H&M Colorful Jacket

This is an old outfit from when school was still in session. Lucky for you, if you like this jacket, I've been seeing it around in the H&M clearance section. Apparently there aren't many girls who like to wear insanely colorful jackets to work, let alone pair them with stripes, so there were quite a few left. To all of you out there who fear no color or pattern, go check the clearance rack and score this jacket for an amazing price!

Side note. It was on the day I wore this that I was told by 2 separate incoming Middle school girls that I looked like Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande. Should I be ashamed or proud?

Stormy Weather

This top (on sale now for just $15) is actually from the swim section of Old Navy, but I think it makes for a perfectly acceptable shirt. And if your as tall as me it is nothing else but a shirt. Because even if Old Navy wants to label it as a swim tunic, its no tunic on me.

The Joe's Jean shorts were a last day of school find from Nordstrom Rack. I was so excited for school to be over and freedom from my pencil skirts that i bought these destroyed jean shorts. Turns out they have been the best buy of the summer! They are comfy, easy, match with everything and most importantly, they represent summer in a nutshell for this teacher on break!

Cobalt Flare

Seeing these pictures from when school was still in session made me think just where is this dress now? I haven't seen it in awhile which lead me to realizing it, and I'm guessing many other items, are still at the dry cleaner. My summer wardrobe requires pretty much zero dry cleaning. And since I don't really drive during the summer I guess I won't be seeing this dress for some time. Too bad, I think it would be great for the upcoming wedding we are attending this weekend. 

These flats I saw on a shop girl at Anthropologie and had to know where they were from. Surprisingly enough they were from Amazon for around $20. Naturally, flats are the easiest option when running around my classroom so these were a great buy that will get a lot of wear when school is back in session.

You've also seen this necklace this week on this post, but did you know it's less than ten bucks? That's right! Click here to get your own.

Have a lovely weekend and thanks for stopping by.

Ann Taylor Flounce Dress

Sometimes all you need is a good green wall (in this case a fence) and a light jacket to make a summer morning look classy. This super simple drop waist flounce dress from the Ann Taylor sale is easy to throw on and even looks good with my Shoemint Ashton sneakers! Perfect casual outfit if I do say so myself!

By the way, Ann Taylor has done it again. Their sale selection is 60% off right now. I do love when they have a sale. It almost makes me wish I had to get dressed for work again...maybe not.

Dress: Ann Taylor // Shoes: Shoemint "Ashton" (super similar for $15 here)// Jacket: H&M (old but similar style here) // Necklace: H&M // Sunglasses: Target

Brooklyn Brights

This is an outfit from a few weeks back when I was in NYC. This is from our day of bumming around Brooklyn. We were staying in Greenpoint and walked to Williamsburg to explore. I didn't get the memo that I wasn't supposed to dress like a J. Crew add to fit in, so I kind of felt out of place. This lady isn't as cool as the kids of Williamsburg. 

Thanks Brooklyn for making me feel like an old lady, I still love you anyway.
