Hi ladies, today we got a memo at work about dress code, I'm kind of glad we got it, some teachers wondered if it was for them and others wondered why, I think we needed it. Yesterday I was going through some old pictures of mine and I've noticed how blogging has improved the way I dress but it has also been hard not to get carried away, especially when I was newer to blogging and I wanted to follow every trend I saw on other blogs.
For a while I got a little bit lost on trends and styles that weren't my own, like dressing too costumey and doing too much vintage, which it looks great on some but it wasn't me. Only recently I've begun to dress in a way that makes me feel like me and I've realized that I love vintage but wearing too much makes me feel self-conscious and uncomfortably shy, I've also learned that I have to be very careful with vintage shoes, just because they look cute on some doesn't mean that they work for me. Yesterday I enjoyed reading a post by Waves, who wrote honestly about blogging and her style, it's really good, she writes some very amazing posts I highly recommend her blog.

Trying to follow my rule of only wearing a little vintage at a time, I'm wearing an Anthropologi skirt, vintage shirt, thrifted belt and Chico's cardigan (also thrifted).
Short necklace is from F21 and pendant is vintage from flea market.
Shoes are Dexter, thrifted.
By the way thank you, thank you for all your kind comments, I try to reciprocrate as much as I can and I honestly appreciate the time you take to check out my blog.

I am considering turning my personal blog into one about modest fashion. I really like your blog and your style :) You are a classy lady!
I love this outfit Shey! I love fushia and navy together! I have an outfit that is a similar color scheme. I hope to be posting it soon! Love the belt as well and the colors are so fresh!
In Christ,

Love this look! Very classic and classy. :)
I agree that the correct approach to vintage is to only wear one piece at a time.
Head to toe vintage just looks strange, but mixed in with contemporary pieces, it adds a great bit of unique flair!
Chic on the Cheap
You always rock your outfits. This one especially! SO cute. The sweater is gorgeous!
Hi Shey, it's true, you look more confident when you mix modern+old...but you've always looked lovely. I wonder if a parent complained about a teacher's dress code? there is a teacher at my son's school who wears heavy opaque tights with dr marten boots and shortish tunics..... she is an excellent teacher.
I love the way you put colors together, I'm glad you're wearing what you want and feeling comfortable. I had a conversation with myself recently that was very similar to this. My blog is just a baby and I haven't even posted that many outfit pictures but I've already noticed that I've been wearing what I think others want to see and not what I want to wear. I'm so glad you wrote about this.
Shey, This is my favorite outfit so far-you look fabulous!! Thanks for your nod to modesty and inspiration in dressing great!! Blessings, Kathy
I think this is a great look for you. I love the button front skirt and the pink sweater really makes it pop. Wonderful choices.
Your Cabbage Patch kid sitting on the shelf is adorable. You must be the best kindergarten teacher ever!
