And by “AMAZING” I mean I put on jeans, added a necklace and touched up my eyeliner.   But we’ll get to that.  First, here is one of my recent thrift finds, a Talbot popover blouse I scored for $6.30 (same as my Charlie Jade silk “dress” if you’re keeping track).  Before you start thinking breakfast, a popover blouse just means the buttons go halfway down, thereabouts.

You just “pop it over” your head.  Fancy style terms, that’s what you’ll learn here.

Talbots is a high-quality brand and this blouse was in perfect condition.  I love the colours and pattern – exactly what I like to hide my muffin top wear with pants.  I styled it for work and couldn’t look more like a school-based OT if I tried.

Since I work in schools, I wear boots there and then change into my indoor shoes, for realz, just like all the other kids.  That's how I can get away without socks, FYI.

LOVE these navy earrings! (If cropping out my forehead wrinkles and roots is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.)

It was a good work outfit for all my glamorous duties including paperwork and sitting on the floor.  But no one wiped snot on me... I think.

Tonight I went out with my gals to see the local high-school musical production, “The Boyfriend.”  Our Splurge sister is the very talented director and it’s always fun to see the impressive teen talent!  I wanted to spiff up a bit but didn’t feel like changing entirely…

Swapped the khakis for my J Brands, added some ankle boots and a statement necklace that is a match made in heaven!

BAM!  Like a new woman!  Jk.  I know, barely different but the little differences do help you feel refreshed.
Day to Night
It wasn’t warm enough for me to just wear a blazer but it was the perfect night for me to break out this coat – scored for just $3.50
Great top for a great day!  How do YOU spiff up for night?  School plays and dinners out to Ikea count!  #lifeofglamour
