Honestly the best part about back-to-school for me is purchasing a few new fall items to refresh my wardrobe. When I became a teacher, I swore I would never wear an ugly sweater, tacky jewelry, or baggy anything. I want to be the hip teacher, the one who looks like she loves coming to work every day. Well, I try. It may not last all year, but for now, I’m pretty excited to wear my new clothes to school every day. It makes getting up early just a teensy bit more fun 🙂

Here are some of the items I purchased for fall

Military Jacket: The Limited
Pendant Necklace: Stella & Dot
Necklace: LittleThingsByTCY

Denim Jacket: The Limited
Polka Dot Shirt: The Limited
Gold Bracelet: Stella & Dot
Black & Gold Bracelet: Madewell
On The Mark Necklace: Stella & Dot
Gold Pendant Necklace: The Limited
Silver Ring: PiecesofStarr
Black Shorts: White House Black Market
Shoes: Crocs

Dress: J. Crew Factory (similar)
Belt: Ann Taylor
Gold Bracelet: Stella & Dot

I plan to wear the blue dress to Open House next Tuesday. Gosh I love shopping – I just wish teachers made more money so I could spend it all on clothes and jewelry! I mean, I have a wish list a mile long!
