SWM 2009 - Day 10

It was spirit day...like every Friday.  I wore my Crocs.  These are more fashion ofrward than the traditional Crocs.  They have a canvas strap instead of rubber all the way around.  They are very comfy. 

I heart flip-flops!

SWM 2009 - Day 9

It was "Wacky Wednesday"...on a Thursday.  WACKY!  I dressed up like someone who had clearly forgotten her medication.  I wore an old bridesmaid dress, circa 1991.  It was nearly floor-length red crinoline.  I wore crazy red make-up and put my hair up in 20 mini-buns.  To top off the outfit I wore all read jewelry and my red rain boots.

I got these while shopping with my friend, Joanne, at the Woodburn Outlets.  I think I paid 10 bones for them.  Sweet deal!  They are Polo by Ralph Lauren.

SWM 2009 - Day 8

Today was Neon Day.  I wore my amazing floor-length skirt with neon flowers and Impala on them.  I am quite confident that the skirt is older than I am. 

The shoe choice was difficult, but I finally settled on my white SaltWater Sandals.  I grew up wearing these kids of sandals because they were the only ones that I wouldn't wear out in a week.  They float in the water and won't fall apart due to the awesome stiching all the way around the sole.  I have owned these for about 10 years and are generally used for tubing down rivers and summer days.  I love them!

SWM 2009 - Day 7

Today was Twin Day at school.  Because I am generally pushy and like to be in-charge, I told everyone in my office what to wear.  The assignment was to wear your "PRIDE Polo" (it's our staff shirt), jeans and black shoes (clogs if you have them).

So I did just that.  I wore my black clogs. 

These Danskos are one of my favorite pair of shoes to wear teaching.  My feet are so happy in them that they would rather be in the clog than naked, which is saying something because I like naked feet.  If I had been more aware, I would have worn Danskos on my mission.  but, alas, I didn't learn this secret until a year after I came home.  Bah!

SWM 2009 - Day 6

This week is Homecoming at our school.  That means that every day is a different dress-up day.  I love my costumes so this week was fun.  Today was Plaid Day!  The only plaid I own is my pajama bottoms.  Awesome!  However, I did get lots of comments about "how comfortable I look."  I kept trying to tell myself they were simply jealous of my appropriate wearing of pj's to work, but in the back of my mind was what a student told me my first year teaching.  "Miss Hite, when we tell you that you look 'comfortable' it really means that we think you are a slob."  More awsome!

Anyhow, today's shoes are a pair of Keds that I purchased on sale at Fred Meyer while I was doing EFY a few summers ago.  My friend and co-worker, Bryan, picked them out.  They were a necessity on the first day of Forest Grove EFY 2007.  We had gone tubing down the Boise River two days prior.  I had forgotten to put suncreen on my legs and I was burnt to a crisp.  EFY rules state that you must wear closed toe shoes, but socks hurt too badly to wear my tennis shoes.  Thus an emergency run to Freddie's.

SWM 2009 - Day 5

These are my cowboy boots. They are amazing!! I got them on a trip to
Astoria with my good friend, Corey. They are Frye's and terribly
comfortable. Usually these babies cost between $300-$400. I scored
them for under $90!!

I wore these today because it was western wear day at school. Next
week there are more dress up days. If my costume is especially awesome
I will be sure to post tide as well.

For those who don't know, vegan shoes are those which are made with no
animal products. Leather, silk, etc.

SWM 2009 - Day 4

I love these shoes! They are made by Simple. They are blue suede
shoes. My favorite part is labeled arrows on the sole of the foot
that says, "toes go here."

SWM 2009 - Day 3

Today's shoe is an Aerosole elastic slide. I have no idea how long I
have owned these, but I think I remember wearing them my first year of
teaching...10 years ago!

I'm adding a new feature to these posts; a vegan count!

SWM 2009 - Day 2

I haven't forgotten about this project I was just kicked out of school
for a week by the principal. I promise that it has nothing to do with
cute teenage boys. In fact, I had the swine flu and was bannished from
the premises.

Anyhow, today's shoe is a leather mule sandal by Patagonia. I got it
on sale at Marshall's for ten bucks. They are super duper comfy. And I
really like the flower details.
