wonderfully witchy

How I love to wade in a sea of fabric all day! Oversize scarf, oversize sweater, loose cotton dress... It makes me feel wonderfully witchy when paired with my lace-up boots. I can hide in these safe folds and spy on the outside world as much as I please. I'm still a young witch, though, so I make sure to remember my gold leopard leggings.

Wearing:
Leggings and boots: Underground Atlanta
Dress: H&M (in China)
Oversize cardigan: Stolen from mom
Oversize scarf: bought in France
The boots and leggings are both from shops in Underground Atlanta which I feel really bad for not knowing the exact names of. I know UA might seem rough around the edges or too touristy and cheesy, but I swear by their accessories and shoes! Ghetto fabulousness is still fabulous; they always have that little bit of sparkle you're looking for, and so cheap! I can't vouch for the quality of everything, but these leggings are going on their third season with me... and being a member of my wardrobe is no gentle experience.

As a "teacher" outfit (this distinction is beginning to fade), these clothes fulfilled all my requirements: Comfortable, modest, and fun... As a teacher of small ones, you WILL have your clothes pulled on, you WILL be occasionally groped, and you WILL spend much of your day squatting to talk to short people. You might also get to run around and maybe even climb something if you're lucky. There are many things to worry about throughout the day, and inadvertently flashing one of these short people shouldn't be one of them. I'd love to wear pencil skirts, but not here I'm afraid; I'm bag lady all the way!

I agree with the clothes pulling, groping, squatting, and running around when working with little ones... you could also add finger paint splattering and sticky hand prints from their grubby little paws... i love you, my little bag lady!

Hey, hey, hey! I haven't seen you in FOREVER. Was told by our friend "F" that you're doing fine and that Elmo movie was actually good. Brunch or dinner soon? And of course, some range time ;-)

your words made me laugh. that scarf is autumn divine! the building behind you makes a perfect backdrop. those leggings look gold dusted from a distance, but all leopard close-up. let me guess you teacher kindergarten don't you? or maybe preschool? :)

Love the leggings as well, and you make bag lady look good. :)

I'm LOVING this weather! I know that it's just going to mean tons of snow dumped on us later though. They told me when I moved here "Oh, Atlanta hardly ever gets any heavy snow". :P

Katie I love this outfit! Much better than pencil skirts all the way! I tried to wear pencil skirts at my office -- there aren't any kiddies and I sit or stand all day, but they are still so uncomfortable and limit my eating - bah humbug to that!
I sooo wish I could have gone UA shopping with you before I left. I never even though of the Underground as a shopping destination.
