Back in high school, I tortured my Mother every morning by asking her what I should wear to school. And every morning she would torture me right back by answering, “Jeans and a white shirt.” The world’s most classic outfit just wouldn’t do for for an event as important as a day of learning, and still today I wouldn’t describe myself as a jeans-and-white-tee-kinda-gal. Unless, of course, you add a statement necklace, a bow ring, pink bag and 4″ watercolor heels on top. In that case, the basics suit me just fine.

I recognize where these photos were taken . . . taking the lead line in this post literally. “Those were the days . . .”
Be well!
Yes, quite literal! Definitely took these on a teacher work day and got some very suspicious looks from campus security.
Hope y’all have a wonderful trip to Italy!
