Monday, and upping my game

Yesterday was the first day of classes at my university.  I don't teach on Mondays, but since students were back on campus I decided to say good by to my casual skirts, tank tops and flip-flops of summer.  I am officially back in school year dressing. 

I got this dress on an Ann Taylor Loft clearance rack last summer when I was out here with my aunt looking for housing.  I added the black ribbon belt to give the waist so more definition.  My office is always cold, so a sweater works year round.  I once saw Kate Gossling wearing this dress on a tv interview.  Hmmm, not a fan of hers, so made me reconsider the dress until I realized it looks better on me than her anyway.  :)
