WIWW and a little inspiration!

Well after missing last week's link up you'd think I'd have more outfits to share...but I don't!  Not feeling well last week, and then getting a headache that lasted a good four days....I'm not gonna lie...I spent a good amount of time in my blardigan this past week!  HA! When I did get dressed, for work or otherwise (and remembered to take photos!) this is what I wore!  Lots of Piper Street Looks again!  I just love them!  New styles just arrived too...go check 'em out!!


I wasn't sure about this Piper Street shirt (sold out) with this necklace...but I received many compliments on both, so I guess that's a plus!!  I have to figure out what else I can wear with the necklace! {Bauble Bar}

Another Piper Street top /Vera/...that I may have worn like a million times in the few short weeks since I got it!  And I can't wait to wear it with my yellow denim skinnies that I got YESTERDAY, so you'll see this again!



I posted this on the Challenge page the other day when I decided to wear this shirt to work after it literally fell off a hanger in my closet and on to the floor!  To be honest, I had forgotten it even existed!  But I love it. It was one of my first purchases from Dorothy Perkins.

I look about ten shades of exhausted here but I am posting this anyway because this is my absolute fave new shirt.  Actually, it's not new but it's the first day I wore it.  It's a Loft find that I first saw on Pinterest Told Me To, and ended up getting for 50% off...woo hoo!!

And just for fun I'm including this pic!  I've joined the Cons club!!  
I know it was a lil excessive to get two pair right outta the gate, but I had all intentions of returning a pair (Thank you Nordstrom for FREE RETURNS!!) but now I have all intentions of keeping both!!!  HA!  And who knew the people of instagram loved Cons so much! I don't think I've ever had more likes on a photo.






And this week I'm also linking up with my Spring Style Me Challenge friends again...this time to find a little inspiration in the everyday!  I wanted to share that I've been inspired by my eighth graders this week!  A tech assignment I gave them over the weekend was to find a song to play for the class that they felt defined their life at this moment. They are going to be graduating in a few short weeks and are going off in different directions, I wanted them to put their feelings to music.  My school is a Pre-K through Eighth grades, so many have spent the majority of their lives with us!
I love, loved, loved the feedback I received from this assignment and all of the interesting songs the students came up with.  And boy did they run the gamut....between the sad, the happy (literally Happy!), the brave, and the confused!  I also secretly, LOVED that so many of them chose country tunes....my absolute fave!!  HA! It is also very funny to see just how much the song choices fit them. I am in awe of these kids and how ready they are to face what lies ahead of them with grace and maturity!


Hope everyone's having a great week!
Katie
