Teacher Fashion: Tribal pencil skirt with Navy Peplum top and Baublebar Statement Necklace

Ever since I bought this skirt for school in the fall, I’ve been looking for a way to wear it on the blog! Here’s what’s awesome about this skirt: 1) It’s SO comfortable – stretchy! 2) It’s longer than some pencil skirts and therefore more appropriate for my job – teaching 3) the pattern is a great one for fall and winter!

I also love this peplum top but since I bought it so long ago, I’ve included some options currently in stock for you! Navy is such a great color and I love how the necklace just pops!

OH! And I wanted to let you give you a heads up about this skirt I will be featuring next week! It’s SO wonderful – the perfect party skirt! I bought it for Valentine’s day (see below) but am also going to be wearing it for our trip to the Nutcracker this year! Chicwish is a great online retailer that has amazing skirts but it takes a few weeks to ship! To take advantage of their free shipping you have to order by December 10! Express shipping needs to be done by Dec 15 to get it there in time for Christmas!

I can’t tell you how much I love this skirt and there are more options where it came from! They’re having a sale right now so make sure to take advantage of the great prices! I will post some clickable pictures of the skirts below the outfit details! (tip: size up! Read reviews for how much to size up! Leave comments below with questions!)

Over-the-knee boots with a DIY Christmas gift Blanket Scarf

Tunic // Boots (LOVE these, great dupe for these) // Scarf – DIY!

Though this picture didn’t show up on Instagram, I am so excited to share with you an affordable DIY Christmas gift for friends and relatives. I have been looking at blanket scarves for so long now and just can’t get myself to spend the $30 to $40 for one. Then, one night I thought…I bet I could MAKE one of those! Sure enough, Pinterest delivered. I used a tutorial from The DIY Mommy, here. I stopped by Jo-Ann Fabrics when they had a sale and ended up creating 4 of these for a little under $10 each.

I used 41″ flannel fabric. This one works well but it would be nice if it was a little bigger. Blanket scarves are typically 55″ x 55″.

Next time I will use wider fabric. On Fabric.com there are some great 56″ options. See here, here and here.

Here is a way I wore that scarf on Instagram.

The skirt I’m wearing in this picture is also a great Christmas buy. Chicwish ships internationally so it takes a little longer to ship but it has great quality and styles. If you order from them, make sure to read the reviews. Most of the time you want to size up! I’m wearing a Large in this picture.
