White Skinny Jeans Teacher Outfit

March 19, 2018 by Virginia 25 Comments

Hello friends! Last week when I was trying to put together a cute teacher outfit I got pretty frustrated when I realized I had already worn my pair of white skinny jeans. At least once a week I put together a white skinny jeans teacher outfit. It’s one of the easiest ways to dress up my basic work wardrobe while staying comfortable. If you don’t have any, that would be my first recommendation for a Spring closet purchase.

First of all, white skinnies are great for work because you can get away with wearing jeans without having them look as casual as a regular pair of jeans. You get what I’m saying? (Somehow I feel like this is a fair way to get around the “no jeans except on Friday” rule without being “unprofessional,” but maybe I’m just fooling myself, lol) Second, as spring approaches, they are a great way to brighten up your fall or winter wardrobe pieces. This olive cardigan was one I picked up two years ago at the Nordstrom Anniversary sale (and still love). It’s definitely one of my “fall” items, but I love the way it looks with an all-white outfit. Pairing your dark tops with a pair of white skinny jeans brightens up the whole look.

Now, I will say that the hunt for the right pair of white skinny jeans can be somewhat daunting. It took me a long time to find the right pair and I’ve owned these for at least 3 years, maybe 4. For me the right pair of white skinny jeans are: ankle length perfect and a thick fabric. I find that ankle length jeans are perfect to pair with any shoe. I’ve worn these with booties for fall, with sandals for summer, and they don’t even bunch up under over-the-knee boots (see this post).

I recommend spending more on a pair of white skinny jeans just because a better quality jean is going to last and it won’t be as see-through. These were purchased from LOFT and I absolutely love the version they are carrying for spring this year with the cute double-fringe on the bottom. I tried them on in-store and they are the same nice thick fabric as the pair I own. Mine have survived the test of time and I would expect this pair to wear the same way. Sign up for LOFT emails and be ready for the next sale! They’re worth it! I’ve also rounded up some other good options of white jeans below.

Five Favorite Fall Outfits

October 30, 2017 by Virginia 18 Comments

The fall weather has made me so happy! The colors are so vibrant in New England and even though I know it won’t be around much longer (as shown by the thick layer of leaves I need to rake off my lawn…), I’m so happy to light my favorite candle and curl up with my favorite blanket! It has also got me thinking about my favorite fall outfits. I tend to turn to tried-and-true classics during the fall and I really think there’s something to the “fall uniform” concept. I just want to be warm and cozy and that never goes out of style. Plus, during the fall I start to feel like, “How else can I actually wear a tunic and boots!?” So, I started looking back through my outfits from the last few fall seasons and realized that I still wear a lot of them.

This week I’m sharing 5 favorite fall outfits from the past that you can still reproduce to wear this fall. I will link to all the original posts if you want to see if the original items are still in stock. Many aren’t, so the links below each image are similar items you can use to reproduce these favorite fall outfits today.

Fall Color Trend: Mustard Clothing

October 2, 2017 by Virginia 14 Comments

This week’s post is going to be short and sweet! I’ve been pretty behind on watching trends for the last month. In fact, Friday I cleaned out my email, only to realize I had over a month of store and sale emails backed up in my “Promotions” tab on gmail! Sheesh…don’t EVER let your email get that backed up! Thousands and thousands of deleted emails later my Promotions Inbox is clear and I’m excited about one of my favorite fall trends, Mustard!

I’ve always been a fan of mustard. It’s a fun, bright fall color and I’m so excited to see it coming back strong this fall after a few falls of dark turquoise and burgundy! Here are some of my favorite mustard clothing items for fall!

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7

My mustard obsession this year started with this mustard duster under $40. A quick search for more mustard clothing ended up introducing me to this gorgeous mustard lace top and this satin Henley (a little more yellow than mustard, but still just lovely!).

I love the tie detail of this mustard chiffon top and this mustard suede jacket is PERFECT! More great mustard picks in the widget below and see more of my fall favorites here!

What color are you loving this fall? Let me know in the comments below!
