Yellow Bubble Necklace shouts spring is here!

One of my favorite ways to dress up work outfits is to wear statement necklaces, so over the next few months I will be doing series of Statement Style posts, featuring my favorite statement necklaces.

Statement Style #1 is Bubble Necklaces. I’m aware that this trend is past for many people but I’m a big fan of, “If you love it, wear it.” I have loved this necklace since I got it because it brightens up so many outfits in the spring and summer.

For certain statement necklaces, you want a higher necked top. A boat neck top is great (I liked one or two below) because the necklace stands out.  This top just about doesn’t make the cut for neckline but because the necklace chain is adjustable, it does the job. Plus, I just love flutter sleeves!

These pants were a TJ Maxx win. I wish I could find the perfect pair to link for you but I posted this too late and the best links were sold out before I got the post up. I love orange and I LOVE linen pants so these have been on constant rotation over the last few weeks. Teacher style for me is a mix of comfy and classy and linen pants fit the bill in both departments.

Top: Victoria Secret, really old. Similar, Similar, Similar.
Bottoms: TJMaxx, in store. Most similar here, Similar Color, Similar Color in Cropped style.

Target Style Inspiration

by Leave a Comment

Last week my students and I completed all of the curriculum for AP United States and Comparative Government. It’s quite an accomplishment to complete two college semesters worth of work in less than a high school year. Each year I practically collapse at the front of my room in exhaustion, hardly believing that I don’t have to frantically plan and grade and re-work lessons so that my students will be prepared for their AP Exams.

When I left the building that day I was ecstatic and…for the first time in what seemed like forever, I had nothing I had to do for the next day. So…I went shopping! It was reward time!

As soon as I walked into Target…they grabbed me. Oh the marketing ploys that trap innocent shoppers when they walk into the store. As soon as the sliding doors opened I saw this incredible scarf and the tassel bag. I already featured these on the “Summer is Coming” post last week but I wanted to show you how I wore them to school.

I adore bright colors so this scarf was just what I needed to feel dressed up for work but dreaming of summer days. This is another Sheinside.com top. Love love love it. The material is thicker than I expected but it fits great (size up) and even with jeans I felt dressy.

Target is really on-par with colors and patterns so far! Snatch the good stuff up before they’re gone!

Outfit Details:
Top: Sheinside, here. Wearing size XL (usually wear M)
Jeans: American Eagle, here.
Scarf: Target, here.
Lips: Mac’s Candy Yum Yum here, with Kat Von D’s Armageddon here. (or for a cheaper option, NYX High Voltage Lipstick in 01 here)
Earrings: Made by student
Sunglasses: Jane.com, here. I bought the Gold/Green and Gold/Purple.

Orange Sheath + Leopard Heels

by 2 Comments

Sheath dresses are such a great work staple to have in the closet. I have often looked for a good sheath dress but have had a hard time finding one that fit in my price range. When I was searching for an Easter dress this year I came across this nice bright orange sheath dress on sale and snatched it up. The fit was right for my body and the dress wasn’t too short for me to wear to work. Plus, with my love of orange…I just had to have it!
One of the reasons a sheath dress is a great closet staple for someone who works in a professional environment is that it’s easy to dress up a variety of ways. In this post I’ve shown you two ways I would wear this dress and shoe combo. I have no doubt that you will see me wearing it more as the months go on.
As the sun started making a more regular appearance around here I craved brighter, spring colors. But, springtime in Washington state isn’t quite as warm as it looks out the window so I opted for the lace blazer combo to wear to school.
My shoes are old, but I consider a leopard shoe such an important closet staple that I’ve linked a number of other options for you below.

Dress: JCPenney, here.
Lace Blazer: Ross, old. Similar
Shoes: Nine West, Ross. Most Similar. Others below and in the Widget.
Necklace: Similar, Similar
Leopard Clutch: Amazon, last year. Love this one!
Lips: NYX High Voltage Lipstick, Sweet 16. Here
