I'm terrible at languages, but it's not for lack of trying. For some reason, I just don't get it. I mean, I took 3 years of Latin in high school and my teacher might as well have been trying to teach the subject to a potato.
I decided to take Tara's photography advice (Little Girl Big Closet) of using a prop, but I'm pretty sure she meant a relevant prop and not some random thing in my apartment, haha!
In fact, I'm sure most root vegetables would be able to conjugate verbs better than I can.
Moving on, the OOTD:
blouse, ann taylor loft
jackie cardigan, j.crew
wrap skirt, theory
heart tights, urban outfitters
wide belt, calvin klein
black flats, urban outfitters

Also, a quick update on my weight loss progress -- since taking much of the advice you all so kindly gave me last week (drink more water! strength train! plan your snacks!), I have lost 2 pounds as of today. HECK YES. I plan to lose at least 2 more pounds by next week, so let's see how this goes! *fingers crossed*
Also also, congrats to Sylviee for winning the $100 Shopbop giftcard giveaway!
I love this OOTD! The colors are so pretty, I like the cardi especially.
ReplyDeletecongrats on your weight lose. I love yoga and running, which helps me tone up and keep the weight down.
ReplyDeleteHooray! I'm glad you're doing it slow and steady, that's the way to do it!
ReplyDeleteYou look SO fantastic in this outfit! I love those tights and the belted cardigan and the ruffles underneath.
If it makes you feel any better, I took four years of Spanish and can't remember a thing. It's awful.
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
I nearly spit out my lunch at my desk reading your "might as well have been teaching a potato" comment. Lol, love it :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm going to have to take some of the advice that was offered! Your nails are always great, I love the green today! Plus those heart tights are pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry girl, I took Latin in junior high, four years of HS spanish and four semester of french in college - and about all I remember is the "Ten Little Romani" song - and that "poulet" and "pouvet" are not the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI love how you always know how to rock a full skirt well - even with a bird cage candle holder, haha! ;o)
I don't get other languages either! You look so pretty today and congrats on losing the 2 pounds!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! The tights are great, and the fullness of the skirt is lovely!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are those tights!! I'm also really loving that skirt, you look adorable!
ReplyDeleteLove the cool nail polish. Also love the color of your Jackie cardigan. Look forward to your OOTD every day. So inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI work in french and feel like I haven't improved much in 4 years- I think there are limits after a certain age!!
ReplyDeletelove the green nails and light grey skirt- such a subtle print, and then it works nicely with the hearts too!
I love the detailing on the blouse's neck. And my year of college French feels like it never happened. Congrats on your success with your fitness routine! And seriously jonesing for that green polish on your nails. Details, please?
ReplyDeletehahaha - you crack me up - a potato! I have just been looking into signing my kids up for Latin. Oh boy. I will be of no help I'm sure. I love the color of your cardi and your cute tights. I started strength training this week too - my upper body is killing me. Today was cardio so tomorrow is lower body - I'm scared. What are you doing to train?
ReplyDeletecongrats on the 2 pounds!
ReplyDeleteYay way to re-kick start your weight loss journey! I went to French immersion school from K - 6th grade. I took a break from french until I went to college and was so surprised that I picked it back up so quickly. When you're in time of need - you'll remember. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look too cute! re: weight loss. Think "fitness gain". I've been doing weight training since the new year, and yes, my lower half still has a ways to go (cos that's where I tend to carry my weight), but I've been seeing real results with my arms and shoulders, and the waistline has shrunk! Weight hasn't gone down at all, but my goal was to get more toned, not skinny. Good luck with your health program!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfits!!! And I'm so proud of your hard work paying off :)
ReplyDeleteI have an affinity for languages but I'm like a potato when it comes to math. And by "math" I mean counting. I always make mistakes in my aerobics classes counting to 12 for our repetitions...I like to think it's because I'm focused on everyone's form and keeping them motivated--but really I'm just a potato. I always designate a class participant as my counting police. LOL
ha! hilarious ~ i took 3 years of french in high school and can rattle off the alphabet and count to 20, but my pronunciation leaves something to be desired. i love this outfit and the new sweater! it's fun getting new things! i'm enamored with the jackie cardigan. it's a perfect fit and the colors are fabulous. excellent blue ~ and i'm drooling over that belt! ~ susan
ReplyDeleteOMG, I had/have the same problem with languages and no one understands.
ReplyDelete:) thanks for the post
