Casual Flannel

Nordstrom legging jeans // Steve Madden Boots (old but similar here) // Old Navy flannel // Forever 21 Cardigan (love this one for just $15.80) // Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote  // NYX Butter lipstick

We are right around the time of the school year where I'm willing to do anything to make it more tolerable just so I can make it to Christmas break. I pretty much have been wearing nothing that isn't comfortable and warm to get me through to this Friday. These Old Navy flannels I picked up have been on repeat with skirts, jeans and jeggings. They offer comfort and color which is a must-have in my wardrobe.

Wish me luck. Only 3 more school days till break!!

Blue Floral

Forever 21 Sweater (similar) // Boohoo midi skirt // Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote // Banana Republic silver heels // Loft Necklace (similar from Loft)

Oh boy, has life been crazy lately! Forgive me for the lack of posting but with all the home renovations and family stuff that has come up, I've been kinda MIA. Slap this cold weather on top of that and you have even more reason for not wanting to take pictures. I promise, I'll be back in full effect soon. Just one more work week of teaching till Christmas break! Hooray! 

Fringe Cardigan

Forever 21 sweater // H&M dress (old) // Nine west boots (super old but cute ones here) // Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag // eBay tassel necklace (under $5 and free shipping) // sunglasses borrowed from my husband :) // Michael Kors "Bradshaw" watch

This is what I wore to school and then after to our Anniversary dinner. My husband said he wanted to take pictures back at the place we took some of our favorite wedding pictures. So romantic sometimes that guy!

This sweater has some great movement to it and made for some dramatic walks down the school hallway as well as lake side windy posing. If you would like to feel infinitely cooler when you walk, pick up this Forever 21 sweater. You wont be sorry.

LOFT Flippy Skirt and Other Favorites

LOFT flippy skirt // Zara blouse (similar from Shopbop and this Banana Republic one) and Jacket (both from last year) // LOFT bib necklace // Rebecca Minkoff MAB tote // Forever 21 Sunglasses // C-label Hudson shoes

This little LOFT tweed flippy skirt is becoming a fall favorite, fast! It's bordering on the almost inappropriate line of shortness with my tall frame so I classed it up with a blouse and jacket. Whenever I want to get away with wearing one of my shorter skirts to work this is always the way I solve it. Keeping the top half completely covered up with nothing too tight makes the look balance out. And if you just cant deal with a shortish hemline then this skirt is perfection. both have an insanely comfortable flat yet slightly elastic waist band too. What could be better then comfort mixed with great style?

Can we also take a moment to talk about this statement necklace, also from LOFT . It has a feather-like appearance and I'm pretty sure every one of my students wanted to touch it. Just the look of it alone is a tactile sensation. 

Since I have a mild obsession with outerwear,  I also fell a little bit in love with a few more LOFT beauties while in store. This coat that gives you an instant Olivia Pope boost, this fuzzy little moto jacket can be an indoor/outdoor staple, an this coatigan (yup, it's called a coatigan, a mix of a coat and cardigan) is a must. I'm also currently stalking this super soft gray moto jacket.

Head on over to Loft and stock up now. There is a flash sale going on right now with 60% off select items for a limited time only!

MAB, Stripes & Leopard

Joe Fresh Dress (love this cute Splendid one) // Target Jacket // Rebecca Minkoff MAB bag // Urban Outfitters Fedora // Express Belt (old but similar here) // Michael Kors "Runway" watch // Jouer "Ava" Lipstick

I am head over heels in love with this MAB of mine. What's that you ask? Well its a buttery soft leather tote brought to you by the amazing Rebecca Minkoff. After much deliberation (you may remember this post) I finally decided that based on bags I previously owned and my all-around smittenness (that's a word) that this MAB tote would be the best choice for me. My favorite part is that the closet I keep my coat and bag in at work smells like fine leather whenever I open the door. Heaven! Highly recommend you get your own.
