Sweater Weather: Non-Teaching and Teaching

1. Sweater - Moth/Anthro (Ebayed)

Pants - Talbots
Shoes - J-41
Scarf - World Market (remixed)

Last week on a non-teaching day I wore the above outfit to campus. I had back-to-back meetings and then a few hours in my office. The weather had just turned colder and I was able to maintain both comfort and warmth in dress pants, a sweater, and campus-friendly shoes. The next day, when I taught and had a reading group meeting, I wore this:

2. Sweater - Moth/Anthro (Ebayed)
Skirt - Ann Taylor (Ebayed)
Shoes - Ferryl Robin (remixed)
Tights - Ann Taylor LOFT
Cloche - Ann Taylor LOFT

I ditched the cloche before I left the house, but I did enjoy the shape of the hat with the vintage feel of the outfit--and I had fun posing with it.


But then I ditched the hat in favor of a less-exciting prop:

Sometimes I wear gold with this sweater, but I like pairing green earrings with green shoes--it bookends the top and the bottom of me with. I love green and I do wear it well, but my eyes are multiple shades of green (from blue/gray near the pupil to brown/hazel on the outer-part of the iris) and they look best when I accessorize with flecks of green instead of wearing larger blocks of it.

3. Earrings - A Now Defunct Boutique in Kansas City

Two questions:

1. I've used multiple books, an umbrella, a hat, my hood, and a coffee cup as props to obscure part of my face--do you have any other suggestions for SFE's props?
2. Those earrings from the "Now Defunct Boutique in Kansas City" were purchased a decade ago for Prom--no shit. They are the oldest accessory I purchased for myself that I still wear with regularity. What is yours?
