My, my, what a busy few weeks it has been! Between school, church and a weekend getaway to Victoria (more about that next week!), things have been pretty crazy around here! When the sun was out last week I had to seize the day and take pictures, even if my husband couldn’t help me with them!
Today’s outfit was an experiment. I had seen some bloggers wearing white on white and some other bloggers wearing suede boots with white skinnies as a way to transition into the fall. It felt a little too white for me, so I added one of my fall favorites, a comfy Aztec Cardigan. I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out. For me, it’s the perfect transitional outfit into fall – it pops against the beautiful oranges and reds of fall.

This statement necklace is so versatile. When I was in school, this is how I wore it for work. I bought it because of all the different ways I saw bloggers wear it in the fall. I saw bloggers wearing it with blue polka dot blouses, burgundy sweater dresses and white collared shirts. If you choose one statement necklace to get for your wardrobe, this is the one. It seriously goes with everything.

Since it’s summer, I’ve paired it with two items you’ve seen me wear before (and that have been on repeat in my summer wardrobe) – my Charlotte Russe Espadrille Wedges and my LOFT white skinny jeans (see here for the story of my desperate search for white skinnies!). A big thanks to the weather for giving us a break from the heat so I could shoot some pictures without melting!

In other news…I LOVE the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. This is my first year paying attention to the deals and I’ve been excited to get back-to-school shopping (I know! Despite what the stores are saying, it’s not quite time for school YET!) started a little early to take advantage of prices while they are good. The sale is open to non-cardholders Thursday and ends August 3rd. Next week’s post will feature some of the items I’ve purchased but you can get a head start by following along on my Instagram!

Top: TJ Maxx. Similar here or here. Lighter and longer version here.
Jeans: LOFT, sold out. Similar here or here (on sale now!).
Shoes: Charlotte Russe, here.
Necklace: Baublebar, here or here (I almost always wait for a sale). Also a cheaper version (25% off with SHINE25). (or search ebay!)
Bracelets: Charming Charlie. Pave from Boutique. The real deal here, cheaper here, cheapest here.
Watch: Charming Charlie, sold out.
Ring: Charlotte Russe set. Would not recommend. Only worn a few times and gold already gone.
Lip: Mac, Candy Yum Yum here.

Thanks so much for reading!

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?
