Yes, classroom chic. Because this girl right here *points at self* is a teacher!!!! *and the crowd goes wild* AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! This goes out to my 12th grade AP Calculus AB teacher who looked at me one day and said, "Stephanie, you should be a teacher." She must've seen something in me that, at the time, I hadn't seen in myself but now it's seeping from my pores. Hip-hip Hooray!!!!

Ok, I'm calm now. Yes, I am officially a co-teacher at the best school in Albany and I will be teaching 8th grade math starting Monday. *raises roof* If my excitement isn't oozing off this page, then I must be doing something incredibly wrong. Hehe. Most of my students will call me Ms. U. The elite will aim for the full Ms. Ukpere. I'll let you know how many get it right.

This is what I wore to my first day of Professional Development (PD). My goal was to embody the 3 C's: cool, comfortable and CUTE! I was cool. I was comfortable. And I sure think I was cute! How did I do?!

I look tired in many of the pictures...that's because I was. I tried, but obviously failed, to hide it. I'll do better next time, I promise!

WARNING: DO NOT JUDGE ME for the photo underneath this warning. I look divalicious. You have been warned.

Until next time!

What I'm Wearing
Oval Clip-On Earrings: thrifted | Bracelets: Assorted | Necklace: Charming Charlie's
Geo-Square Trench Coat: Talbots | White Button Down Blouse: Talbots | Denim Zip Crops: Macy's
White Belt: Long time loan* | White Oxfords: PacSun

*Thanks Erica! (Hehe, I'll give it back >_> or buy you a new one ^_^)

Okay, so we're staying away from black on rainy days, right? If I had it the way I planned, even my umbrella wouldn't have been black... but I had to draw a line somewhere...

And yes, I said "planned" because when I saw this trench coat, my heart spoke to me. She said, in the sweetest voice I'd ever heard,

"Stephanie, you know she belongs in your closet, right? It'll be a rainy spring, you know? She looks like she's yearning to protect you from getting drenched. That's a nice looking trench!"

And from that point on, I developed the urge to splurge. Usually, I wouldn't have spent as much for anything as I did for this amazing trenchcoat, but, after two wears (and many to come in the future), it was sooooo worth it! (In the comments, take a guess at how much I paid.) And once I purchased it, I started to plan all my future outfits. I'm still looking for the perfect umbrella! I found one on totes but it sold out before I could snatch it up!

I had so much fun taking pictures in the rain! More than I anticipated!


Until next time!

What I'm Wearing
Head Scarf: H&M | Earrings: my sister's closet | Necklace: old
Trench Coat: H&M (thrifted $7)
Cream Scarf: F21
White Button-Up: H&M (my sister's closet)
Slate Midi-Skirt: H&M ($20)
Brown Satchel: H&M ($15)
Oxford Style Flats: Kimichi Blue (ebay)

I had a lot of fun taking pictures on this day. Most of that had to do with the fact that I felt so removed from blogging and taking pictures that it was almost uncomfortable for me to be "natural" so I delivered all the most awkward poses I could think of. And it made both me and my friend Jasmine have a good ole laugh.

THIS JUST IN:
-By the time this post goes up, I will be DONE with finals. HOW EXCITING!
-TOMORROW is my birthday and my hair is STILL NOT DONE. *nonchalantly hyperventilating*
-I look like a grandmother from the 50s/60s in this outfit an I am okay with that. All this picture needs is to be sepia toned with a couple faded edges and VOILA! An almost authentic Throwback Thursday ;)

-The bottom half of the photo below looked outrageous. I'll take it to my grave with me...and Jasmine of course. Since she took the picture in the first place.

Happy [belated] Valentine's Day!

Even if you didn't have the typical "Valentine", remember, as long as you love the person you are this day should be abundant in just as much love as any other day!

How To Be Your Perfect Valentine
1. Love yourself.
2. Show the people you care about just how much you love them.
3. Smile and enjoy the day. Smiles are contagious. You can be the reason for someone else's smile.

My Valentine's Day was filled with love and affection, as it should be, and as everyday before and after it should be as well. From Chipotle to the not so cold-day, I can honestly say I thoroughly enjoyed it! And, as most of you know, your girl Chocolate Laced is a spoken word poet/artist... in a way. I'm an executive board member of the #1 Performing Arts Student Group at my university, Phenomenal Voices, and on the night of Valentine's Day, we organized a beautiful showcase of talents that we called Love Jones. It was simply divine and I shared a very special piece with the audience (called My Addiction). :) Once the video is uploaded, I promise to share it with you all, too!

I hope you all enjoyed your Valentine's Day!
