Rocaille of the Day: Back to school

I've profited from the occasion that I was alone at the house today and took a couple of photos in the garden to show you my 'back to school' outfit. By 'back to school' I don't mean that school year in Poland starts in June (that'd be silly even for Poland), but rather that I am back at high school, and this time - as a teacher. I'm having my English teaching internship now and today was the first day that I actually taught a class of 17 year olds. I was trying to make myself look 'mature', but let's face it: I look like I was 17 myself.


Striped tee: Reserved
Red skirt: H&M
Belt: Reserved
Sequined flats: Deichmann
Coral earrings and shell bracelet: presents from Mum
Watch: Fossil


I'm confined to wearing glasses right now because of the allergy to grass pollen; normally I never wear them. Do you girls also prefer contact lenses? They're much more comfortable in my opinion!


I opted for neutral eyes with a splash of color on the lips; sorry if it's worn off a bit, it was a long and very hot day! I've got a bit of Covergirl Tapestry Taupe shadow on the lid with MAC Satin Taupe blended in the crease and Prestige Powerful Purple liner smudged into the lashline, which is one of my favorite everyday looks. On the lips: MAC Jest lipstick.


Let me know if you enjoy this kind of posts, lovelies, and have a great week! xxx

    Aw you look lovely :)
    I hope your first day went well :)

    I much prefer contact too. I hate wearing my glasses, especially now as I have contacts that you wear 24/7 for a month! Lol xx

    Yes, more posts like this! I like your skirt a lot.
    I remember my first teaching internship (yes, I graduated as a teacher of English myself), I was 19 and some of my students were actually older; there was even a married+pregnant girl in the class!
    Your glasses are cute, and they will make you look a bit older!

    Thank you for all your lovely words, ladies! I'll keep these posts coming then :) I hope I'll be able to get my husband to take the photos in the future, for now I'm mastering the art of self-timer. Tomorrow is another day of teaching, wish me luck! xxx

    Thanks for good luck wishes! Tomorrow should be easier than today, the beginings are always the hardest :)

    As for my skin, I think it was maybe just clever lighting? In fact, some of the photos were taken in the rain, it was begining to drizzle when I set out. Who knew I looked good in the rain? xxx
