I am finally on Spring Break! And let me tell you, teachers look forward to spring break as much as students! In this season where my students and I are pressing on towards the goal of the AP Exam at the beginning of May, we all need a little break. It’s time for some casual clothes and some walks in the sun!

I bought this off-the-shoulder top to go with my Valentine’s Date Outfit, but it didn’t come in time. Then, it sold out so I didn’t want to post it. However, it is now back in stock and there are really similar tops out there right now so I thought I’d give you an idea of how I wore this during my own casual, down time. I’d never wear this outfit to work, but it’s Spring Break, and why not!? Plus, just like last summer, off-the-shoulder tops are everywhere this spring. I love this one because the ruffle on top adds a second layer over the chest area and is flattering on the arms.

It was such a nice day when we needed to shoot these photos that my husband and I decided to take a walk at one of the local wetlands. It was the perfect weather for a straw fedora and aviators! The great thing about this off-the-shoulder top is that it can be dressed up with a skirt or dressed down with a pair of jeans or jean shorts. The casual outfit and walk through the trees was just what I needed to get in the Spring Break spirit. What are your favorite things to do on break? Let me know in the comments!

teacher fashion for spring chambray and stripes for work

Just a quick post this week since I’ve been sick all week and ended up missing 2 days of school! For an AP teacher this close to Exams, it’s a nightmare missing days. I have quite a bit of catching up to do! But, the sun came out today and spring is in the air so I want to share what I wore to my first day back at work!

I love an all-white outfit(and stripes go with everything!) but this morning I felt like it needed a little bit of color. Tying the chambray shirt around the waist was just the thing to break up the white and the earrings added the color! It’s comfortable, but work-appropriate for a high school teacher like myself.

In other news, I adore these new sandals and highly recommend a pair of open-toe sandals or mules for spring. They are so comfortable, even with the heel, and the open toe makes these a great alternative to booties for springtime! I have been wearing them almost every day because they go with any pair of my favorite skinny jeans. Plus, they go so well with this awesome purse from Amazon!

Spring Colors for the Workplace

Orange Pencil Skirt and Pink Blouse for Spring

Spring Outfit Teacher Style Orange Pencil Skirt

A few weeks ago I posted this outfit, wearing this pink bow top. I absolutely love it, from the color to the bow, to the material. As soon as I got it I kept thinking of all these different ways to wear it and today I’m showing you another way to style this gorgeous bow blouse, though it could be applied to other pink blouses as well.

I love mixing colors, especially bright colors. Today’s work outfit features two of my favorite colors-pink and orange. When mixing such bright colors, it’s good to keep the shoe fairly neutral. Since I’m still on the lookout for the perfect nude pump, adding the gold belt allowed me to tie in my gold bow heels from Valentine’s day as well. Both the gold belt and the orange pencil skirt are staples of my closet that I find I wear over and over again.

What do you think? Would you wear pink and orange together? Would you wear it to work?

Outfit Details:

Pink Bow Top: Chicwish, here. (Order 1 size up! I ordered a Large) Similar here and here (pay close attention to measurements from this site).
Orange Pencil Skirt: Ann Taylor Factory, old. Similar here (and on sale!), here and here.
Gold Bow Heels: Macy’s, here. Similar here or here.
Gold Purse: Ross, old. Similar in widget below.
