The Teacher Diva

Spring Trench

If there is one item that needs to be in your closet, it's a trench coat. I never realized how versatile this lightweight jacket was until I finally purchased one. And if you just peruse pinterest, you will see tons of more inspiration as well! You can't go with a classic khaki color or if you want something fresh for spring, try out a pastel color like this blue trench coat. Personally, I love this powder blue option. I kept the rest of my look pretty simple, with a classic white button down and jeans (25% OFF with code SPRING25) but I also plan to pair it with this striped dress. The options are endless! PS- don't forget to take advantage of the SHOPBOP 25% OFF SALE! I just picked up this for an upcoming beach trip and these for summer!      Shop the Post: Chicwish

crochet tunic

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and great Easter! Both of our families were out of town, so our Easter was a little quieter than most. You may have seen some of my snapchats (username- "theteacherdiva") but we went to church at The Village (email me if you want more details!) and then went to brunch at True Food Kitchen. It was nice just the two of us, but we sure missed our families! The weather on Saturday was perfect (I wish I could say the same about yesterday.) This Crochet Tunic was perfect for running errands with Austin and grabbing some lunch. I can't wait to wear it more this summer and take it with me to the beach. The fabric is so soft and I love that it doesn't wrinkle. I wore my favorite jeans and wedges to complete this summery look. I hope everyone has a great Monday and thanks so much for stopping by! xx      Shop the Look: ChicWish Crochet Tunic c/o (I'm wearing a size medium, almost wish I went with the small!) | Blank Denim Skinny Boyfriend Jeans (true to size-

Black & White Tunic

Black and white is always a classic combo that I love to wear during any season. But now that spring is here, I'm finding any excuse to wear my white denim. I have been wearing these (under $60) many times and have found that they are really versatile. I threw on this striped tunic (only $10!) for an easy weekend look. It’s cotton so I can easily throw it in the wash (a necessary feature when you’re wearing it as often as I have been). It certainly would make a good top for spring and definitely an essential for summer!

Mini Crossbody Tote

While I typically find myself carrying an oversized bag, I recently learned that a mini cross-body can be just as effective as it is cute. I have always loved Rebecca Minkoff's bags (you may know her as the designer behind this trendy bag) and I have had my eye on this little Mini Mab Tote. The pop of pink is not the norm for me, but I loved the idea of carrying this with simple outfits or with patterns for a bold statement. It actually holds a lot more than I would have imagined, and it's the perfect accessory for running errands. I've found that this bag comes in almost every color and I've linked my favorites under $200 from Nordstrom below.

Denim Days

When I think of a denim jacket, I immediately revert back to the (not- so- joyous) memories of middle school. I'm pretty sure GAP was the only place to score the denim jacket and I can remember all too well me wearing my jacket with my rhinestone bebe tank top. Complete with baggy sleeves of course. Yikes. Ok, well fast forward 15 years and I am actually finding myself ahem, obsessed (yeah, I said it) with this updated version from J Crew. The light color makes it really easy to wear with a lot of tops, dresses, and even denim. You can see how I paired it with this striped dress here.  Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend!       Shop the Post: J Crew Denim Jacket (runs big, I sized down for a tigher fit--wearing an xs) | J Crew Kiss Kiss Tee (on sale) | AG Denim | Saint Laurent

Blue & Orange Tunic

Happy almost Friday! We have guests coming in tonight for a weekend wedding and I am looking forward to spending time with friends from college. I've always enjoyed weddings and this one will be no exception. I am so excited for your Renit & Ryan! Last week, I wore this orange and blue tunic (less than $20) since the weather was much warmer. I love the bright colors and fun pattern! It is the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. It's long enough to where it could be a beach coverup or worn as a top. It's a great piece to have without breaking the bank and definitely a great find for the upcoming season! Thanks for reading! xx     Shop the Post: Sheinside Orange & Blue Tunic (size up, wearing a medium, almost wish I bought a large)I know ordering international can be a little intimidating, but I have had zero issues with this company. I will say, allow time for shipping. It takes about 3 weeks for it to be delivered. Also, be sure you pay attention to the size chart. I always look at it before placing an order! | Blank Denim (true to size) | ...

Chambray & White

Good morning! I hope everyone is having a great week. Sorry for being a little quiet lately. This is a very busy week with with school and I am spending my extra time focusing on my classroom! While those snow days were nice, us teachers are all now scrambling between conference makeups (our parent/teacher conferences happened to fall on one of the snowdays!) and rescheduling Open House on Thursday. Let's just say...come on Friday! In the meantime, let me tell you about my love for chambray. I really can't pass up a good chambray top. This Chambray Blouse (50% OFF with code BESTSALE1 ) was hit the second I saw it hanging on the rack. Don't you love those moments? I love the fit and length. I kept it simple and threw on my go to White Pants and Cross Body Bucket Bag. Sometimes it's nice just going back to the basics. Thanks for reading! xx   Shop the Post: Ann Taylor Denim Blouse (50% OFF with code BESTSALE1 ...also seen here) and Bucket ...
