You might be asking yourself "why is this girl leaping like an idiot?", well I'll tell you: at approximately 11:06 am this morning my travel season for work officially ended. This is huge. It ENDED. Am I over- reacting? It may seem like it, but in the past two and a half months I have driven over 9,000 miles, visited around 60 different high schools, talked to (I'm sure) thousands of high school kids, and have risen for work almost daily at the ungodly hour of 5:00 am. So yes, I think I am allowed to take pictures in a parking lot of myself jumping around like a five year old hopped-up on Pixie Stix and then post said photos on the internet. Yay! So I'm really happy, we've covered that.

Now, my outfit. I have a definite thing for vintage leather skirts. Whether they be suede, nubuck, or leather, I love the high waisted fit and great texture. I found this suede skirt at a Salvation Army in Raymond, Maine which- for those of you who don't know your Maine geography- is out in the middle of nowhere. I still hold to the belief that the best thrift stores are either at churches or in the boonies! My belt is one of my favorites, I love the gold owls! So, if you're ever in Maine and need some thrift recommendations, let me know!

I hope you all have a great weekend!
