Floral Midi Skirt | Textured Sweater | Layered Necklace
Beaded Bracelet Set | Ankle Strap Sandal

Happy Tuesday, Friends! For today's Tuesday Treat, I decided to start with this Floral Midi Skirt from LOFT's huge Warehouse Sale! And because I wanted its Dynamic Green color to stand out, I decided to keep everything else in the outfit simple. I paired it with a white Textured Sweater from J. Crew Factory and some neutral Ankle Strap Sandals from Target. Finally throw on a Layered Necklace and some Beaded Bracelets, and you're all set!  

As a side note, remember that not only are these ready-made outfits a great Tuesday Treat for yourself, they are also awesome to share with a loved one in order to make their shopping easier and ensure a gift that you are going to love! Bonus points if they also plan the perfect day to go with it! ​

Striped Tee | Tassel Earrings | Pleated Midi Skirt
Beaded Wrap Bracelet | Dahlin Sandals
It's Tuesday again which means it's time for another head-to-toe treat for under $100! And since I grabbed this gorgeous yellow Pleated Midi Skirt from J. Crew for myself this week, I thought I would build an outfit around it. And since I can never have enough stripes, I started by pairing it with simple navy and white striped tee and then added a pair of pretty white and gold sandals. Throw on some jewelry, and you're all set for date night on the patio!

As a side note, remember that not only are these ready-made outfits a great Tuesday Treat for yourself, they are also awesome to share with a loved one in order to make their shopping easier and ensure a gift that you are going to love! Bonus points if they also plan the perfect day to go with it! ​

Striped Sweater | Crossbody Bag | Twill Skirt 
Bangle Bracelet | Slide Sandals
It's Tuesday, and just like last summer, I'm sharing a head-to-toe look for under $100! Today's Tuesday Treat starts with this Striped Button Sweater from J. Crew Factory that not only works perfectly with a Twill Skirt, but would also be perfect with white jeans for a nautical look or red shorts for the Fourth of July! And while I don't actually own any of the pieces featured here today, I find that J. Crew Factory runs true to size. I would order a medium in the sweater for a looser fit and an 8 in the skirt.

As a side note, remember that not only are these ready-made outfits a great Tuesday Treat for yourself, they are also awesome to share with a loved one in order to make their shopping easier and ensure a gift that you are going to love! Bonus points if they also plan the perfect day to go with it! ​

Alright Teachers! It's Sunday afternoon, and you know what that means. This week's outfits are ready to go! And Week Two includes one of my favorite new pieces! And as always, this wardrobe is built almost entirely from basic pieces that can be found most everywhere. Have fun with it and make it your own!
Jamie Pants | Ruffle Neck Top | Long Necklace | Leopard Pumps (Similar)
Tee Shirt Dress (Similar) | Canvas Slip-Ons | Denim Jacket (Similar)

Week Two brings back my favorite work pants from J. Crew Factory. Since they are honestly the most comfortable pair of pants I own, I suspect that I they are going to become my go-to Monday pants. This week I paired them with this amazing top from J. Crew. I first tried it on while shopping on Michigan Avenue in Chicago but couldn't quite justify its hefty price tag. So I waited somewhat patiently for it to go on sale and then snagged it immediately! I finished everything off with long necklace from Amazon and an old pair of leopard pumps.

Of course after spending Monday in pumps, I'm going to need to give my feet a break on Tuesday. So I'm pairing my polka dot sneakers from Old Navy with an old Lou & Grey tee shirt dress. Throw on my long necklace and a denim jacket, and I'm out the door!
Tippi Sweater (Similar) | Pixie Pants (Similar)
Pull-On Midi Skirt | Crew Neck T-Shirt | Basketweave Flats​​

I'm keeping it casual on Wednesday with an old camel-colored sweater and the red pants that always get a ton of compliments from my colleagues and students alike. And once again I'm adding my long necklace and polka dot sneakers before heading out the door!

And it's more polka dots on Thursday when I pair this fun skirt from J. Crew with a black t-shirt from Banana Republic and a pair of leather flats from J. Crew Factory. This was the outfit I wore to see 'Hamilton' back in June, and I am so excited to wear it again. The skirt is perfect for twirling and the t-shirt is crazy soft with arms that come down long enough to hide the fact that I've skipped the gym for almost a year now. Plus polka dots!

Teddie Sweater | Button Up Shirt |​Acrylic Earrings
Girlfriend Khakis | Canvas Sneakers

We have been back in school for more than two weeks now, and I am finally getting my life back together. With more than 150 new names and faces to learn and a mountain of paperwork to organize, I am exhausted by the end of the day. Teacher-tired is real, y'all, and I might have fallen asleep before 8 o'clock last night. So it's been awhile since I've put together one of these weekly treats, but I was inspired by this fun camouflage sweater from J. Crew Factory. I paired it with the perfect striped button-up (I seriously need this in my closet!) and white khakis from Gap Factory. I have these in two colors, greenway and mustard gold, and love them for school. They have just enough stretch to move with me all day without losing their shape. Plus I get compliments from even my high school kiddos every time I wear them! Mine are a size 8, so I would say they fit true to size.

As a side note, remember that not only are these ready-made outfits a great Treat for yourself, they are also awesome to share with a loved one in order to make their shopping easier and ensure a gift that you are going to love! Bonus points if they also plan the perfect day to go with it! ​

Hey, Teacher Tribe! I know I promised you a Back to School Wardrobe, and after a hectic start to the school year I'm finally ready to deliver! It's designed to provide flexibility so that you can make it your own. You don’t need clothes that look exactly like the ones pictured. Instead, I suggest that you start in your closet and start pulling items that are similar to the ones shown. Once you know what you have, start putting together your shopping list. But don't be afraid to shop thrift and consignment stores as well. This wardrobe is built almost entirely from basic pieces that can be found most everywhere. Have fun with it and make it your own! And then stop back by every Sunday and let me lay out your clothes for the next six weeks. I'll tag and link everything with the heading Back to School Wardrobe so it will be easy to search.
Week One starts with my favorite work pants from J. Crew Factory. I mean...they have an elastic waistband! Mine are a size 8, so I would say they fit true to size. I paired them with this Word Hard Be Nice Tee Shirt from Amazon. Since these are the only two rules in my classroom, I couldn't resist adding it to my closet.

On Tuesday, I'm pairing this fun sweater from LOFT with another elastic waistband from J. Crew Factory! My skirt is a size 6, so I would say to size down if you are in doubt.
By Wednesday I'm definitely ready for sneakers, and I love these polka dot slip-ons from Old Navy! And since I'm obsessed with mustard for Fall, I'm pairing them with these khakis from Gap Outlet and a striped tee. My pants are a size 8, so I would say that they fit true to size.

​Finally, on Thursday I'm pairing this midi dress from Amazon with a denim jacket. This is dress is seriously awesome...and it comes in more than 25 different colors and patterns. Plus it has pockets! Mine is a size medium, so once again I would say that it runs true to size. 

​Shop the Post
Jamie Pants | Work Hard Tee | Denim Jacket (Similar) | Metallics Loafers (Similar)
Striped Midi Skirt | Bicycle Sweater | Becca Ballet Flat (Similar)

It's Tuesday again which means it's time for another head-to-toe treat for under $100! And since we are only two weeks from the start of school here in Kentucky (ALREADY?), I thought I would share a few items from my upcoming Back to School Wardrobe.

I paired it with my new favorite work pants from J. Crew Factory. I mean...they have an elastic waistband! Mine are a size 8, so I would say they fit true to size. Just add these leopard print canvas sneakers and red cardigan from Walmart, and you have the perfect Monday outfit!

Sleeveless Maxi Dress | Statement Earrings | Metal Cuff Bracelet
 Round Straw Bag | Slide Sandals
Happy Tuesday, Ladies! I want to apologize for not getting a Summer Wardrobe post up this week. Mr. Teacher and I spent the holiday in Chicago...I'll share pictures in a day or two...and it seems I came home with a cold. I've spent the last few days in my jammies curled up on the sofa. I don't think I even brushed my hair yesterday. But my medicine is finally kicking in and I wanted to share another head-to-toe treat for under $100. I started with this gorgeous striped maxi dress from Target. Doesn't make you want to pack a picnic lunch and head to the park? With that in mind, I kept it breezy with rattan earrings and a straw bag from Amazon and finished it off with my favorite sandals of the summer. While I don't think I would wear these for a full day of walking, I have worn mine out shopping and to dinner. They fit true to size

As a side note, remember that not only are these ready-made outfits a great 
Tuesday Treat for yourself, they are also awesome to share with a loved one in order to make their shopping easier and ensure a gift that you are going to love! Bonus points if they also plan the perfect day to go with it! ​

Happy Tuesday, Friends! With the holiday just around the corner, there are a ton of amazing sales right now! But for today's Tuesday Treat, I decided to go with one more red, white, and blue look. And while some of my other looks have been a bit dressy, this one is perfect for a backyard cookout. It starts with these adorable anchor embroidered shorts from LOFT. I topped those off with a white Crew Neck Tank from Target...and just let me say that I love these! I have them in three different colors, and I have been wearing them everywhere this summer! I did size up to a medium so I could tie them off in the front. Finally, just add a pair of red sneakers, and you are ready for hot dogs, potato salad, and ice cream. Oh...and fireworks, of course!

As a side note, remember that not only are these ready-made outfits a great Tuesday Treat for yourself, they are also awesome to share with a loved one in order to make their shopping easier and ensure a gift that you are going to love! Bonus points if they also plan the perfect day to go with it! ​
