<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hey there, fashionistas! Long time, no see! My district had a snow day today, so I had the most glorious day at home! I may have done a <strike>little</strike> lot of online shopping from my couch, so it'd probably be in my bank account's best interest to find a new hobby for any future days off.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I am absolutely loving Loft's new arrivals for spring! I was in need of a new pair of jeans, and I loved the wash of <a href="http://www.loft.com/tall-modern-sateen-skinny-jeans-in-mid-stone-wash/400113?skuId=20361235&defaultColor=4484&colorExplode=false&catid=cat860014&_requestid=129577">this pair</a>. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><a href="http://www.loft.com/queen-paisley-drawstring-skirt/394870?skuId=20274313&defaultColor=3137&colorExplode=false&catid=catl000017&_requestid=129802">This paisley skirt</a> is an online exclusive, although there is a dress in this same print in stores that is also very cute! I think this skirt is adorable with the classic gray sweater on the model, and would be darling with a chambray button-down, too! I ordered a regular in the skirt since I'd like it to fit a little shorter, although it does come in tall and petite also.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Isn't <a href="http://www.loft.com/tall-cropped-skinny-chinos-in-marisa-fit/396720?skuId=20364182&defaultColor=3424&colorExplode=false&catid=cat230024&_requestid=130100">this pair</a> of skinny chinos so fun?! They also come in a "teal glow" and "soft seafoam" color. I think the "red raspberry" color would pair perfectly with navy stripes for a nautical spring look.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I also added <a href="http://www.loft.com/blossom-riviera-shorts-with-622-inseam/394582?skuId=20362188&defaultColor=4899&colorExplode=false&catid=catl000014&_requestid=130785">this pair</a> of blossom Riviera shorts to my shopping bag for a Spring Break trip to Orlando. The 6" inseam and classic style are flattering on almost everyone! I'll probably pair them with a chambray top or denim jacket like the photo.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I worked at Loft on Sunday, and <a href="http://www.loft.com/floral-tile-sleeveless-top/397656?skuId=20307080&defaultColor=5384&colorExplode=false&catid=catl000011&_requestid=132930">this floral sleeveless top</a> immediately caught my eye. By the end of my shift, we'd almost sold out and were completely out of my size. All sizes are still available online, but if you're loving it for spring, I wouldn't wait too long! I think it would be darling tucked into a pair of high-waisted flare jeans for spring or a pair of navy shorts for summer.</span></span></div>

It can be worn now with black tights and boots, or later on with a pair of flats or sandals. I love finding cute dresses in "talls" online, since the regular length is typically too short on me. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I think October has to be my new favorite month to dress for. The weather is still warm enough to not have to bundle up, but cool enough to start wearing some of my favorite fall staples like my boots, tunics and vests without looking completely ridiculous. I wanted to share some of my favorite October looks with you for some style inspiration, as well as links to some of the items that are still available in stores. Happy shopping!</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We had Parent-Teacher conferences last week in my district, so teachers had Friday off as a comp day. The 3-day weekend was utterly fantastic, and I feel so accomplished and refreshed, ready to take on next week. I'd vote for a 3-day weekend EVERY week...wouldn't we all be so much happier and productive? :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">The weekend was full of fun fall activities like pumpkin patching (that's a verb, right?) and Husker football watching (We finally won for once!), but perhaps the BEST thing about this weekend was that the cooler temps allowed me to wear some of my new fall clothes! I also picked up <strike>one or two</strike> quite a few new items for fall while I was out and about on Friday and Saturday.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I picked up my sister from college in Lincoln on Friday morning, and we made a stop at the Gretna outlets on our way back to Omaha. I loved the length of <a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/SwimCoverups/BeachCoverUps/PRD~C9354/C9354.jsp?Nbrd=F&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=tunic&isSaleItem=false&color_name=BLUE&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row8">this chambray tunic</a> (perfect with leggings), and we both really liked this <a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/shirts_tops/flannel/PRD~30519/30519.jsp?Nbrd=F&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=flannel&isSaleItem=false&color_name=RED%20GREY%20PLAID&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row5">red plaid flannel shirt</a> for Husker games to wear underneath our <a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/activewear/tops/PRD~92465/92465.jsp?Nbrd=F&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=black+quilted+vest&isSaleItem=false&color_name=BLACK&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row0">black</a> or <a href="https://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/blazers_outerwear/vests/PRDOVR~02533/02533.jsp">herringbone</a> quilted vests (we happen to have a lot of matching clothes). </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I had REALLY good luck at Loft on Saturday! This Lou & Grey tunic is super comfortable and can be easily dressed up for work with a pair of black or printed leggings and boots. I couldn't find this color online, but find the striped version <a href="http://www.loft.com/lou-&-grey-striped-signaturesoft-cowl-tunic/387019?skuId=19809335&defaultColor=9451&colorExplode=false&catid=cat1880002">here</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I had to snatch the polka dot blouse right away, since I was kicking myself for not buying the similar version last year. I love the Kate Spade-esque look to it, and can't wait to pair it with my hot pink cardigan or red skinny pants for school! This color is unavailable online, but find the plush cream color <a href="http://www.loft.com/polka-dot-split-neck-tunic/387187?skuId=19743400&defaultColor=3918&colorExplode=false&catid=catl000011&_requestid=924109">here</a>.</span></div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hey there, fashionistas! Are you as ready for the weekend as I am?! I just love this time of year! Football, lattes, leaves starting to fall, pumpkin everything... </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We celebrated Grandparents' Day at my school this week. A little later than the actual holiday, but it was fun to still honor the kiddos' grandparents and/or special guests. It's always tough for me to come up with something special to do because we only have limited time in the classroom (20 minutes) and I want to impress the grandparents! I always start by having the students stand up, say their name and introduce their guest(s). I give them a heads up ahead of time, but still always have one or two that realize they don't know they're grandma or grandpa's real name once they stand up to introduce them. "Um, this is Nana and Papa...(whisper) Wait, what's your real name?" Haha :) This leaves us with about 15 minutes for an activity, cookies and juice. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> This year, I left a Venn Diagram at everyone's seat to complete with their guest as everyone trickled in. They came up with the best ideas, and it lead to a great discussion, generation to generation! Find a free copy of this in my TPT store <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Grandparents-Day-Venn-Diagram-2112462">here</a>.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-snatX-q0mV4/VgSRFMdWCrI/AAAAAAAACUY/9RODWmGGvpo/s1600/GrandparentsDayVennDiagram-page-001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="494" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-snatX-q0mV4/VgSRFMdWCrI/AAAAAAAACUY/9RODWmGGvpo/s640/GrandparentsDayVennDiagram-page-001.jpg" width="640" /></a></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Next, I had the students and guests complete an apply glyph activity together with the remaining time. This is an activity that could easily be used outside of Grandparents Day, too! I thought it might be fun to complete with our 1st grade buddies in the future. I created my own apply glyph directions (find a copy here), but used the apple template from <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Apple-Glyph-Back-to-School-or-Anytime-Use-822173">this product</a>. I was super thrilled with how they turned out! </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Okay, guys. I'm seriously stepping out of my comfort zone with this outfit today. Let's rephrase that and say "running leap" out of my comfort zone. I've always thought joggers were ridiculously cute (on other people), but just could never pull them off myself! Just look at these stylish ladies on Pinterest!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z998tR_KFeE/VgNI11UWjEI/AAAAAAAACT0/mfrBmNpy5uw/s1600/IMG_5234.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-z998tR_KFeE/VgNI11UWjEI/AAAAAAAACT0/mfrBmNpy5uw/s640/IMG_5234.JPG" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"> Up until today, I've never actually worn a pair of my own. I've tried plenty on, but they haven't ever fit me quite right because of my long legs. Then, I went into Loft a couple of weeks ago (where I've taken a little break from working this fall), and the fabulous ladies encouraged me to try on <a href="http://www.loft.com/drapey-tweed-joggers/386036?skuId=19490748&defaultColor=&colorExplode=false&catid=">this pair</a> of charcoal joggers. Since they're made of a tweed fabric, I knew they'd be a little dressier for work. I paired them with a simple, look fitting V-neck tee and my burnt orange Loft cardigan from last fall. The joggers were super comfy, but didn't appear too casual for work since I tried to incorporate some dressier pieces into my outfit.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iZQ1quC71-w/VgNI14RtQoI/AAAAAAAACT4/I1mJ2iWGS3g/s1600/IMG_5229.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iZQ1quC71-w/VgNI14RtQoI/AAAAAAAACT4/I1mJ2iWGS3g/s400/IMG_5229.JPG" width="300" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here are my top 4 (amateur) tips for pulling off this look for work:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">1. A slouchy tee or a chambray button-down look great with joggers! Just remember accessorizing is key for work! You don't want to look like your headed to the gym! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">2. A summery wedge or fall bootie with a heel will really dress up your look, and are both really cute with joggers!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. For a more structured look on top, try a blazer or leather jacket to give your outfit a high-low effect. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">3. If you're still not quite sure how to style your joggers, go for a mono-chromatic look. Black joggers paired with a black heel, black jacket or long cardigan and a dark gray tee is a really classy look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Ready to try this trend? You can find Loft's entire selection of joggers <a href="http://www.loft.com/search/searchResults.jsp?question=joggers&x=0&y=0">here</a>. I'd love to see how you style yours! Just tag @thefashionistateacher on Instagram. Happy "jogger-ing!"</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hey guys! It's me, your long-lost blogger friend! I swear I think about posting on this little blog at least weekly, but then life just gets in the way! Now that the beginning of the school year craziness is starting to wind down, I'm hoping to be back to posting more on the regular. You are all such awesome supporters and I so appreciate your sweet comments! Thanks for sticking with me :-)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I figured I better give you a little update on my life lately since it's been so darn long, so here goes:</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Logan and I had a GREAT summer and traveled a ton! We spent a week with his family in Estes Park in June, celebrated the 4th with my family in Okoboji, visited his brother in Dallas at the end of July, and flew to California for Labor Day weekend to visit friends. Next up, we're headed to Minneapolis for Logan to run the Twin Cities marathon, and then I'm ready to chill at home for quite awhile! All this traveling has been super fun, but I'm perfectly fine with being a homebody for the next few months!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJxJdnmktGU/Vf9azhkrGwI/AAAAAAAACTA/XbcVvnMVCZQ/s1600/IMG_5201.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-rJxJdnmktGU/Vf9azhkrGwI/AAAAAAAACTA/XbcVvnMVCZQ/s640/IMG_5201.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">We also finished our basement this last winter/spring, so we've been really trying to enjoy it this summer! I'm hoping to post some more photos for you here soon! We installed a projector instead of a T.V. and so far it's been great for football games this fall (and it's perfect for Bachelorette / Dancing with the Stars viewing parties, too!) </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R0LCXqi_OXA/Vf9azE-Ng3I/AAAAAAAACTI/KMY8wIEs_R0/s1600/IMG_4653.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-R0LCXqi_OXA/Vf9azE-Ng3I/AAAAAAAACTI/KMY8wIEs_R0/s640/IMG_4653.JPG" width="640" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">I'm trying really hard to stay on a shopping budget with all of the basement and traveling expenses from this summer, but I feel like I'm really analyzing my purchases more than I did before, and getting more use out of my existing wardrobe. I'm not working at Loft this fall, and that has actually helped me spend a little less, but I miss the interactions with my fun co-workers and clients, and the discount too :)</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">My school year is off to a great start! I have a sweet group of 19 kiddos, which seems like a really small group compared to 26 from last year! My team is brand-new to each other, but things seem to be going really well! I've kept my owl theme, but moved classrooms, so I'm hoping to have some photos to show you in the next month or so.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Well, hello darlings! I am sooooo looking forward to Sunday because that is the day 'Lily for Target' finally launches! I just love the bright prints and hues Lily Pulitzer is known for, and this collection is no exception, plus the affordable Target prices are a HUGE plus! Today I'm sharing some of my top picks from the Lily 'Look Book,' currently online. Happy shopping, fas<span style="font-size: large;">hionistas!</span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Does anyone else get SUPER excited when all of the new arrivals for spring start to hit stores? Maybe it's because winter is just SO. DARN. LONG. in Nebraska, or possibly because I miss all of the bright hues during the cold-weather months. Here are the items currently topping my "wish list" for spring.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5LNWSGnYgyg/VMr0fvVxarI/AAAAAAAACOk/HdT9z57RwVc/s1600/liebster-award-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-5LNWSGnYgyg/VMr0fvVxarI/AAAAAAAACOk/HdT9z57RwVc/s1600/liebster-award-2.jpg" height="298" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Thrilled. Elated. On top of the moon. Ecstatic. Joyful....you get the point! Just attempting to describe how I feel about receiving a nomination for the Liebster Award from the fabulous Megan of the <a href="http://beingmrsfowler.com/blog/">'Being Mrs. Fowler' blog</a>. Technically, I've been nominated before, so I'm not sure if I'm eligible again, but I'm obviously too excited to say no! Plus, I know it's always fun for me to get to know the ladies behind the blogs I read, so I wanted to share more about me with you! Here are the questions she sent:</span></span><br />
</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>1. What is your Holy Grail product?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm not really a product or make-up junkie, but some of my faves would have to be my Redken ColorExtend shampoo and conditioner, drugstore Jergens natural glow moisturizer, and Cover Girl "lash blast" mascara. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>2. What can always be found in your handbag?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My husband is an accountant and saves EVERY receipt, so I usually have a wad of them floating around in my purse to give to him. I also usually have a bottle of water and granola bar in my purse since I'm always 'on-the-go.'</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>3. What is your favorite designer and why?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Definitely Kate Spade. The classic, fun prints and colors are the perfect match for my girly style.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>4. Why did you decide to start blogging?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Two of my biggest passions are teaching and fashion. I love my teaching job and feel like I'm living out my dream daily, but wanted to find a way to live out my "passion for fashion," too. I also really enjoy writing, and a blog seemed like the perfect way to express myself!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>5. What is your absolute favorite food?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Oh my goodness, I love to eat anything and everything. There are only about 3 foods I've ever found that I don't like. I think I'd have to go with cheese as my favorite, though. I love cheese dip, cheese and wine, cheesecake, the list goes on and on. And this is why I have to find time to work-out. :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>6. If you could do anything in the world what would you want to be?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I'm already doing it! I've always wanted to be a teacher, and truly do love my job. It's definitely hard work and can be stressful at times, but I think it's much easier to get through those challenges at work when you're doing something you're passionate about. I do think it would be cool to someday own my own clothing boutique, too. :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>7. What is your quick and easy makeup routine?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I really don't wear a lot of make-up, but will always apply mascara and concealer when I'm in a hurry. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>8. What is one thing that you have to have everyday?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">A cup of coffee is always a must to get me through the morning. I am NOT a morning person! I really look forward to the two mornings a week I drive through Scooter's or Starbucks for a latte.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></b></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>9. What is your favorite movie and why?</b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Two of my favorites are Legally Blonde and Mean Girls. I giggle the entire time I watch both. I really like to relax and let my mind rest while I watch movies, so I'm all for the silly humor where I don't have to think a lot to be entertained.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><b>10. If you could visit any place in the world, all expense paid, where would you go and what would you do? </b> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've always wanted to go to Italy. I would eat Italian food, drink wine, visit all the famous places and of course, shop. I'd also have to make a stop in southern Spain, where I studied abroad in college.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18pt; margin: 0 0 .25in; text-align: center; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">11. What would you do if you won the lottery?</span></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I would adopt some orphans and help dogs in need of medical care. I'd also pay for a trip to Disneyworld for everyone who wanted to come with me! :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Enough about me. Here are my <span style="font-size: large;">5 nominees and their 11 q<span style="font-size: large;">uestions</span></span>:</span></span><br />

We had so much fun learning about Emperor penguins and reading a silly story about <u>Tacky the Penguin.</u> Our fun week culminated with a paper plate penguin craft.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Happy New Year! I hope you've all had a GREAT start to 2015! I can't believe how quickly my winter break went... I go back tomorrow already! It was so nice to have two weeks off, but I worry about getting back into the swing of things since I've been doing a whole lot of nothing this week! :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">To help ease myself back in, I've started prepping some outfits to wear over the next couple weeks. I'm hoping that having one less thing to think about at 7 A.M. will allow for less hectic mornings. I am definitely NOT a morning person, so 5 extra minutes of sleep is heaven for me! When I am in my most creative state of mind (usually around midnight) I hang the whole outfit (pants, top, accessories, etc) on one hanger in my closet so that I can just grab and go. This system has worked very well for me in the past!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I wanted to show off one of my "prepped" outfits that I wore to church today, as it is already a winter favorite! My stylish mama gifted me this JCrew Factory vest for Christmas, and I loved how this Lou & Grey textured sweater complimented the pattern so well. I know it will be a great look for school on chilly days and will easily transition to weekends, too. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"> </span></div>

There are so many AWESOME teachers out there with some really fun and cute classrooms that provide such great inspiration<span style="font-size: large;">! Today I'm (finally) sharing my classroom photos with you, in hopes that you can be <span style="font-size: large;">inspired by my classroom as much as I have been by all of yours!</span></span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I've spent my life being a tall girl, and at 5'9 1/2" I've learned that height has it's blessings and curses, especially when it comes to fashion. I tend to be able to wear a wide variety of styles, whether it be in dresses, denim or pants, some trendier styles that my shorter friends struggle to make work for them. I also hardly ever have to get anything hemmed or altered, which is definitely a blessing! My biggest struggle in tall girl fashion is hardly ever being able to find the perfect length of pants or dresses in my favorite stores. I also would love to wear cute heels more often, but end up towering over everyone around me (including my 5'10" husband) when I do. Today I want to share a couple of my tips and tricks for how you can stand above the rest of the fashion world in style. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">1. I love fall and winter because I can buy dresses that would typically be too short to wear bare legged during the summer, but actually look like a proper length when paired with leggings and boots. This is a dress I purchased this summer from Loft that ended up being too short to wear. I loved the chambray shirt-dress style too much to take it back, so I ended up saving it to wear with leggings and boots later on. I ended up LOVING this look for a baby shower over the weekend, and plan to get plenty of use out of it for school, too! </span></span><br />

Try the pants or dress on for size (minus length) in the store, and then see if it's available online in a "tall" size. I buy all of my work pants <span style="font-size: large;">from</span> either Loft or Gap because they offer tall sizes online, and buy most of my dresses from Loft. Find Loft's tall selection <a href="http://www.loft.com/tall/cat230008">here</a> and Gap's <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/division.do?cid=85035">here</a>.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Happy (almost) Friday, fashionistas! I hope your 4-day week has just been stellar! </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Logan and I enjoyed a long weekend trip to Denver over Labor Day and we had a great time! I had never been before, and it was fun to explore the city and enjoy some quality time together. The second day we were there, Logan wanted to check out Boulder, because of its fabulous reputation for running, and there just HAPPENED to be an outlet mall <strike>on the way</strike> 20 minutes out of the way. I knew JCrew Factory was having a big Labor Day sale and I also just happened to have a 30% coupon burning a large hole in my pocket, so I convinced Logan to make a pit stop with me, and I had SUCH. GOOD. LUCK! I couldn't wait to show off how I styled each of these cute tops for fall!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The polka dots on this <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/knits_tees/long_sleeve_tees/PRD~A8788/A8788.jsp?Nbrd=F&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=baseball+tee&isSaleItem=false&color_name=IVORY%20GREY&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row1">first tee</a> were just screaming my name from across the store. I love the casual baseball tee look for weekends, but could still wear it for work with a pair of khakis or a full skirt. If you're looking for a cute statement necklace for fall, JCrew Factory has an excellent selection! I wear so much navy, so I knew <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/jewelry/necklaces/PRDOVR~B3724/B3724.jsp">this one</a> would be the perfect addition to my collection! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/knits_tees/long_sleeve_tees/PRD~A8736/A8736.jsp?Nbrd=F&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=embellished&isSaleItem=false&color_name=NAVY&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row3">this embellished tee</a> for fall! I added it to my bag mostly because maroon and white are my sister's school colors, and I plan on attending a LOT of her sporting events this year because it's her senior year! I think this tee would be perfect to wear to work on her game days so that I don't have to change again after school. </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I bought a navy striped tee at JCrew Factory this summer and have worn it so much, I really regretted not buying another color! This <a href="http://factory.jcrew.com/womens-clothing/knits_tees/long_sleeve_tees/PRD~A8728/A8728.jsp?Nbrd=F&Nloc=en_US&Nrpp=48&Npge=1&Ntrm=striped+tee&isSaleItem=false&color_name=RUSTIC%20GREY%20WHITE&isFromSearch=true&isNewSearch=true&hash=row5">gray tee</a> is pretty similar, so I knew I better get it. I love how cute it looks with my <a href="http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?vid=1&pid=960132002">Gap denim vest</a> and green khakis. Another <span style="font-size: large;">top</span> that transitions easily from work to weekend!</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Although I LOVE the first three tops, I think this fourth has to be my favorite. It is actually pretty hard for me to find cute tops in red, probably because I live in the midst of Husker nation, so red anything goes pretty fast here. I love the vibrancy of red, and I wear the color pretty much every Saturday in the fall, so it's nice to have a good selection in my closet :) </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Don't forget that JCrew and JCrew Factory offer a 15% off teacher discount with your teacher ID, and it can usually be used on top of other sales. I love stores that appreciate teachers! :)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I originally found this idea on <a href="http://www.thedigitalscoop.com/">The Digital Scoop</a> blog a couple of years ago, and have made one for my classroom each year since. Just go to <a href="http://wordle.net/">wordle.net</a>, type in your kiddos' names, print out and frame! I found my pink sparkly frame at Hobby Lobby last year.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">The 'Compliment Jar' (or 'Star Jar') template can be found <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/compliment-jar-classroom-incentive-craftivity-732893">here on Teachers Pay Teachers</a> from A Cupcake for the Teacher. I copied mine on neon printer paper and added magnets to the back to hang on my white board. We use the large jar for whole group reinforcement and the smaller jars for a competition between table groups. Once the class earns 10 stars, we vote on a class reward like treats, games, extra recess, etc. The winning table group (first to 5 stars) usually earns a coupon like "computer time" or "choose your spot."</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">My school's Open House is held on a Thursday night the week before school starts, with Curriculum Night held on the same night. Needless to say, I get a little stressed out trying to get the classroom to look perfect, all while trying to come up with creative ideas that will make a great first impression on the students and parents. With this year marking my sixth year of teaching, I seem to have finally figured out a pretty good game plan.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This sign greeted students and parents as they entered the classroom last week: </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tFVWhnf4qrs/U-wMbRO0dYI/AAAAAAAAB_g/IiJ06i7VdqA/s1600/photo%2B4-20.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tFVWhnf4qrs/U-wMbRO0dYI/AAAAAAAAB_g/IiJ06i7VdqA/s1600/photo%2B4-20.JPG" height="640" width="480" /></a></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">These are the papers I left on each student's desk: A 'Meet the Teacher' sheet, volunteer form, scavenger hunt for the students to complete (find your coat hook, mailbox, etc.), a student information card, and specials schedule for the first week. The student info. sheet and volunteer form were both borrowed from another teacher, and the classroom scavenger hunt was self-created but is a very easy activity to replicate. It keeps the students busy while they're exploring the classroom, so that I can mix and mingle and have a chance to meet everyone. Students find me for a "prize" (usually a sucker) once they have completed the checklist. </span></span><br />

I can't wait to share some highlights with you today!

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Last summer, after months of debating which teacher planner would be the best fit for me, I finally decided to go with one of Modern Teacher's printable planners. I had it printed and spiral bound at Office Depot last year and it worked GREAT until I decided about 1/2 way through the year that I would rather type up my lesson plans each week. There was a template included to do this, but I couldn't add the plans very easily to my spiral bound planner. So this year, I needed a different solution. I did love that my planner had a digital template for typing plans, plus my planner was automatically updated for this year without having to purchase a new one. Thanks, Modern Teacher! I found a cute (and very durable) Martha Stewart binder from Staples that I can keep my planner pages in, and add my digital plans to each week after I print them out. I'm hoping this will be the PERFECT solution!</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Hello there, fashionistas! I hope you're having a great week! Mine has been VERY productive, as I have found time to work in my classroom before officially reporting back next week, AND I have my whole first week of outfits planned thanks to Back to School Fashion Week! <span style="font-size: large;">I'm so excited to share my full week of looks with you today, as well as a tip for organizing your <span style="font-size: large;">back to school outfits<span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span></span></span></span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">You may recognize a few of the looks, since Tuesday's outfit was featured <a href="http://fashionista-teacher.blogspot.com/2014/07/back-to-school-fashion-week-day-3.html">here</a>, and Thursday's <a href="http://fashionista-teacher.blogspot.com/2014/07/back-to-school-fashion-week-day-1.html">here</a>. On Fridays, teachers at my school can wear jeans with our school t-shirts and sweatshirts, which is why my Friday look is so casual. I try to give my feet a break and wear tennis shoes or Toms on Fridays. I just ordered this cute pair of polka dot Toms and they just came in the mail today! Our school colors are red and navy, so they will be PERFECT with my school gear on Fridays. Find theme <a href="http://www.toms.com/women/navy-polka-dots-linen-womens-classics">here</a>.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This will most likely not come as a surprise to those who know me well, but I am NOT a morning person. I sleep through two alarms to the last possible minute, and my brain just does not function well in the mornings. I can generally manage to put some sort of outfit together for school, but always do much better on weekends and week nights, or any time I'm able to get ready past 9AM. So, I've had to come up with some sort of strategy to help me function in the early mornings. When I'm going through my closet putting clothes away and a cute outfit idea suddenly comes to mind, I immediately hang all parts of the outfit up together in a designated section of my closet. I do the same thing for outfits worn for blog posts or out to dinner with friends, that would also work for school. That way instead of walking into my closet and staring around like a zombie woman in the morning, I can just reach for an outfit that's already put together.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I apologize for the late post today. I spent the morning doing house chores and spending QT with Miss Lucy (enjoying her morning snuggles while I still can), ran errands and worked at school this afternoon, and Logan and I were out celebrating our 3rd anniversary tonight. It was an action packed, but fun day!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I am pretty "wild" about wearing animal print no matter the occasion, so I wanted to show you some cute ways to style it for school or on the weekend, as well as sharing a few DOs and DONT'S to wearing animal print.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Here are two ways I am planning on wearing animal print to school this fall:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This first look comes with a funny story. Two years ago I wore my new giraffe print pants to school thinking I looked pretty cute. As soon as one little girl walked into the classroom in the morning and said, "Mrs. Watley, why are you wearing your pajamas today?" I vowed never to wear them again. The "pajama" pants sat in my drawer for two years collecting dust. Last week, I saw one of my favorite Instagram fashionistas wearing the same giraffe print pants and looking oh so cute in them, so I knew it was time to give them another try. I wish you could see the tiered cuteness of this Loft black tank (find it <a href="http://www.loft.com/tiered-mixed-media-shell/329076?colorExplode=false&skuId=16740235&catid=cat1590018&productPageType=search&defaultColor=6600">here</a> @ 50% off!)... a great piece to add to your fall wardrobe! Find the necklace <a href="http://www.loft.com/long-eclectic-multi-strand-necklace/340607?colorExplode=false&skuId=17130530&catid=cat640024&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=7069">here</a>. I would add a bright coral or black cardigan for school to polish off the ensemble and to stay warm in the AC (it's always cranked WAY up in my building).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Look 2 is definitely going in my first week of school line up! I love how cute and polished it is, and the skinny gold belt is the perfect finishing touch! When shopping, I always try to look for basics with a "twist," like the scalloped hem on the skirt and the ruffled sleeves on the shell.</span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Now for a few DOs and DON'Ts to wearing these fun patterns.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DO accessorize with animal print. A cute belt or a stylish pair of flats can really be paired with any color or pattern.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DON'T wear it from head to toe. One animal print piece is enough.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">DON'T combine prints. A zebra print belt with a leopard print scarf is just too much.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In today's post, I'm going to show you 5 different ways to style a simple black maxi skirt for school. I live in my Loft black maxi, whether it be fall, winter or spring! If you don't have one, I would definitely recommend adding it to your closet ASAP. With so many different ways to style a simple black maxi, you can easily get away with wearing yours every week! Find a similar black maxi <a href="http://www.loft.com/lou-26-grey-ruched-maxi-skirt/334908?colorExplode=false&skuId=16616998&catid=cat550040&productPageType=search&defaultColor=6600">here</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">As soon as I saw this lace tank from Loft, I knew it would be PERFECT with my black maxi. Find it <a href="http://www.loft.com/lace-tank/334408?colorExplode=false&skuId=16738836&catid=cat1610018&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=8867">here</a>, 50% off for a limited time! I think I would add a denim jacket or black cardigan over top for school, and then take off the jacket for evening plans. I love outfits that easily transition from day to night!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">A blazer in a bright color or fun pattern is a great way to really dress up a black maxi skirt. My <a href="http://www.loft.com/long-eclectic-multi-strand-necklace/340607?colorExplode=false&skuId=17130530&catid=cat640024&productPageType=fullPriceProducts&defaultColor=7069">new Loft necklace</a> is the perfect finishing touch to this ensemble.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">If you don't currently own a chambray blouse, invest in one immediately right along with your black maxi. This is my go-to for shorts, patterned skirts, and is even cute with jeans and an infinity scarf. I love how cute it looks knotted over maxi skirts, and a statement necklace in a pop of color is a must when pairing these two neutrals together.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think this might be my favorite look. A long sleeve tee and cute infinity scarf is the perfect combo for carrying your maxi skirt into cooler, fall weather. I may even add a skinny gold belt next time I wear this combo. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I wear a denim jacket with my maxi skirts and dresses 75% of the time. I knew my striped tee with sparkly sequins would be the perfect piece to add some interest to the classic maxi and jean jacket combo. </span></div>

She was asking for shoe suggestions to <span style="font-size: large;">wear <span style="font-size: large;">with her dress<span style="font-size: large;">, and I asked if she would<span style="font-size: large;"> be willing to let me <span style="font-size: large;">share her dress on the blog this week<span style="font-size: large;">, in case anybody else <span style="font-size: large;">is ha<span style="font-size: large;">ving a simil<span style="font-size: large;">ar shoe dilemma!</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I can't believe school starts for teachers in less than three weeks! SOOOO crazy to think how fast the summer has gone! I definitely get mixed feelings this time of year, excited for a new year, but not quite ready for the lazy summer days to end. Anyone else?</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Today I want to share two products in my Teachers Pay Teachers store that might be helpful to you as you start thinking about going back to school. Maybe their cute designs might make this whole "back to school" thing just a little easier!</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> The first product you're going to LOVE are my <u>BRAND NEW</u> Organized Weekly Learning (O.W.L.) folder covers. I use these as the covers for my students' homework folders, by glueing the print-out to the front of a simple white folder, laminating it, and then using a box cutter to open up the inside pockets. Next, I attach a label with the student's name to the left of the owl graphic. Finally, I add labels to the inside of the folder for the "LEFT at Home" and "RIGHT Back to School" pockets, as well as labels with a grading scale and teacher contact information. These REALLY help to keep my fourth graders (and their teacher) organized, and they look adorable! I have four designs you can choose from, or mix and match like I plan to do! I definitely think these would be super cute in a non-themed classroom, too! Find them <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Owl-Themed-Homework-Folder-Covers-1345860">here</a> on my Teachers Pay Teachers store. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-SQJW0Uf19HQ/U9HAsUUPRYI/AAAAAAAAB1o/f98oA4PNBSo/s1600/Slide2.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></span></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> <img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-oW-aCeaF5eU/U9HAsUv9jcI/AAAAAAAAB1s/luqiRnOsNq4/s1600/Slide1.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"> Secondly, I think every child needs one of these cute postcards on their desk on the first day of school! Write each student's name in the top left corner, attach a pencil or sweet treat, and your students will be sure to think their new teacher is a "hoot!" My kiddos loved finding their postcards on their desks last year, and they are great for helping to assign seats that busy first day! Find them in my TPT store <a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Owl-Happy-First-Day-of-School-Postcard-839603">here</a> (minus the name).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Do you ever have those days where you just feel so happy and confident in your outfit that you don't even want to change into sweats when you get home? Wait... NEVER? Ok, <span style="font-size: large;">m</span>e neither. I live for the moment I can change into comfy clothes after a full day at work. Except TODAY! I love being able to throw on this black pleated jumpsuit without having to coordinate a top piece and bottom piece like I typically do in the mornings. I can just add some super cute accessories and TADA... I instantly have a trendy, effortless ensemble to face the day in style.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I loved wearing this cotton "denim" jacket with my jumpsuit. It was SOOOO comfy and really seemed to give an extra "edge" to today's look. I wear my JCrew Factory denim jacket ALL. THE. TIME. (try 3+ times a week) so I knew this one would be the perfect addition to my closet in order to mix things up a little! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Okay, ladies.

I've put together a pineapple print collage for you with links to each of these cute pieces, so that you can be the talk of your next summer party! </span></div>
