School Days - Back to School

 Floral Peplum // White Skinnies // Flatform Espadrilles, similar here  // Tote // 3 Disc Necklace // Christian Paul Watch

Yesterday was the first day of school for the 2016-2017 school year! 

I had a great day getting to know my kiddos. I have the sweetest group of first graders and I am so excited to spend the year with them! 

This is what I wore for the first day! I didn't think about the fact that wearing white jeans and 22 little firsties might not be the best combo, but I am happy to report my white jeans survived the day! 

This top is one of my favorite recent purchases! I love the floral print and the sweet peplum hem. It's one of those perfect transition pieces that can be worn now, and in the colder months with a sweater, black pants and boots!

My Teacher Proof Nsale Picks & a Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway!

Growing up, the start of school meant a lot of things, but most importantly, back to school shopping. I was a total freak about this time of year. I looked forward to it ALL year long, and started listing the things I needed to buy in June, just as school got out for the summer. I saved all summer long, adding to the budget my parents allocated to me and as the days got closer, I got increasingly more excited. I remember laying in bed the night before, like a kid on Christmas Eve, giddy and unable to sleep. Please tell me I am not the only fashionista out there who remembers feeling this way at 8 years old?!?

As a teacher, I am happy to say that I still indulge in a little back to school shopping. Teacher's have to look fresh on the first day too!! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale was the perfect opportunity to stock up on new fall pieces. I picked up a few goodies that will be easy to mix and match into my wardrobe this fall and winter!

I love dresses because they are so easy to wear! I picked up multiple options because they are so easy to layer with leggings and sweaters in the frigid winter months! I bought a few different pairs of shoes, including some waterproof boots that are cute AND practical. Last but not least, a good school tote is a must. I lug a lot of papers and my work computer from home to school and need a sturdy, roomy bag that is also cute so I can take it from work to date night!

There aren't many days left to shop the Nordstrom Sale! Time is running out! Don't forget to also enter the Nordstrom Gift Card Giveaway for $1320! Just enter the widget below the collage! Good luck!

Monday is here again.... 

Does anybody else feel like the weekend passes way top quickly?? And speaking of things passing quickly, can you believe that it's already November??! I'm blown away that we will be celebrating Thanksgiving in a few short weeks! 

Today I am sharing one of my favorite work looks. I have worn this dress countless times and love how versatile it is! I wore it frequently this summer with wedges or converse, but it has transitioned so perfectly for fall with the addition of a chunky sweater and riding boots. For a chillier fall day, I might even throw on a pair of leggings or tights and a scarf. 

My favorite part of this outfit?? This gorgeous Taudrey necklace! I got to design this piece with the Taudrey squad and could not be more pleased with how they turned my vision into reality! I have been wearing this necklace non-stop as it is the perfect layered piece. It literally goes with anything and everything! These pictures really don't do it justice, so head over to Taudrey to get a better look at it!!
