Day 23: You Look Like the Combination of a College Professor and an Elementary School Teacher

"I always wear my sweater back-to-front; it is so much more flattering."
Diana Vreeland

I have to apologize for my very long delay for this post. Day 23 was a hectic one. I ran to school, to work, from work to the Beaver, to the practice rooms, to getting a hot dog at 12:30 am. You see! Busy, full and productive day.

I decided since this was a week long challenge of wearing things I don't normally wear I went with this little number.

I had to dig down deep into my trunk to pull out this man sweater that is complete with wool, suede and leather. You really don't come across many like it. The suede shoulder and elbow pads came in handy during all of my brawls during the day as well as the sledding across bathroom floors with my nanny child, Jayden. The leather diamond on my stomach really served no purpose other than being extremely entertaining for my friend Troy... (Wow, that sounds weird. You just had to have been there.)

The sweater was matched with a long-sleeve brown shirt from Macy's, the dress worn as a skirt, brown tights from Target, white-grey-tan striped long socks from Target, and my leather Frye riding boots. The accessories include purple look earrings from Forever21 and an assortment of silver rings from my collection.

The title for the day is brought to you by a wonderful friend of mine, Henry. Amongst all the compliments I received on Day 23, his was my favorite... At 10:04 am he said, " You look like the combination of a college professor and an elementary school teacher." There are so many reasons to adore him and that is only one.

The fall location in the porch to my house. I love being outdoors in the fall, even when it is raining like it often does in the PNW (Pacific Northwest). Today was a rare occasion without rain and therefore perfect for a wool man-sweater. This is only the beginning of your introduction to my relationship with the Goodwill man sweater...
