Boyfriend Jeans?

 

I took our "dress-down Friday" as the perfect opportunity to try out my new "boyfriend jeans," (From Express, a lot cheaper than the celebrity favored Current/Elliott in "Super Love Destroyed") though I really think they are just glorified cropped jeans that look old. This is my attempt to try the trend...maybe I'll ease myself more into it with some heels on an evening out!

Prom!

I wanted to go with something understated, and "teacher-esque." The kids said I looked very 1950's which I hope is somewhat of a compliment?! I got the Calvin Klein dress at Ross last fall. The shoes are some of my favorite gold wedges from TJ Maxx (I think Steve Madden?).


The jewelry is all VINTAGE from Staunton Antique Market.

Maxi Dress at Work?

Soprano dress from T.J. Maxx, this season.




Look how TALL it makes me look!



black, leather flats from Gap (2 seasons ago)



Love the ceramic earrings from jewelry by Pam Unger.

Some of my more fashionable students convinced me that it was perfectly fine to wear a maxi dress to work. Because it was the Thursday before a 4-day weekend, I went for it! Here are some of the comments I have received so far:

1. Wow, I love your dress, it's beautiful! (cute, very stylish 11th grade girl)
2. Why are you dressed like a nun? ("favorite" boy in my English 10 class)
3. I love your dress....you look like an Indian! (cafeteria lady)
4. Is that a new outfit, Mrs. Halterman? Did you buy that for your husband's birthday? (Principal, who thinks I buy new clothes for every occasion)
5. I told you it'd be cute! (best student ever!)
