My FAVORITE Store! Nordstrom Rack – I buy 90% of my work clothes here.
My Second Favorite Store – Kohls - This place is the best for jewelry and work pants.
Warm Weather Styles
My Everyday Shoe
Hands down, these are the *best* educator shoes I’ve ever owned! I get compliments on them daily. Cute, comfortable, stylish.
I wear them with slacks, skirts, and dresses – versatile and adorable. The silent soles don’t draw attention.
They run big in size; I typically wear no socks with a size 7 but had to buy these in 6.5’s. Pick any of the 14 colors – you can’t go wrong for under $30 per pair!
(I own 8 of them)
Flowy, Light Tunics
Michael Kors said it best on Project Runway: “Women wear separates.” So when you find one you love, you buy many! I know I’m not alone.
I own 4 of these tunics by Lush. They’re great for layering and I always scoop them up when they’re on sale here.
Favorite DRESS!
This is an easy dress for summer at school ~ or to layer in the fall/winter. It has POCKETS! I scored this for $13.99 at Kohls (here) on sale.
It’s super easy to pair with a cute jacket and tights with little booties as the weather cools off, or with fun flats in the summer.
I add my Favorite Flats and dress this up with cute accessories.
Favorite School T
Students and staff love my “lit” shirt. Middle school is all about fun + learning. This captures it!
I love to dress this T up with a sweet moto jacket or cardigan and skinny pant.
Available in 5 colors ~ Mens & Womens sizes.
Boss Shades: We all need them!
My school colors are purple and black. I had to have these rockstar aviators from Ray-Ban in my school color. Students and staff love them!

Short Sleeve Tanks
Vince Camuto tank tops are professional and my “go to” in the summer. They come in many styles and great fabrics.
Layer them with a light cardigan or top with a cute jacket.
Fall/Winter/Spring Styles
Adidas in Your School Colors I own 2 pairs of Adidas and sport them on my favorite days: classic black with white stripes, and my school colors. They are perfect for dressing down a super formal blazer or wearing on casual Fridays. My middle school students also compliment me every time I wear them. Since they’re my school’s colors, they ask me, “Where’d you get them!?” Makes me feel like a boss 🙂
Jackets & Blazers
BLANKNYC jackets are modern, professional, and super cute. This faux suede is the softest fabric ever!
They work great in fall, winter, and spring. I wear this over sleeveless dresses or tanks.
Long Sleeve Tops
Nordstrom Rack has some of the cutest work clothes I own. Professional, fun, and affordable!
These fun tops are very easy to care for and go with any skinny pant or skirt.
Embroider your own! Parents and teachers often compliment me on my sweet school gear. My secret? I buy great clothes from Columbia in sizes and styles that I like (here’s a link to their huge Outlet Store!). We have a local embroidery shop who has our school logo on file. For $10 I can make anything “school gear.”
