Rumble in the Jungle
We are finally getting a cool breeze in Texas. Of course, everyone in Texas does it big. So while I wore this little jacket to keep me warm, I anticipated the UGGS coming out and the ski jackets. Mind you it only got down to about 60 degrees. When I went to church, I literally made a mental note to count the number of fur boots and fur coats on the ladies. I saw none.
BUT...I did see a MAN at the bar at Pappadeaux's during brunch with a FUR COAT on...with a HOOD!!!! A HOOD! Fur Coat? Really? In Houston dude? Really? You couldn't just wear a hoodie? A long sleeved shirt with a v neck pull over? Anything? And why are you sitting at the bar...at 11am, mind you, drinking alcohol...wearing your fur coat...INSIDE! They have heat in here!
Furthermore FurMan...why do you even own a fur coat in Houston? We only get about one week of winter weather every 2 years!
Thrifted jacket (because I'm a thrifting beast)

P.S...if you know a guy who would wear a fur coat at the first sign of a breeze...please forward this little collage to that person. In church today, the pastor says to Love Thy Neighbor. This is my act of love:)

Ultimate Style Crush
I was cruising my favorite blogs and stopped in my tracks and dropped my jaws (and I do have big jaws too) at this look.
YES YES YES...YES!!!!!!!!!!
P.S....Her shirt, jacket, and pants were all thrifted:)
Let me tell THEE all of thy places I shall go if I had rocked this outfit...
1. To work so all of the hater teachers can talk about me behind my back and then run home to their closets to try to pull the look off...then get sad because they can't and come back to work and spread rumors that I'm a man...well because they are haters:)
2. To stand in line at Starbucks to buy coffee...even though I don't drink coffee but I would go because I would want the young girls and guys standing in line to wonder who I am:)
3. To a parent/teacher conference for one of my students so the parent can be so distracted by the patterns yet flyness that is moi'.
4. To church...yes church...just so I can make the deacons of the church jealous of my rocking plaid pants and stripes better than them.
5. To the UPS store where my new blackberry is waiting after I called Sprint and screamed (politely) in the phone that their Blackberry with the "pearl" button SUCKS and demanded that I deserved the NEW Blackberry free of charge (he he he...true story)
Oh you think it's a fluke? Here she is again! I am singing lullabies and hymns just at the inspiration these looks give me!

GFS Trivia Answer
I'm impressed...most of you guessed that atleast the jacket and boots were thrifted. But many of you refused to believe that I thrifted this L.A.M.B. bag. Guess what!?!? I DID! Total Score! Can you believe that!?!?
Go ahead and say it...
I'm a thrifting beast!
Hopefully, I will go somewhere this weekend that will warrant me dressing stylish and taking pics:)
Have a great weekend!

Roomies
(Tracee Ellis Ross)
If I had a low enough IQ to sign up for a reality show like Jersey Shore...I would request to have Tracee Ellis Ross and Victoria Beckham as roommates so I could play dress up in their closets!
(Victoria Beckham)
This outfit is a hybrid of what I would look like:)
I went out to celebrate a friend's bday at a jazz club but got nervous because all I really own are "teacher" clothes. That's when I called Juanette (a blogger turned friend from Dallas) and she styled me over the phone. The only requirements I gave her was that I wanted to wear my hair in an "updo" like Tracee Ellis Ross and rock my leopard heels
Grace Jones Tee: Zara's
Jessica Simpson Heels
JCP Cargo Pants
Thrifted Tux from Juanette
Vintage Clutch
Earrings from International Festival
(I'm liking this hairstyle...it's a good protective styling option)
(Here's the fiance. Side Note...You will never see a pic of me with a glass in my hand...I might become president one day:)

Worth the Wait
H&M CoatDress, JCP Necklace, Gifted clutch, Zara's Tights, thrifted belt, Jessica Simpson heels
If you follow me on twitter then you would know that I sat in line for 45 minutes to get some chicken from Frenchy's (the best chicken in Houston). You would think I would have just left because surely it's not worth the wait. You're wrong. It was worth it. But I'm tired...and full. So, I'll just leave you with the worst pics ever. It was dark and my tripod broke on me and my food was getting cold.
Ah well...like I said, the chicken was worth it.
And I have the NERVE to walk in a Diabetes marathon on Saturday morning!

Pay Attention to Your Surroundings
(camera phone pic...sorry)
I was rushing this morning and of course thought it would be the prime time to try a new hairstyle. While "letting the dog out", I was hurriedly trying to snap pics of the results to see if I did ok. I didn't realize what was caught in the pic until hours later.
Yep...that's my very own Frankie Beverly the "Barkless" Dog, showing me what he thinks of me. LOL!
Outfit pics coming later today...hopefully.
(And my dog can technically bark, but he chooses not to. He doesn't bother with trivial things like barking...it's beneath him...just like his mama:)
