Dress Well, Semester Well


WHAT I'M WEARING :: Cardigan // Gap :: Dress // Gap :: Leggings // JcPenny :Watch // Kohl's :: Boot Socks //  Three Bird Nest :: Boots // Maurice's [fall 2014]

Monday marked the beginning of a new semester! I love a fresh start, a new set of notebooks, and filling out my planner especially during the first week of class. Call me a nerd...I'm fine with it. ;) The best part, though, is picking out a "first day of school" outfit! 

The week is off to a busy start. I've had an appointment of some sort every day so far and that will continue until into next week. Today, I am going in for an x-ray that will reveal the results of my colonic transit study and hopefully allow us to move forward with some sort of treatment plan. I have several surgical/procedural consultations next week to really decide on the next step in addressing my colon's major sass problem, so thoughts and prayers for discernment are appreciated!

As answers continue to be just out of reach, I'm trying to lay low and figure out what "normal" is/what I want it to be. By that I mean I'm just trying to enjoy classes, work, and find time for friendships. My roommate Maddie snapped a few pictures of my "first day of school" outfit the other afternoon after I shared that I've been trying to establish writing/blogging as part of my daily routine again. So far, so good! I really miss documenting the little things and participating in fun link ups. I also (naturally) need an outlet to share my killer shopping deals from time to time. ;) This Gap cardigan? $10 on black Friday. The dress? $4. #justsayin

My motto in high school was always "dress well, test well!" I've now adopted "dress well, semester well!" because, well, I will do absolutely anything to get even remotely excited about getting my sleepy booty out of bed in the morning. A cute outfit does wonders for an exhausted attitude!

One day at a time, right? Right. :) What are you wearing this week?

I have always gone with the dress well, do well concept!!! I was never ever one of those kids wearing her yoga pants, hooded sweatshirts, and ugg boots to class! As much as somedays I wanted to, I would be falling asleep in class! I always dressed up and looked nice! Maybe not church nice, but so much more presentable than half the people in my classes. I seriously think it works and helps you feel better! Kick butt this semester Kenz!

You are so right! Dressing in a cute outfit does wonders for the attitude! One of my high school teachers always encouraged us to dress up on test days and I've never forgotten!

Love the outfit! And you are so right. I work at home so it's easy to just throw on some yoga pants to take Mason to school. On the days that I actually get ready I feel so much better! PS - those are some awesome deals!!

Very cute! Good luck with your new classes!

Love those boots and cardigan, but the whole outfit looks awesome! How did you fare in the snow storm yesterday? The view out my window shows that it's still in the pretty stage, where the nasty storminess snow is done, but it hasn't got all yucky and slush yet. Praying that your appointments go well these next couple of weeks, let me know if there's anything I can do!

Also, so happy you're back to blogging!
