So, have you ever heard me say “FDO?” We all began saying it with our family friends. Picking out our FDO was always a big deal. What does FDO stand for? First Day Outfit.
[College Prepster Embarrassing Story: I forgot that not everyone was familiar with the acronym FDO… but in front of all the staffers on yearbook, I announced that they needed to make sure they brought their cameras on the first day of school and that “an FDO crisis was not an excuse for a forgotten camera.” Yeahhhhh, everyone stared at me like I had three heads. I said, “FDO…. First day outfit.” And they all laughed. The end.”]
Alright kiddies, I’ve gotten no less than 12 emails asking about what to wear to school. Here are some outfits I put together on Polyvore. Enjoyyyyy 🙂
I really think the gold accents on the shoe and the earrings complete the outfit. And I’m loving the tote. Although, I’ll admit. I HAVE to use a backpack. I’ve had back issues since middle school. I’ve turned Sporty Sister into my personal chiropractor as of late, much to her dismay.
I just bought a pair of the Gap boyfriend jeans. Ummm. I could live in them. No sucking in to button necessary. I also like the casual tee and jeans with the more dressy shoes and necklace!
Whoops! Repeat haha.. I just loved this outfit too much. I suspect I’ll be wearing it on September 1 (aka the first day of classes aka MY 21ST BIRTHDAY!).
I am such a sucker for acronyms. I will for sure be using FDO for years to come. By the way, I'm so jealous that you can actually wear long sleeves or jeans on your FD. It is SO hot in Tallahassee, I would be crazy to wear that.

When your toothbrush (@shoptrask!) is so cute you ALMOST don’t want to use it! I considered “saving” it (for what? I don’t know) and decided to ignore my instinct and enjoy it every day! I often have to remind myself about the number of stickers I didn’t use as a kid because I was “saving” them… or stationery collecting dust in a drawer because I was “saving” them… or candles that went unlit because I was “saving” them… or even a cute outfit I was “saving” for a special occasion. Trying to be better about using the things I have and love without guilt!!
I’ve been loving wearing my scarf collection and I’ve been getting questions about how I tie them! This is probably the way I wear it most- it’s super easy and the trick is to not be overly fussy with it. Go for it and zhuzh it up a little but don’t make it too perfect! Goal is effortless!
Fold the silk scarf across the middle to create a long triangle. Holding the two corners, twist the triangle back *towards* you a few times. While holding the corners, wrap behind your neck crossing behind you and pulling the corners back to the front of your neck. Tie once, then again to secure. I like to tuck mine into a button down!
PS I got this Hermes scarf as a souvenir while in Paris!
A wild Saturday night around here… and I wouldn’t want it any other way! A relaxing shower, clean hair, cozy bedtime routine, sourdough, laundry, a clean playroom, mahjong, (a little sweet treat… or two), needlepoint, skincare, and a good book! What could be better???
An evening routine as a mom of two with timestamps!
