Endnotes:
Today was the last day of the intense summer course I was teaching. They had their last quiz, I said some final words, they filled out evaluations, and then we went to the museum together.
This outfit was very much built around my new shoes. I found these on super clearance a few weeks ago but then with our flats challenge, followed by our lab-appropriate challenge, I haven’t really had a chance to premier them until today. I don’t usually like peep-toes on myself. I always like the idea of them, but then I try them on and it’s all over. These, however, have a very small peep, so just a bit of my pink polish shows through, which I love. Despite being a good three inches, they are incredibly comfortable too!
I’m hoping this look only added to my student’s evaluation of my level of professionalism, knowledge, and class preparedness. If only there was a question about the instructor’s sense of style!

I think this may be my favorite outfit of yours! Very professional, and I love the subtle colors.
So cute, I really love how polished it all looks.
I love the new shoes! Glad to hear they’re comfy too.
Gorgeous! I love it! Not to sound weird or anything but you must have an amazing closet! I bet I could spend all day in there playing :).
Hey! Is your closet organized by the color wheel?
I love this outfit. Light over dark suits you, & the skirt length is perfect. Professional & stylish! (By the by… when I first started my own academic job one of the support staff warned me against a general tendency for female academics to gravitate towards wearing pyjamas to work. Not real pyjamas of course, but loose, comfy styles. Your blog is a great antidote.)
Stunning!
I love those shoes! The color and style are so great!
