10 on the 10th 10.2021: Dressing Up

Sweet friends,  I tell ya, blogging can be such fun and then such a headache at times.  Before I elaborate, thanks for joining me for 10 on the 10th 10.2021: Dressing Up.  I think this will be a fun post to read, if I can just get it published. All of a sudden last week, […]

My Fashion Haus: Sub Librarian Looks, 9.14.2017

  Fashionistas and teaching friends, Opening My Fashion Haus for a quick review of a week’s worth of sub librarian looks.  One of the perks of being back to school is getting to dress up-ish for work.  I say dress up-ish because there’s nothing very fancy about anything in my closet.  So dressing up for […]
