Statement Style #2 – The Bib Necklace

Statement Necklace and Skinnies

I fell in love with this necklace the first time I saw a blogger wearing it and after seeing how many different ways it can be worn I decided to stalk the sales on it. When Baublebar had a 40% off sale I finally snagged it. My husband, Jeremy, calls it my “Mr. T Necklace” but every time I wear it I get a number of compliments. When it comes to making a statement, this necklace does it.
As the school year is gradually drawing to a close I find my teacher style relaxing quite a bit. The skinny jeans and cardigan are for comfort and the heels and statement necklace dress the outfit up a bit more for work. You can see another way I wore this necklace here.
What kinds of work outfit pairings do you turn to on those days when the pencil skirt is just too much work?
Necklace: Baublebar, here. (I always wait for a sale!)
Top: Ross, Old. Most Similar, Similar, Similar. (and more in widget below!)
Jeans: Ross, Old. Most similar, Other, Other.
Cardigan: Forever 21, Here. Similar in Yellow, Similar.
Heels: Nine West (could not find online). A good alternative would be Adrianna Papell in Lilac Garden Print.

As always, thanks for reading!

Statement Style #1 – The Bubble Necklace

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.

Outfit Details:
Top: Victoria Secret, really old. Similar, Similar, Similar.
Bottoms: TJMaxx, in store. Most similar here, Similar Color, Similar Color in Cropped style.
Wedges: Guess Cognac, old. Similar, Awesome!,Similar.
Necklace: Ily Couture, old. Similar.

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.

Thanks so much for reading! 🙂
