Ribbed Lace-Up Crop Sweater
I’ve been on summer break for exactly a week today and I’m already starting to lose track of the days. I pretty much have been keeping track of what day it is based on what my plans are because I’ve had my days pretty planned out for last week and this week. It’s the Type A in me. Okay, so today is Tuesday and I’m talking about this ribbed lace-up crop sweater I got from Express last year. This sweater is tricky in terms of figuring out when to wear it. Let me explain. Back in the winter, I was thinking in my head of what to wear and I thought…

Pink Floral OTS
If you’re getting tired of me talking about off-the-shoulder tops then you’re out of luck because I won’t be stopping anytime soon! I’m back today with this pink floral OTS top. I love how breezy it is and the sweet floral print is perfect against the light pink. This was the perfect top to wear with jeans for a cool day with on/off rain during a recent bbq. Top: Abercrombie & Fitch | Jeans: Kohl’s | Flip Flops: Old Navy The white floral print against the soft pink is perfect for a more low-key summer look as opposed to the bright, vibrant colors we often associate with the season. I…

Front & Back Pleated Top
Pleats are a style detail I love. Pleated skirts, pleated dresses, peplums with pleated details – such a classic look. So when I saw this short sleeve blouse had pleats in the front and the back I knew it would be a great top for work. Top: Banana Republic Factory | Watch: Anne Klein The pleats in the front are thinner and closer together which reminds me of a tuxedo shirt. The pleats in the back are wider set. I think the pleats are really fun and I like the contrast between the width in the front and back. The dark green top with the black & white floral print set…

Dark Floral + Lace Sleeves
Okay, I know I share a lot of dresses on here and I pretty much always say I love the dress, but I really love the dress I’m sharing today. It just might be my current favorite dress in my closet. Earlier in the spring I was at the mall and had no plans to stop inside New York & Company but as I walked by a dress caught my eye in the window. It wasn’t this particular dress, but since my attention was grabbed I then saw all the 50% off signs so I had to go in of course! I picked up a few items like the Love Lace-Up top…

Sage Floral + Stripes
Today is my first day of my summer break and it doesn’t feel like it. In fact, aside from the fact that my classroom was in disarray yesterday and the kids were kinda crazy it didn’t feel like the end of a year. This could also be due to the fact that I feel like I’m in a weird head space lately so maybe the break and decompressing is just in time. For today’s post I’m sharing a really cute tee I got from one of my favorite online boutiques Avenue Be. It’s a floral and striped tee in sage. The front has a pretty floral design with a white…

Check Republic: Gingham Dress
Check Republic: Gingham Dress by lifeaccordingtojamie featuring Lilly Pulitzer Gingham is the quintessential summer pattern. Sure, it reminds me of a picnic tablecloth, but it’s just so cute! For the gingham challenge on Polyvore, I chose this navy dress with a criss cross back because I think the open back is so pretty for summer. For a little bit of fun summer bling, I chose this colorful Lily Pulitzer bracelet with beads and shells. I finished off the look with wedge espadrilles – another summer staple. What do you think of gingham?

OTS Crochet Top + Boho Sandals
Happy Saturday! As I’ve mentioned a few times already this spring, I’m totally into the OTS or off-the-shoulder trend this year so I’m back with another OTS top today and it won’t be the last this season. I got this white OTS top with crochet detailing at the top back in the fall on sale because it was out of season. When I got it, I didn’t realize how sheer it is, but I just wore a white lace bandeau bra under and that was fine for me. To finish off the look I wore jeans and my new sandals, which I’m in love with! Top: American Eagle | Jeans:…

Apple Print + Lace
With 4 school days left to work it’s only fitting that I share this peasant top today featuring lace, bell sleeves, and apple print. I wonder how the whole apple for a teacher thing got started. Anyone know? I actually did get an apple from a student once a few years ago. My student said he always wanted to give a teacher an apple and wanted to do it before he graduated (he was a senior). This top was part of the LC Lauren Conrad – Snow White Collection. Obviously, I wasn’t going to buy anything that looked too Disney-ish or Snow White-y to wear to work, but this top…

Tropical Multi-Hued Pendant
Months ago I saw that Swarovski had come out with a collection of pieces that had a fun tropical look. Blue/green gems with crystals that resembled palm trees and palm leafs. All the pieces looked beautiful but I was immediately drawn to a large multi-hued pendant on a long chain called the “Gisele Necklace”. It was pricy so I didn’t buy it right away, but knew I wanted to get it sooner rather than later as collections tend to sell out quickly at Swarovski. I waited a few weeks, biding my time and saving my pennies (it was going to take a whole lot of pennies for this necklace) and…

Autumn Lilac Willow Peplum
How was your weekend? I have 6 school days left to work! Today I’m sharing this look I wore to work a few weeks ago. I love peplum tops because they’re so fun and I think they can suit any body type. This peplum top has a wispy willow print and the shade is “autumn lilac”. I know autumn is in the name but it really is the perfect spring shade. Top: LOFT | Pants: LOFT | Watch: Caravelle by Bulova The fluttery capped sleeves are a nice detail to this top and it adds to the whole wispy feel of the look. I wore this to work on a…
