Embroidered Dress

 Look 1: Dress // Similar Cognac Cross Body // Espadrilles, more espadrille options here  

Look 2: Dress // Cardigan // Similar Bag // Booties, more open toe bootie options here 

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! I did a whole lot of nothing this weekend, which was pretty wonderful. Sometimes there is nothing more relaxing than spending the day in your comfy clothes, catching up on your favorite shows! The weather also changed drastically over the weekend, going from 80 degrees one day to 60 the next. It's supposed to be in the 60's all week so I am excited to pull out my boots and sweaters! 

This dress is perfect for fall! I love the embroidered detailing and that it has long sleeves. I've been wearing it all summer with my favorite espadrilles, but plan on wearing it to work this week with a cozy cardigan and booties! It's the perfect dress for the classroom! 

The Most Versatile Dress

Today's post is in collaboration with Nordstrom. All opinions are my own!

 Look 1: Dress (comes in 7 colors!) // Striped Scarf // Olive Loafers // Karen Walker Sunnies // Similar Bag 

Look 2: Dress // Denim Jacket // Sneakers // Bag // Sunnies 

Now that a new school year is in full swing and fall is just around the corner, I've been looking for easy to layer pieces that I can take from work to the weekend. Nordstrom is always my first stop when shopping for their daily new arrivals and wide variety of options. I also love their varying price points, making it easy for any one to find something they love! 

The moment I saw this dress, I snatched it up in a few colors, knowing it was the perfect piece to take me from work to the weekend. At under $50, this easy shift dress is great for dressing up or down and layering as the weather changes. It's comfortable and easy to throw on for a day in the classroom. As the weather changes, I plan on layering it with lightweight scarves and cardigans and loafers and booties. I love the ease of this dress...who doesn't love effortless outfits on long workdays? 

Add a denim jacket and some sneakers to this cutie and you are ready for the weekend! It makes for the perfect combo for running errands or even a day date!

Classroom Style: Cargo Joggers

 Cargo Joggers (Come in 2 colors - $20!!!) // Top (4 colors - $24!) // Mules // Similar Bags Here and Here (this one is only $19!)

Anybody else LOVING this 3 day weekend? I think every weekend should be 3 days. I feel much more relaxed and ready to take on the week! The other great thing about this long weekend? All of the amazing sales!! 

I am so excited to share another one of my teacher looks with you today, but especially because most of the pieces are part of some huge Labor Day sales happening now. You can get this top and bottom combo for UNDER $50!! 

This top is one of my current closet faves and I might order it in another color because the sale price is too good!! I wore this top to work last week tucked into a denim mini. It's such a fun piece and I love the statement sleeves! 

These cargo joggers are perfect for work. They come in 2 colors and are currently on sale for just $20!! I found them to run a little big...I'm wearing the smallest size available and still found them a bit oversized! I ended up rolling up the bottoms (short girl probs) and love the jogger look it created. These will definitely be one of my staples for classroom wear this year and it doesn't hurt that they are SUPER comfortable!! 

With all of the sales happening now, I've done a little shopping for a few new items to add to my work wardrobe. Check out my faves below!

Classroom Style: The Perfect Back to School Dress

Floral Dress // Mules // Similar Tote

Today is the first day of school! I can't believe this is my 4th year of teaching 1st grade! I also can't believe that summer vacation is officially over...where does the time go? 

My goal for this year is to share more of my work looks with you. My plan is to share at least 1 look every two weeks under the title Classroom Style. 

Today's look is my first day of school outfit. One thing I love about teaching is that I get to go back to school shopping every year. Growing up I looked forward to BTS shopping everyyyy year. I loved picking out my first day of school outfit and surprise, surprise, still do! I love stocking up on easy dresses for this time of year, when it's still too hot to wear pants. The moment I saw this one, I knew it would be the perfect 1st day dress. I love the floral print, flowy sleeves and ruffle hem! 

I bought these mules during the Nordstrom Sale after I wore my first pair to work all spring! These are the BEST shoes for the classroom as they are so comfortable and go with everything! I'm still undecided if I will wear these today or opt for a pair of espadrille sandals...there isn't much time left to wear sandals!
