SEEING RED

It's back to school season and I'm so excited!! The smell of freshly sharpened pencils and the anticipation of new students fills my heart. As a new teacher, I'm trying to stretch my budget and buy pieces for my wardrobe that are really versatile and timeless, while still looking professional and put-together. I recently got some new clothes, including a new red cardigan from Target. Today, I will be featuring 4 different ways to wear this sweater. The possibilities are ENDLESS... but here are a few looks I love and will wear throughout this back to school season.

Look 1: 

This outfit is something I would definitely wear to teach in and could easily transition to after-school activities like meeting friends for dinner or coffee. It's professional, while still looking fun... It makes me feel like I'm living life like Jessica Day on "New Girl."

The Look:
Red Sweater- Target
Navy Herringbone Dress- Old Navy
Grey Oxford Shoes- Gap Outlet

Look 2:

This look is surprisingly comfortable, while looking very professional. I can wear the sweater on colder days, or when I have morning duty, but then take it off when I start getting hot and show off the fun & flouncy sleeves on the blouse. 

The Look:
Red Sweater- Target
White Blouse- Forever 21
Black Polka-Dot Pixie Pants- Old Navy
Black Flats- H&M

Look 3:

This look is a more modern twist on a classic staple- the pencil skirt! I would wear this for Meet The Teacher Night, the 1st Day of School, or even to an interview to nail that teaching job. Basically, this is a look for a more professional setting where you want to make a positive first impression.

The Look:
Red Sweater- Target
Black Statement Necklace- Walmart
White Button-Up Shirt- Target
Black and White Pencil Skirt- Target
Black Flats- H&M

Look 4:

Casual Friday, anyone? I could not be more comfortable in this outfit. Some people mistake "Casual Friday" for "Frumpy Friday" and that's too bad! You can still be comfortable and casual without having to give up style-wise. Plus, when you get off work on Friday this could transition to a great weekend look.

The Look:
Red Sweater- Target
White and Navy Gingham Shirt- Old Navy
Blue Jeans- Old Navy
Grey Oxford Shoes- Gap Outlet
