Fine Dining Every Day!

I work in a high school…granted, it is a private high school and is a Mercedes compared to most public educational facilities, but, nevertheless, it’s a high school. Not the most glamorous work environment.  On top of that, I have an inside room…no windows.  I have taught in this room day after day for over 13 years.

So, I have made a decision to upgrade my work area…just a tad.  My journalism classroom is designed purposefully to resemble a professional newsroom and it does, so there is not much I can do to bring in touches of glamour.   This week I started small…with my cups!  Out with the plastic, in with the glassware.  Like a gentle breeze, it has put a smile on my face and given me a chance to tell students who noticed, “Life is short.  Make fine dining a daily event!”

I try to bring this same attention to fun detail in my work wardrobe…occasionally wearing a little bling; pearls with denim; a faux fur collar…you, get the idea!!  The minute I saw this scarf a few years back at Walmart, I grabbed it.  Reduced to three dollars, it was the detail which caught my attention with the design painted on the scarf.

This is a very affordable look:

Chico’s Travelers jacket  (resale)  $16.00

Coldwater Creek skirt, on clearance,  $11.00

Walmart scarf, $3.00

Cynthia Rowley, gray tank, Marshalls - $10

Target Ballet Flats – so old I do not remember what I paid!!

Premiere Jewelry Bracelet: Two years ago

Have a great weekend everyone…remember to get out your elegant dishes and enjoy!!  Make fine dining a daily event!

psst....for those who saw a couple of Polyvores here earlier...I was just playing and did not mean for them to be published....YET!
