What I Wore Wednesday: Nautical Preppy Style

September 3, 2014 by Crafty Teacher Lady +

School is back in full swing which means playing lots of dress up! I’ve been posting lots of outfit ideas as well as back-to-school projects and home decor ideas on my Instagram feed! I tend to post there more often then creating new blog posts so join me there between posts!

Gone is my summer wardrobe of tanks and shorts and back are dresses, cardigans, and lots of fun jewelry! I’m linking up today’s outfit with Lindsay over at The Pleated Poppy! It’s one of my favorites because it combines navy with a pop of glittery gold…

The top (and underlying tank) is from Forever 21…it’s such a pretty navy color with a delicate lacy detail!

The white skinny jeans are from GAP…I’m short and pretty curvy so it’s difficult to find skinny jeans that fit just right. These have just enough stretch and are a thick material so they aren’t see-through!

The gold braided wedges are from Sperry (I picked them up on sale at the outlet last summer but just saw them again recently) and the watch is from Francesca’s.

I picked up the fun hammered gold chain at Forever 21 as well! They have such inexpensive, albeit cheap, jewelry pieces! Fun to spice up my wardrobe without breaking the bank! I’m off to school! We started last week but this is really the first week where I’m actually teaching lessons! Stressful but fun to be back with my kiddos!

    Love this pretty combination! I have a very similar lace top I picked up earlier this year and have yet to wear. šŸ™ Your look is inspiring me to pull it out and give it a spin before Fall is officially here.

Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry tre Spring is the time to shine for the two cherry trees in our backyard…watching them bloom has been nothing short of magical. And the scent of the blossoms!! Absolutely divine! 

Buying an older home vs building new can have its perks- one being an established yard (which I just fell in love with). We’ve got neighbors all around, however, the backyard feels pretty private thanks to landscaping done years ago by the previous owners!
Facebook Marketplace for the win! I’m so in love w Facebook Marketplace for the win! I’m so in love with my recent find…the curves are just so darling! I often see many great finds on Marketplace but because I don’t have a truck or trailer, I have to miss out on a lot. I knew this desk would fit in the back of my SUV so I jumped at the chance to grab it. What’s your favorite secondhand find?

Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but als Kitchen Progress Update…lots has been done but also still lots to do! I’m not in a hurry with this renovation…working full time and having a kid who needs lots of attention really limits what can be accomplished (and budget)!! But, I’ve got lots of ideas and plans and will chip away at things slowly. My main goal was to get the flooring and counters done before moving in and the rest can happen…whenever! 🤣😊
I’m slowly but surely adding accessories to C’s ro I’m slowly but surely adding accessories to C’s room! The light fixture uses a rechargeable lightbulb, no hardwiring needed, which makes it super easy to install. The paint color on her walls is @sherwinwilliams Malted Milk (a pretty, muted shade of pink). 

I found the wood artwork at a craft fair and as soon as I read what it said, I just knew it was perfect for her room- she has already proven she can do AMAZING things!! šŸ’—šŸ„°

The bed is a Facebook marketplace find and her bedding is from a variety of places (I’ve linked can I can on my @shop.ltk page so follow me there at CraftyTeacherLady
