I really can’t stop wearing this skirt lately. It has quickly become one of my favorites. I kinda wish I had it in a bunch of colors. I feel like it instantly makes any outfit a little more fun and makes me happy. Especially when stupid winter wants to hang on with a vengeance and we keep having these cold, grey days like in these pictures. I tried to brighten up my day with a bright sweater and neon pink watch. At least I was cheery.
I have been packing all morning. I head out to Austin tomorrow till Monday. Eeek. I am so nervous to speak at the Texas Style Council Conference. I am going to be a moderator of one of the panels as well as speaking on a panel myself. Here’s to hoping I don’t pass out. Haha. Wouldn’t that be funny? Well, not for me but for everyone in attendance though.
Wish me luck!

This is bright and cheery! I love the cardigan and bright watch.
And you’ll do fine!! You’re a teacher, and I feel like teaching would make me way more nervous than speaking on this panel. Plus your video you made was so amazing, you’re a natural at this stuff!
Good luck! 🙂

You’ll be an excellent speaker Jen, I was way impressed with your dressing room video, I’d totally blank out and go “euhm” if I had to make a video like that.
Things are very grey here too, so I’m wearing a bright coral cardi today.
i love that bright pink watch! i’ve definitely been feeling the drabness of this winter in chicago. always helps to add some color 🙂 good luck in austin!
that watch is eerily similar to the karim rashid x alessi kaj (here’s one in pink). i wanted it for years after seeing it at the moma store and on a coworker, and finally got one last year (in green). i love it!
I’m sure you’ll be great both speaking and moderating a panel! Have fun in Austin… I still wish I could have made it.
I love the cardigan – it’s like a bouquet! Have fun in Texas, I’m sure you’ll do great!
Jen, this outfit is absolutely adorable. I LOVE the shape of that skirt + the floral top IS the perfect touch. Best of luck at the conference, I would pass out for real. I am sure that your years of teaching experience will kick in -you’ll do great! xx veronika
good luck! i’m sure you’ll do great!
Enjoy your stay in Austin! I’m sure you’re gonna appreciate the weather–I’m wearing sandals and in bare legs today! And Jen, you’re gonna do amazing, I know it! You were a teacher AND you’re a mom–there’s nothing you can’t handle! 😀
That watch is blowing my mind! love it!
Best of luck! The conference will be a blast!! Really looking forward to updates!

Such a cute outfit and I love your cheerful burst of color! I have a sundress covered in bright flowers that I like to wear on such “grey” days. I like to pair it with some tights, cardigan, and boots. A burst of spring time in the dead of winter. 🙂 Praying that all goes well in TX ~ I’m confident that you’ll do a wonderful job!! 🙂
I Love the cardigan. And you’ll do great at the conference!
you are adorable in this outfit. Your idea of bright colors to fight the blues is genius! I baked cupcakes in an effort to brighten the day
Good luck at the conference. Im sure you’ll be fantastic
You’ll have a great time and do a wonderful job! (Your teaching genes will kick in!)
Wish I could go!

Good luck, Jen! You’re going to be amazing.
I love the outfit – the pretty pops of colour with the dark skirt is beautiful!
Good luck Jen! The other posters here are right! Your videos you have done have been great and you have the teaching skills to do awesome! (I don’t have any good skills, like bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills…. Napoleon Dynamite anyone?LOL)
That skirt is lovely, especially paired with that cheerful floral top!
Good luck at the conference! I know how nerve-wracking it can be speaking in front of so many people, but I’m sure you’ll be awesome!
No wonder you can’t stop wearing that skirt – it’s adorable! And you’ll do great at the conference, have fun!
Can I just say how nice it is to see snow on YOUR ground too?! All these spring fever posts from around the blog world are making this Milwaukee girl totally jealous:)
Adorable little outfit darlin, have fun in Austin!!

You look lovely as always! It really is the perfect skirt to match with anything. I need more of those. Best of luck. Public speaking makes me so nervous. If I’m not holding flashcards or something I get really fidgety.
great skirt! awesome!

Even though you were nervous, and there was a lot of pressure being the first moderator of the day, you did great! 🙂
