My Christmas Getup

This was what I wore to church on Christmas Day. I try to be somewhat festive without looking like I just came from an ugly sweater party. Anyone else with me there?

I'm doing all I can to space out the chambray shirt wearings. The limit is once a week. I just can't get enough!

David Bowie, is that you?

I have bronchitis. Maybe I'm the only person who does this, but to compensate for looking green and feeling terrible I tend to dress up a little more on the really sick days. I can tell my teenage students are still lovin' the 80's rocker look, because I haven't had so many compliments from students since I can remember! It was kind, it's nice to hear shallow teenagers approve, even when you look like you're trying to be David Bowie, a little green on the edges, and you feel like curling up under your desk.

Layers

It literally froze this week in the nights in AZ. I am sorry for everyone else- I bet this week is downright frigid everywhere else. The only good news- a great excuse to layer!

Holiday Concert

This is what you get for marrying an energy engineer who buys very eco friendly light bulbs that take about 30 minutes to full light up. At least he's willing to take pics these days, and at least he's cute!
We are having a lot of fun getting dressed up for some Christmas dates lately. This one was for one amazing choral/orchestra performance at our city's art center. We loved it, and we loved pulling out some warm stuff for colder weather!

In Touch With My Roots

I have a great, great, great, great, great (and maybe even one or two more) grandmother who is Native American. Rumor has it that's where the dark hair come from with a family of all blondes. I like my hair, I like my slightly darker skin, I like that she and her husband broke the cultural norm. This probably explains my obsession with Native American jewelry. I think I was channeling her with the colors, necklace, and the braid today.
