Looking to beef up my work wardrobe with classic white shirts, feminine tie neck blouses, & black dress pants (have heard fabulous things about the Express "Editor" Pants). Also crushing on this striped dress & scalloped number from J.Crew.
These are great teaching staples (not basics exactly, but super useful I think!) A watch is definitely important for those classrooms without reliable clocks! On my future shopping list for fall is some good/professional all-weather boots (I have to go between buildings) but I'm totally not into thinking about winter now :)
ReplyDeletea lot of great items.
ReplyDeleteThese are some great pieces! I also love LOFT for professional/teacher clothes. They're super cute and what's great is with your teacher ID, you get 10% off! You have a such a cute blog here, I'd love for you to pop by mine sometime :)

The No. 2 pencil skirt and scalloped dress are on sale (plus 50% off!) at my J. Crew! Lots of great prices in stores right now - it's a good time to be stocking up!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, totally meant to mention, these are not my basics, but what I hope will take my closet of basics to the next level! I live and die by my watch these days… it is topping the wish list!
