by Leave a Comment

Who loves Baublebar?! I do, I do!

One of the fashion tips I have learned over the last year is that a statement necklace or earrings can make a casual outfit FAB! When it comes to statement jewelry, Baublebar is king. (Plus, opening a box from Baublebar is just so FUN! It’s feels like I’m a VIP!)

Right now, Baublebar is having their Spring Cleaning event (up to 75% off!)! So,  if you’ve ever wanted to order the perfect statement necklace, this is the time to buy. Help them make way for new jewelry and take advantage of the awesome prices! I’ve linked some of my favorites below.

A Pop of Color

Some mornings you just don’t have time to think of accessories. Today was one of those mornings for me. I had a long day of block periods with lots of lesson transitions ahead of me and accessorizing was not as important as getting a grip on the morning.
 
Thankfully, I have seen lots of similar, basic outfits on Pinterest lately that didn’t take much effort to put together the night before. Skinny jeans, a striped top and a white blazer as the basics and a pop of color with the red shoes (which, by the way…I can’t get enough of!) to top it off.
 
Each of these ingredients are what I would consider closet basics. Picture after picture I see from blogs and on Pinterest make use of these basics in a variety of ways. I will mention more about these in later posts, but for today, they were the perfect easy combination to look “put together” on a day that I needed to feel put together (if you know what I mean!).  
 
So when I walked in my classroom at 6:30 AM and glanced in the mirror behind my desk I couldn’t help but wonder what was missing. I had my pop of red but no accessories to pull the outfit together. Lipstick to the rescue! That was all it took.
 
Lipstick is the perfect accessory. I was uncomfortable the first time I wore it because I felt like my lips were so bright, everyone must be looking at me!  Then, I glanced in the mirror and felt grown up. That’s what lipstick did to me the first time – made me look and feel grown up. It added a level of completion and professionalism to my look and on days like today that I feel drowsy, lipstick helps me look like I’ve “got it together.”

When it comes to teacher fashion I find that simple but professional is key. At 5:30 AM I don’t have time to do complicated mixing and matching! That’s where this work outfit comes in.

There are three basic staples of my closet in this outfit: 1) a bright tunic 2) a bold statement necklace and 3) a great pair of white skinny jeans. Now, I will tell you, a great pair of white skinny jeans is not always easy to find. For me, it took over a year to find the right pair. They were always too thin (definitely NOT work appropriate), too long, too skinny (*wink wink*), or just hugged the wrong places. Then along came a sale at LOFT and an Instagram from @emilyanngemma and I finally found the perfect pair. They aren’t too long, too thin or too skinny and I LOVE them! For work they are professional but comfortable. These are the color “natural” so they aren’t a stark white and I already have lots of ideas for how to wear them this spring and summer.

Do you have a great pair of white skinny jeans you just love? Where did you snatch them up?

Fuchsia Top: Old Navy, old. Similar linked.
