I'd like to take a minute to talk about my favorite shoes. A few years ago, Oprah had named a fancy but little known ballet flat as one of her favorite things. When Oprah says something is good, everyone in America jumps on board. Soon these shoes started showing up on my Pinterest feed and Facebook advertisements at an increasing rate. I kept thinking to myself, "What's the big deal with these shoes?" I mean, the packaging is pretty and leather is cozy, but are they really worth the hype? So, I decided to treat myself to a pair to see what the big deal is... and my love for Tieks was born.

This whole blog idea was actually born five or six years ago in my classroom. That year, I had a couple of students who kept a notebook in their choir folder and wrote down what I wore every day. They would ask me questions like, "how BIG is your closet" and "do you just go home and throw your clothes away at the end of every day?" They didn't believe that I ever wore the same thing twice, no matter how hard I tried to convince them that I DID. And so, to prove them wrong, my #OOTD catalog was born.

The fourth annual Jeff Dresses Jennifer for Work Week was held last week, March 18-22. Overall, the week was a huge success. Jeff thoughtfully created a chart with a theme for each day, breaking down how the whole style should be put together. He put a lot of thought and energy into each look.

A few years ago, my husband read an article online about a man who decided to dress his wife for a whole week of work. As a fashion conscious man himself, Jeff decided he wanted to take on that challenge and Jeff Dresses Jennifer For Work Week was born. Each year during the week before my spring break, he builds my entire style for the day from head to toe.
