The first week of school for a high school teacher is all about looking professional. Soon I can be a little funkier. But for a first impression, I need the kids to know I mean business!
Outfit details:
Top – Ann Taylor
Skirt – Kasper
Shoes – Franco Sarto
(Yes, I finally bought some shoes for work with a practical heel height!)
The little burgundy bag is a thrift store find. I thought it punched up the look a bit. Plus, I’m loving burgundy right now with fall just around the corner.
Look at those white legs … and at the end of summer!
What kind of California girl am I?!
Okay, back to correcting papers …
Hope all my dolls are having a fabulous week!
OXOX

Very elegant, my classy friend! 🙂 The pop of burgundy is a great choice. T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
Thanks so much to my elegant and classy friend! 😀
I have been a fan of Ann Taylor for a long time. Kinda of surprised that it was not as popular as it should. I see this outfit transformed to night-out with your pair of red pumps.

What a great idea! The red pumps would turn this professional look into a date night outfit for sure! And yes, I love Ann Taylor too!

You really look very serious and business like here. Good job! 😉 Now I am curious to see what the funkier outfits look like 🙂
Alex – Funky Jungle
OO yes please, I am curious about the funkier stuff too! This outfit is super though, the burgundy is fab. Can't believe ou are back already, school doesn't start until September here x
Hee, you're cute! I'll see what I can do to be a bit funky … like the funky jungle! 😉
Very professional yet feminine too. I would definitely listen to you during class, Mrs. FSBF!
Aww, Mrs. FSBF gives you an A+ for sweetness! OXOX
Just love the pop of burgundy! Your top fits you perfectly plus your skirt is a very feminine style, softer than a pencil skirt. You look very professional.
Thanks so much, Hon!
