Themed Days….An Old Game Still Continues…

1 Mar

So rewind about a year ago, Vanessa and I were elementary school teachers in AZ. Being teachers and trying to be stylish at work did not always go hand in hand. We both decided in an effort to try different things with our wardrobe and spice up the workplace, we created “themed days”. It made getting dressed for work fun and put a little pep in our step. Example: Dress like a rock star – We rocked jeans, pumps, and leather blazers. Preppy day- Polo oxfords and knee-high socks…yes please! . You get the idea. Now this was sometimes a challenge because it could not a full-out costume (college theme party outfits don’t really scream professional). We still had to dress for the workplace with just a hint to the theme. This game made work outfits that much more fun in AZ and always made us smile. Now we are thousands of miles apart, the game lives on!!! Feeling the Sunday blues and uninspired when thinking of my outfit for Monday, I gchatted V to bring back themed days. She threw at me….. THE HAMPTONS….How do you think I did today?

Tomorrow it is forcasted to rain here in New York City. However, that is not going to stop me and a long time Phoenix friend from playing in the city. We have plans to see a Broadway show, sip some americanos, and shop in SoHo! I need an outfit that is going to keep me warm, dry and still looking on point. This is what I am thinking of wearing…..stay tuned tomorrow it see the outfit come to life! 🙂

Happy Thursday!

    Just a little ditty for our male followers! As the weather is changing, layering is a must. You can wear the flannel by itself, with the cardi, or just the jacket. When you stick with the same color palette, you can mix and match throughout your day. I tried to mix in some more expensive classic with cheaper trendy pieces. 🙂 PS-The shoes are a fall favorite!

    23 Nov

    Today was a just another day in the life of Ms. F, the first grade teacher. Here in NYC the weather is up and down, chilly in the morning and then warms up all day. Therefore, layering is a must. On the subway, I wore a black wool coat by H & M paired with a multi-colored scarf.  This is how I made it all work today.

    Today’s Clothes: – Leggings -Gap, Long white oxford -Top Shop, Boots-Steve Madden, Sweater-SAKs, Belt-borrowed from roommate,

    Today’s Agenda:

    Work-First Graders need to learn how to read, write, and all about Thanksgiving!

    Dinner- I wanted an outfit that would take me from school to dinner with my roommates parents in the West Village.

    In New York!
