Endnotes:
Yesterday was my last day of teaching for the semester! I still have 40 final exams to grade, but nothing to prep. So I now have a little over a month off of teaching before summer courses start and I will be teaching everyday! I’m most excited about this time off from teaching because it means I can finally devote more time to dissertation research. But, I also hope to be able to get in a bit more cooking, gardening, and other things that tend to fall by the wayside when the workload is heavy.
Floral and Argyle, originally uploaded by academichic.This outfit is essentially the same outfit I wore this Fall, but I swapped out my solid beige cardigan for my argyle one. I love that this cardigan contains all of the colors of the soft neutral palette created by the first version of this ensemble. I was also excited to pull out my hand-made floral belt for my last look of florals month! A.

Love love love this outfit! I adore pastels, but don’t wear them much, because they tend to make me look washed out :( I don’t have any argyle, but maybe I should get some to add to my wardrobe…
i love the DIY belt. It’s small handmade details like that which make an outfit extra special.
Wow. This is so sophisticated. I’m going to try to stalk down that skirt.
I like creating belts similar to the one you have as well. :)
I like the colors of your outfit.
I love the belt!
I’m so envious that your semester is already over! I really need the time away from teaching to finish my final round of revisions before my defense next month.
Supa cutes!
This happens way too often! I’m wearing that same grey ON skirt today! Great minds, I guess :)
your hair looks fantastic.
[...] Ok, seriously, this is super simple, and again, I’m sure someone else has done a tutorial about this as well, as I’m certainly not inventing the wheel with this one. Also, for a no-sew ribbon belt look at A.’s post here. [...]
