Outerwear
Row 1: Guess Double Breasted Coat (3 colors!) / Guess Hooded Trench / Via Spiga Double Breasted Trench
Row 2: Laundry by Design Belted Coat (just sold out, try back Friday or try this similar one) / Steve Madden Belted Coat
I know it doesn't seem normal to buy coats when the weather is screaming sundresses and swimsuits, but quality winter outerwear is expensive, so buy now while they are on sale! Nordstrom carries a variety of great winter coats and prices on these will go back up on August 8. I just love the cut on this Guess Coat, and all the colors that this coat comes in!
Boots and Booties
Row 1: BP Tandem Bootie / BCBGeneration Devvin Ankle Bootie / Vince Camuto Feina Bootie (these will sell out!) / SARTO Sylvania Peep Toe Bootie
Row 2: Steve Madden Gleemer Boot (both colors) / Charles David Lyssa OTK Boot / Vince Camuto Pedra Boot (Wide Calf!) / Halogen OTK Boot (2 colors left unless they restock!)
Row 3: Lucky Brand Bashina Bootie (two colors pictured) / Halogen Selbi Almond Toe Bootie (back, also in Charcoal) / Lucky Brand Yezzah Wedge Bootie (front)
I always wait to buy booties in the fall when I want them and then find myself frustrated when the ones I want are all out of stock in my size and the ones left are either too expensive or not my style. So, take my advice. If you want a pair, get them now!
I tried this pair on in store and they are beautiful and quite comfortable! They remind me a lot of the pair I wore in this post (also this one), that I get asked about all the time! Also, if you remember this post from last winter where I wore over-the-knee boots, you'll find that this pair is very similar. I really want this red pair (see image above), but they already sold out! I haven't lost hope since often they restock when the sale is opened up to non-cardholders. They will go fast though!
Teacher Essentials
Row 1: Olive Sweater (under $30 and sooo soft!) / Sandra Plaid Tunic (4 patterns!) / Blank NYC Buffering Skinny Jeans / Mavi Adriana Skinny Jeans
Row 2: Leith Shawl Collar Cardigan / BP Open Front Cardigan / Vince Camuto Over the Knee Boot / Halogen Owen Flat Calf Hair / Halogen Owen Flat (other colors)
Row 4: Vince Camuto Feina Bootie / BCBGeneration Devvin Ankle Bootie / Billabong Fringe Cardigan / Halogen Long Cardigan / Leith Sleeveless Midi Dress
Before the school year sneaks up on us, think about the kinds of items you wear a lot but don't typically fall into "work wear." For instance, I wear a LOT of layers when I teach. Sometimes the air-conditioning is up too high and I need to throw on a cozy cardigan. This one is SO SOFT and I love how the front tapers down to the back. (see me wearing it in this post). This one comes in every color you can think of and is only $30!! Stock up!
When fall and winter hit, I find myself wearing my boots and booties pretty frequently. There are lots of options above, but these are probably my favorite for work. Booties can be worn with skirts, leggings or jeans, and tall boots are great to pair with a long cardigan or tunic and blanket scarf for fall and winter.
Teachers are always on our feet so it's good to have quality shoes. All of the shoes in this section come in multiple colors. These Sam Edelman flats are a particular favorite of mine, as they come in so many fun colors. Plus, these lace up flats are just too cute. I wanted them in every color but settled on the calf hair flats. Though they're patterned, they work well as a "neutral" in the fall and winter!
Ok, that's it! I hope you have found these two posts helpful (see first post here)! Remember, Nordstrom has free shipping and free returns, so don't feel too scared to order online! Next week's post will be more about tips and tricks for ordering online! In the meantime, share this post with friends you know will be interested and happy shopping!
