess who is in it? Denée from What Denée Wore Today." Ah, fame.

February 23 - March 1, 2015

This was a crazy busy work week and life week for me. Things are ramping up at school due to the end of the term. I tried to keep things pretty casual and still add a lot of color to my life -- hopefully I succeeded!

The outfit on.

Today was a special session of stake conference. I sang in the choir, so I tried to dress it up a bit. This tribal skirt from Anthropologie always makes me feel cheerful, so I went with it today. I added a classic black jacket from Talbots that always makes me feel like a million dollars.

Me, trying to get a good shot of my blue streak -- can you see it?

Hmmm... I don't know if this is working.

Can you see it now? I'm loving this blue streak, BTW.

Today I wore the outfit to the right. This shirt, which I attempted to add to Polyvore, didn't come out nearly as bright as it actually it (see the left for true appearance) I'll have to take another picture in the middle of the summer with bright daylight again. Anyway, this was a great outfit for both work and for going out to see Big Hero 6 with the BHW and kids as a fun Friday night activity.

Today was a busy day. We had students from Japan at our school, and my students were just fascinated by the whole idea. I also had visitors from Russia observing my teaching in my beginning ELD class. Fun, Fun, Fun!!
A crazy day like today calls for professional wear that is also extremely comfortable. This is probably the most comfortable pencil skirt I've even worn, and this long Chicos ponte jacket is also very relaxed (my version would be nearly perfect if it had pockets like the one shown here). I added a purple sweater to match the purple in the skirt and some turquoise accessories. Have I mentioned that I love this skirt? It's an awesome skirt!!

This is what I wore to church. I love blue with green, and I felt like the super bright top counterbalanced the definitely not type 4 skirt (which I love to death even though it isn't type four). I really like this cobalt jacket that I picked up earlier this year at a very good price from Macy's. I actually wasn't originally planning on wearing it, but the temperature dropped dramatically today, and I felt like it was necessary!!

Today is the day of wearing dyed things and free things. I got the earrings and cuff for free from Chicos with a combination of a BOGO 50% sale on jewelry, a $25 off $50 coupon, and my birthday gift certificate. I rather like the two, especially the earrings, being lovely bling without weight. I think the longer earrings look good with my edgier haircut. As for the outfit, everything here was dyed (or, in the case of the flats, painted) except the skirt. I rather liked how this pulled together. This skirt isn't DYT, but I think the beautifully cut jacket and the tank with the horizontal lines make it A-OK on the top.

Today I walked on the wild side of orange with this sweater and this adorable skirt that I am already in major love with. I dyed this sweater orange from a nondescript beige, and I really like it in the new orange. (The orange stripe tee didn't actually show under the sweater, so I wasn't being too crazy with pattern mixing here.) I even added the orange pumps I painted. Yowza!!

I have really put myself on a strict buying budget. Really. That said, I got a lot of $15 - $20 - even $30 birthday gift cards from some of the stores I've purchased from in the past. I used most of them without spending much of my own money.
For this I had to add a bit of my own cash, but I couldn't resist this Anthropologie skirt on sale and with the birthday gift card. I like it here with a turquoise tee and with my Loft waxed cotton moto jacket (also purchased with a birthday gift card) for the chilly morning.
My fan fringe necklaces aren't really type 4, as they have gold fittings, but frankly, I like them with so many things that I just keep wearing them.
