Teacher Outfit Inspiration: Over the Knee Boots and Tunic

Oversized Gold Watch with Kendra Scott Rayne Necklace

Affordable Over the Knee Boots with Gray Floppy Felt Hat

Teacher Work Outfit with White Skinnies and Tunic

Ever since Over the Knee boots started appearing all over in the fall I knew I had to find a pair. But, since my teacher’s salary just doesn’t support the Stuart Weitzman pair, I searched high and low for an affordable pair of OTK boots and ended up finding the perfect pair at Forever21! I chose grey because it goes with so many color combinations and doesn’t make as stark of a contrast against white or blue skinny jeans as would black OTK boots.

I just love the way they look against a pair of white skinny jeans, and that is the most common way I wear these, though they could also be paired with a shorter dress or skirt or black leggings. I know these are already sold out but since I featured them in a post this fall, I wanted to make sure I showed one or two ways to wear them. Don’t think that just because I featured them in the fall that they will disappear for the Spring – the gray color is already starting to show up in Spring lookbooks so I expect I will be back with another outfit featuring these later. That being said, this is the perfect time to buy some of the fall pairs on sale, now making them affordable over the knee boots!

Below I have linked a rundown of OTK boots at different price points.

Last Minute Gift Ideas under $10, $25 and $50

Last Minute Christmas Holiday Gifts for Her

I’ve been tracking gift ideas for awhile now to put together a gift guide for the blog. And then, as Christmas drew closer and closer I realized, it might be a good idea to focus on gifts you don’t have to ship! I currently have two Amazon orders whose shipping is “delayed.” So, if you are looking to do some last minute shopping and don’t want to risk them not getting here for Christmas, here are some options at various price points. Most of these items I have seen myself, in-store, in the Seattle area. The links will take you to a store where you can find the item though they may not be in stock in every store.

Stocking Stuffers

1 or 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 or 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 or 9

The Covergirl Supersizer Mascara is such a GREAT mascara. It has one side that applies the product and the other that combs it out so that each lash is seperated. I highly recommend this product, along with the L’Oreal Double Extend Mascara. I only use the “white” side of the mascara but it coats the lashes and makes them look longer. Then I add the Covergirl Supersizer and my lashes look full and long.

I have 3 or 4 different shades of the Revlon Colorburst because they give good, long-lasting (for a lip balm) color and feel moisturizing. The NYX Jumbo Eye pencils can be worn on their own or layered under other eye shadows and they come in 34 colors! New makeup products are always a fun thing to find in your stocking and brushes like those featured above are both fun and practical. Sonia Kashuk is a Target brand and ELF products can be found at Ulta or Target.

Under 50

1 (similar)// 2 (similar) // 3 // 4 (similar) // 5 (similar) // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 (similar) // 10 // 11 (similar) // 12 (similar)

I only have two of these items to comment on (though really, who wouldn’t love a fun new bag for Christmas!?). I got this Threshold Faux Fur Throw (similar here) and the Tarte eye shadow palette for my birthday and am obsessed! The throw is beautiful and warm and the Tartelette palette blends out so beautifully. It has a great mix of light and dark matte shadows along with a few shimmery shades. I have been so pleased with it and it is new so it might be just the thing for the makeup lover in your life!

Under 25

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

I love Stila’s liquid lipsticks and have the NYX palette on my own Christmas list! It has 15 shadows, highlight and contour and blush – the perfect kit to take traveling! Though I’ve never tried the Makeup Eraser, it has great reviews! I love having things on my Christmas list that I may not prioritize on my shopping list but would like to try out!

Many of the rest of the items in this category are accessories. I love accessories as gifts because a girl can never have too many! It’s fun to have someone gift you a new scarf or a fun clutch. These slippers look incredible and if you life in the Seattle area like me, a cute umbrella is fun as well as practical!

Last Minute Gift Ideas for her under 10 Christmas Holiday

$10 and Under

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6 // 7 // 8 // 9 // 10

Last but certainly not least, I’m quite pleased with the under $10 selections. Maybe you have a work White Elephant Gift exchange, or you have a bunch of friends and a limited budget – these “under $10 options” are for you! Both the NYX Butter Glosses and the ELF lip set are great samplers for someone new to makeup or who likes to try new colors. They are the perfect size for sticking in your purse! Then, don’t those slippers and socks look just so comfy!? Make a cup of cocoa in that cute Santa mug and enjoy a nice Christmas movie!

And that, my friends, is the end. I hope you enjoy the roundup and that you share with a friend who might be needing some last minute ideas for the women in their life. Most of all, I hope that you can wrap up your shopping soon so that you can slow down and enjoy the warmth, peace and love of the Christmas season. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush, but as important as it is to make sure you’ve gotten your “to do list” done, it is important to spend quality time with the ones you love!

Let me know in the comments if you have questions about any of these products! I feel so blessed to have you join me in this blogging adventure this year and pray that you have a truly wonderful Christmas!

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.

Black Polka Dot Chichwish skirt with a DIY Christmas gift Blanket Scarf

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.
