Last spring I scored these cobalt dress pants from Loft for $4, I ended up altering them to ankle pants, which I like a lot more, these cobalt pants are very similar. I haven't worn them all summer, so I'm excited to pull them back out for the new school year. I decided to keep this outfit simple with my striped blazer and a basic black top. I don't wear pants much, but if I had more like these I sure think I would.
This week at school the kids were introduced to Passion Projects as part of Genius Hour. Each of the kids will get one hour each week in class (we'll rotate) to work on something they are passionate about. On Tuesday we introduced it and the kids came up with their "fat questions." (i.e. what they want to learn) Over the next 16 weeks the kids will research and at the end create "something" to share what they've learned. Questions ranged from "Why is Louis Vuitton a brand beloved by so many people?" to "How can I make kids with cancer feel like they're normal while they're sick?" I'm so excited to see what these kids come up with and have so many amazing teachers at my grade level who slaved away to get all of this ready!

That sounds like an amazing project! I love these pants on you, so, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThese pants are amazing, especially with the striped blazer! It sounds like your school is taking on something really special, I bet the kids will love it.
ReplyDeleteOh my-- that question. What a sweet child that wants to make other children with cancer feel normal. Warms my heart this morning!
ReplyDeleteI love these pants! I'm excited to see you transition to fall temperatures. I missed this last year! You're such a great remixer I'm excited to follow because this is one of the hardest transitions for me.
Love those pants Ginny! They look fantastic on you as ankle pants! Good call hemming them!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sharp look - very polished and professional! I'm sure your kids will do great with their passion projects - sounds like they've got some interesting ideas!

ReplyDeleteAnd these pants are so great. You know I don't every wear pants, but I would totally love a fancy cobalt pair like these!
Hahhaa kids ask the funniest question. Loved both of those you mentioned. They are smarty pants. Your cobalt pants look great with the striped blazer, also.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool project!! Being a teacher must be so ah-mah-zing!

That sounds like such a clever project!! Getting kids to choose questions they want to find the answer to instead of just assigning something. Great idea!
ReplyDeleteI adore this outfit on you! You said you don't wear pants very often. When it gets super cold, do you just wear really thick tights? I wear pants more than anything else so I'd be lost at what to wear to stay warm instead!
Love it! The color of those pants is so pretty! I love cobalt blue everything :).
