First Day of School

Wonderful first day of school outfit… Wishing you a wonderful year of iinspiring young minds and praying they appreciate you!

Great choice. My children's teachers are not nearly as fashionable!

Good luck on your first day back! You are going to look great.

That's a great look, the skirt is fantastic and the bag is fab as well. Great voting IGers!

Can't believe you already have to head back to school (work). Love the outfit of chose, skirts are the perfect way the be both professional and stylish at the same time, especially with this ever so fun pattern. I'm totally in love with that bag (reminder to start following you on instagram. Are both the teachers and students already back in session? And, if I were to go back in time, I would be lining up to be in your class.

Love the doggies bombing in. And you look fab for the first day of school! Thanks for sharing with Visible Monday.

Have you seen the New Yorker caricatures yet on Eng lit majors? Hilarious. And I love the summer feel of your skirt. Great choice of bag makes for just the right eyecatcher and elegant feel of your top is a plus! I find my outfits actually grab my students' attention. They gave me a charm last semster at end of class having checked out my bracelt all the time when they were supposed to be busy wrecking their brains over English conditionals ;-))) Have a great start! xo Sabina @Oceanblue Style

You look fabulous, Dawn. Great minds think alike! I am doing a week's post on the red and black color scheme. Your skirt is so pretty, love the shape and print. Looking so stylish, love the red bag. I remember when I would teach and go back after Labor Day! I taught music and Kindergarten, I never had fashionable teachers , certainly not lookin like you!!
Hope your week is great

Good choice! I'm still trying to decide what to wear for my first day with students in two weeks. And taking some flats with you is such a good idea. My very first day of teaching I wore a suit and heels…I about died of heat and was teaching barefoot by the end of the day. I quickly learned my lesson 🙂

This is the perfect outfit for the first day of school! Very professional and so chic! Love the pops of red. Have a great week, Dawn! ~Cynthia

I never had a teacher as adorable as you! I bet all your students think you are wonderful!
I hope you have a great school year.

Oh, I love that bag and it matches perfectly with your skirt! nice location!

Very stylish back to school outfit. I'd believe anything you told me about literature just because anyone who dresses so beautifully and with such aplomb must surely know her academic stuff as well. It has a properly optimistic attitude to subtly encourage your students. You look lovely, and I'm sorry your summer is over so soon.
Speaking of literature (or a strange response to some Victorian literary tropes) I'm reading *Artful* by Peter David right now … it's an over-the-top, dark romp featuring the adventures of an older Artful Dodger as protector of the runaway Princess Alexandrina Victoria … yes that one, the future queen of England … and Bram Van Helsing, the child of his famously obesessed father,who is a fabled vampire hunter in his own right. Fagan re-emerges as vampire who becomes the Ripper-esque "Springheel Jack", and we are re-introduced to Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street Irregulars (Holmes hasn't shown up but I'm only a little over half way. He may well yet.) So far, it's a corker, and a great guilty pleasure of a novel. I've read everything Dickens wrote that I can find, and although I loved *Oliver Twist,* I sort of agree with the author of this strange little book, Mr. David, that Oliver was a bit of a pathetic little whiner. If you haven't read this one, I recommend it as an alternative look at some beloved characters who you might wish to hear more of. Yikes, actually.
Can you take your dogs to school? Probably not, but a dog in the room always makes things better.

You look amazing! Great blog you have here! Keep up the great work!
