Two OOTD (Tatum Jacket and a Graphic Tee)

I am a busy, busy bee this week so please pardon my lack of comments (I wll try to catch up later, but thank you for your sweet comments to my last post. I feel better now about splurging on the dress).
I just wanted to post the two outfits that I wore yesterday, because they are so very different but I felt good wearing both of them.

Yesterday morning we toured an ongoing school in the neighborhood (we are applying for kindergarten in the fall and we are starting to prospect). I absolutely wanted to wear a BR dress (from maybe three years ago) that I think is perfect for this kind of occasions because of its understated elegance. This school in particular is an all-girl catholic school and I find the dress to be particularly fitting in that it is very chast:

The problem: it's a short-sleeve knit dress meant to be worn on its own but it was still too cold for that (even if spring is definitively here)and I had a hard time to find a jacket to wear over it (cardigans don't work with this dress). It's a particular shade of navy and none of my navy jackets/blazers matched. I tried at least ten jackets, while my husband was rolling his eyes and singing the Husband's International Anthem "With all the money that you spend in clothes you can't have anything better?".
In the end I wore my Tatum tweed blazer and we were both satisfied with the result:

Change of outfit in the afternoon. We had offered my daughter's nursery school to give a few French classes to the kids in my her class as a sort of an afterschool program (my husband's idea). The first class was yesterday and I worked very hard to prepare it. I was terribly stressed because I am not a teacher and to keep a bunch of 4 years old entarttained for 45 minutes while teaching them a few words in French is not an easy task, but it went pretty well (they were especially amused by my version of "head, shoulders, knees and toes" in French).
In any case my outfit was meant to be amusing, even if I didn't get to teach them the "things that move" part of the lesson. At least I was amused by my tee (that I found for a bargain at Urban Outfitters a while ago and actually bought to wear on Bastille Day, when I never know what to wear), which is actually grammatically incorrect in French (it says "Francais tour a velo" and I am not sure if "Francais" is meant to be part of the sentence or not. In any case, they can't read):

The pants are Zara chinos (more on these in another post) and the cardigan is a Loft (from January). The funny thing is that when I weny grocery shopping later I caught people staring at me like I knew something that they didn't know (like that it was some French national day or there was actually a French bike tour in NY).

OK, I will try to post a few fitting room pics before the end of the weekend (not guaranteed). In the meanwhile I wish you a happy one.
