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. 🙁 Your look is inspiring me to pull it out and give it a spin before Fall is officially here.

I love a good thrift store visit…the only items th I love a good thrift store visit…the only items that came home with us were the beach chair (we needed one), the mini chalkboard (which I’ll take to school to display the “quote of the week”), and the cute New Balance sneakers. Stay tuned for part 2 where I show you all the things that caught the eye of my five year old!! 🤣🥰🎉👏🏻
We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as We took our 4th annual trip to @storylandnh and as we sat to take a break, this character came over to say hello. Our daughter has worked so hard in physical therapy to overcome some gross motor challenges related to balance and coordination, most notably learning to walk independently. With some encouragement, she stood up and walked over for a hug! This seemingly mundane moment for most families is SUCH a huge milestone for us- one that is a culmination of YEARS of hard work. Words cannot express how proud I am to be her mom and to have a front row seat to true determination, perseverance, and patience…today was an awesome day and makes me so hopeful for the future! 💗
My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- My home state of Maine will forever have my heart- I miss it every day but feel so lucky I get to come back home for much of the summer to fill my cup right up to the brim! I hope my daughter is building core memories of her time here each summer as well…video captured while on a July Fourth family cruise in front of Portland Head Light in Cape Elizabeth, Maine.

Still can’t believe this is our backyard…I was get Still can’t believe this is our backyard…I was getting ready for bed and I looked out my window and saw both a deer and a bunny and pretty much felt just like Snow White! I can’t get enough of these cute visitors (and also know I won’t be spending a ton on landscaping since most plants won’t stand a chance)! 🤣
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!
