I found this shirt at J.Crew the other day when my Christmas money was burning a hole in my pocket. (It lasted 5 days. That might be a new record.) I think this tee was made for me. Perfection is a burden that I try not to carry. What is that saying? Perfection is boring. That is a very true statement, although currently I’m rocking some very well-hidden adult acne and I’d really like if my skin could strive to be boring. That would be great.

The next tee J.Crew needs to make is “yes, these heels do hurt” and “but coffee first” I will be able to wear all of my motto’s in t-shirt form. Also remember when I said that bold earrings are in this year in my last post? Is this actually true or did I just want you to think I was cool? You may never know.

  2. I love love love this outfit and really want those pants from J.Crew! So cute! xo

  3. What a great look and in love with your new hair style. Great pants so bright and perfect for Spring 2014. Those earrings are just to die for. Gorge!

  4. Ha! It worked. I think you are cool and I feel better about myself for my love of statement earrings. My aunt and I have been rocking them for years. The bigger, the better – she calls them "ear trash."

  5. That's a fun tee and the way you've styled it is even better! I'm so happy bold earrings are going to have a big come back, cause I'm a fan of those! J Crew should be definitely making those tees soon, they'd be a hit!

  7. Your hair is breath taking!! I love it! This is beautiful! The shirt and earrings are my fave 🙂

  8. I want a series of t-shirts with things I constantly say in my classroom, but I'm pretty sure my students would be sick of that. Love the earrings! My lobes would have rebelled against me the second I put those on. They're wimps when it comes to big earrings. My t-shirt right now says, "Jealous of your earrings."

  9. I love the earrings! Such a cute color! And I love this tee such a good motto. I agree J. Crew does need to come out with a shirt that says, "these heels do hurt" because well most of the time they do!

    Have a wonderful day,

  16. I absolutely love your hair; the length looks great on you, which I'm sure any length would. And, because you said so, I'm going to start rocking the bold earring trend! I really like the sound of it.
