Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Weekday Wardrobe

March 11, 2017 by Katie Haller

Back when I first started my blog, I loved to document what I wore to work every day.  It always challenged me to come up with new looks using all the clothes in my closet.  It’s been a really long time since I last did a weekday wardrobe post, so I decided it was about time for one.  

I always struggle with getting dressed for work in the morning.   Let’s face it…Preschool teachers aren’t normally known for being very stylish people, but I try my best not to fall into that stereotype.  You never know what messy activities are on the plans for the day.  We paint, play with playdough and you never know who will accidentally get a marker on your sweater.  That’s why I never spend a lot of money on my clothes, especially my work clothes.  I try to dress smart, practical, comfortable and of course… stylish too.  My work clothes transfer over into my mom’s life perfectly.  I spend my whole day with other people’s kids, then I come home and take care of my little guy.  My workweek wardrobe would also be great for stay at home moms as well.
Here is what I wore to work this week…
Monday
Cardigan- Savers
Tunic- Old Navy
Leggings- Last Call Neiman Marcus
Shoes- Nordstrom
Necklace- Kohl’s
Tuesday
Top- Nordstrom Rack
Cardigan- Old Navy
Jeans- Target
Shoes- Burlington Coat Factory
Wednesday
Top- Old Navy
Cardigan- H&M
Leggings- Last Call Neiman Marcus
Thursday
Top- Target
Cardigan- Target
Jeans- Kohl’s
Friday

Dress- Target
Jacket- Meijer
Necklace- Nordstrom Rack

That’s what I wore this week.  I really enjoyed all the beautiful spring weather we had this week. I can’t wait to put together some fun looks for the spring!
 Have a great weekend!

Today I’m updating a longtime favorite look with a maxi dress that has a little more shape and structure—but still has all the things I loved about the original. Same formula (maxi + denim jacket), just a bit more refined.

I have always loved cardigan sweaters. Lately I’ve been wearing them buttoned up, which is an easy way to update the style and wear it in a new way!

If you are over spending money this school year, b If you are over spending money this school year, but still want to send in a little end of the year appreciation gift to your kid’s teacher then this $5 gift idea is a perfect! 

@walmart has these cute little faux plants for under $5! I googled these free printable tags and used some left over Christmas ribbon to make these cute little end of year teacher gifts. 🪴
