8 Teacher Outfits You’re Going To Love

8 Teacher Outfits You're Going To Love

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we are headed back to school already? Where did summer go? I used to think it flew by when my kids were little, and I feel like as I’ve gotten older, it flies by even faster. Whether you are a teacher or have an office career, I’ve put together 8 outfits you could easily wear for any type of professional job, meetings, or coffee dates. These outfits are mostly made up of great wardrobe/classic pieces, which you’ll be able to wear on repeat and build your wardrobe off of. Great essentials are a necessity for creating easy, go-to outfits. 

Adding in trendy accessories is an affordable way to freshen up pieces you already have in your closet. I shared more about that on my Fall trends blog post last week. Below you’ll see how I used both closet wardrobe builders (staple pieces) and a few on-trend pieces to create outfits you can wear for more than work. I hope you enjoy what I’ve created, as well as what my 4 blogger girlfriends created for our monthly blog hop. Sharing the links to their blogs below, as I hope you’ll check out their outfit inspirations.

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

Hello Pretty Ladies,

 I’m sharing a few trends of the season, as well as some easy outfit ideas, too. Fall fashion is one of my favorite seasons to shop for, so let’s have some fun!!

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories, a Perfect & affordable way to give your wardrobe a little update. Here are a few of the things I am noticing:) & What I’ve been Fall Trend spotting. Mixing Affordable finds with classic wardrobe staples to refresh your Fall wardrobe. Think Layers, classic Ralph Lauren, Rich fabrics, wool, tweeds, plaid, Cable knit sweaters, mixed with denim, and suede. The English countryside sets the stage for this year’s classic fall, adding in that East Coast Preppy vibe. Take these classic wardrobe basics and mix in this season’s hot colors and accessories. It is a great way to elevate any outfit this Fall.

Tv Segment

I am headed to GTU tomorrow. For another Fashion Fix TV Segment…Featuring: “ This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories ” @ 9:40ish am Mnt. ABC Good Things Utah/ stream live from anywhere link in bio. Watch the segment HERE.

 

This Season's Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

This Season's Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

Ralph Lauren Vibe

Ralph Lauren’s style is characterized by timeless elegance, classic American fashion, and a blend of sophistication and casual comfort.
It often features preppy elements, clean lines, and a neutral color palette, with an emphasis on quality fabrics and versatile pieces that transcend trends. 

 

Key elements of Ralph Lauren style:

    • Timeless classics:
      Ralph Lauren is known for enduring pieces like tailored suits, crisp white button-down shirts, and polo shirts, often in a preppy style. 

       
    • Neutral color palette:
      A signature aspect of the brand is the use of neutral tones like navy, white, tan, and other earthy shades, which are highly versatile and create a sense of understated elegance. 

       
  • Effortless yet polished:
    The style is about achieving a refined look without appearing overly contrived or trend-driven. 

     
  • Mixing patterns and textures:
    Ralph Lauren often incorporates a mix of patterns (like stripes, plaid, or polka dots) and textures (like leather, cashmere, or tweed) in unexpected ways, adding depth and visual interest to the overall look. 

This Season's Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

Preppy Style

The preppy vibe in my eyes is a classic style, and a vibe some of us always lean towards. Last year, we started seeing rugby stripes, polos, & loafers in a big way, and it will be even stronger this year.

    • Think polo shirts, chinos, loafers, and blazers in classic colors like navy, white, and khaki. 

       
      Country club chic:
      A blend of casual and sophisticated pieces, like a cashmere sweater paired with tailored trousers and a statement belt.

Denim Maxi Skirts, and Denim on denim, also known as (Canadian Tuxedo), this Amazon denim vest is so cute |Cowboy boots, Neck scarves, Turquoise, Fringe details, Cow Print, and a few maxi dresses that would be beautiful worn alone or layered with a jacket or chunky knit cardigan for fall.

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Hello Pretty Lady,

The recipe I make often is a family favorite and has been highly requested by you. I’ve finally had a chance to get it up on the blog, and I hope you and your family love it as much as mine does. You’ll have to let me know in the comments below if you try it.

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

 

Focaccia Dough recipe:

4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons instant yeast, 2 cups water. Whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast first, then add water and stir together. Add olive oil, then cover the bowl preferably with a lid or a cloth bowl cover. Stick the bowl in the fridge immediately; leave it there to rise for 12 to 18 hours (or for as long as three days). The dough recipe is one I tried from Alexandria  | and it’s seriously so good on its own with rosemary and the Sea Salt. But, I just had to try it with my Caprice Toppings, and man, the combination is so good!

TIP:

I baked the bread the day or so before (double the batch and make a couple), freeze one for later. 

Then I added all the toppings and baked for 15 minutes, or you can serve toppins cold on the baked foccia & drizzled with balsamic glaze, and served

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Caprice Toppings:

-Organic  Tomatoes 

-Fresh Basil 

-Fresh rosemary

-Chopped garlic cloves 

-Mozzarella ( I like Trader Joe’s cut in 1/2, and I use a little of the oil it’s in to drizzle )

-Sprinkle flaky salt 

-Drizzle with olive oil (I use garlic-infused) 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Serve with :

Balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Bruschetta sauce (Trader Joe’s)

Love a little dipping, but it’s tasty all on its own 

Other topping options:

Kamala olives 

Jalapeños

Nordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

gNordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

The most anticipated Sale of the Year! It starts tomorrow, but only for cardholders with Icon Static…. I didn’t want non-cardholders to feel left out, so I scoured all 136 pages of the sale section to bring you my top picks throughout the week! Hoping you enjoy seeing some of the pieces I own and a peek at my wish list. I am swooning over them. Perfect pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, transition into Fall, and pieces you’ll live in all Winter! This Sale is the best price of the Year and makes for a great time to stock up.

I’ve been shopping this sale for over 30 years and look forward to it every year. It’s a great time to pick up items/brands that are hard to find on sale! They have amazing beauty bundles you can’t get any other time of the year!

Items I purchase for my wardrobe, I wear, tend to wear on repeat as well as build my classic wardrobe with good quality pieces. 

This year’s SALE is truly one of the BEST I’ve seen in years… My wish list would be everything you see here in my graphics (if I could. 

Things to Remember & a few tips

Things to remember: The Anniversary SALE is open for preview and starts tomorrow for Icon static cardholders….Don’t have a card? Apply here to shop for the Cardholder sale from July 8th to August 3rd. Store sales will open to the public from July 14th to August 3rd. Are you a cardholder? Remember, you get a triple points day, so don’t forget to schedule it for the day you’re headed to shop.

If shopping online, you can schedule your points on your order before checking out. If you feel like shopping on my page and using my links here and below, I thank you from the bottom of my heart because I get a tiny commission, which allows me to keep doing what I love.

Nordstrom 2025 Anniversary Sale Insider Tips and My Picks

Mark your calendar:

 Don’t forget to watch my Instagram stories for daily tips, to see my try-on, and for more in-store details. On July 10th, tune in at 4:00 p.m. for my live on Instagram. I’ll be sharing items I own and wardrobe builders. I’m also excited to give you a sneak peek at what will be on Sale from Wit & Wisdom, as they sent me a few affordable pieces to share. Again, thank you for your support and for taking the time to stop by and read my post.

You don’t have to be a cardholder to SHOP the SALE! You can sign up to be a member for free and still earn points. 

Things to Know about the Sale

Link to apply for Nordstrom card HERE

If you want to score early access, apply for a Nordstrom credit card ASAP. The retailer offers two types of cards, a retail credit card and a Visa credit card, which provide the same benefits and are eligible for early access to the Anniversary Sale. While your cardmember status depends on yearly spending amounts (shared below), all cardmembers automatically start at Influencer status, which means you’ll get an extra four days to shop the Sale before it opens to everyone.

Insider tips

Early access for the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale begins tomorrow for Cardholders, and even I can’t stop until the 11th! The bummer is that things start selling quickly, so I have some tips!

  • Shop online! This is where you will find the most extensive selection!
  • Add to Wishlist! If you see something you love, add it to your wishlist, so the day you’re able to shop, you can immediately “add to cart”!
  • Add a different size! If the size you are looking for sells out in your size, add a different size to your shopping bag and check back often as things get returned and stocked! I’ve even had luck exchanging after the sale for the correct size and color.
  • Expedite Shipping! For $20, this bumps your order and gives you a better chance to get what you want!

 

When can I shop for the 2025 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale?

How I am Breaking Down the Sale:

What I will be sharing from the Nordstrom sale is broken down. Breaking the Sale down and scaling it into categories is essential. Hopefully, you will find this method easier and won’t feel overwhelmed. Please note that I go through every sale item and think about what a great deal is and what closet staples are great to add without going overboard. I also choose items that are hard to find on Sale, so shopping for them now may be your only chance to get them on Sale. Follow my Shop. LTK HERE, as I’ve created a few Nordstrom Boards to simplify shopping.

6 Things I Buy Every Year

6 items I buy every year at the Nordstrom Sale

A free people cardigan or sweater… It’s a great time to get free people on sale, and they always have a good selection! (This is this year’s pick.) 

A new coat again, it’s the best time to pick up designer pieces that are hard to find on sale.  This is this year’s pick, Ralph Lauren’s plaid cropped pea coat 

Donna Karen’s cashmere deodorant.. I have used this for 30 years and just love it! 1 box lasts for the whole year! Smells great and works

A Charlotte Tilbury makeup set, I love Charlotte T, and this is one of the only times of the year to grab on sale!

The BEST moisturizing lotion by Khiels, it’s so rich and creamy, really moisturizes your skin, and again, only time of year to grab this big size at this price. 

I grab “this year’s” Steve Madden mule. It’s a go-to everyday shoe I can wear with everything! All year long! I want this one too! Loving this year’s gold buckle detail, and comes in several colors!  I want it in the wine, the pearl, and the neutral

If I could only pick 12 things… well, 6 of them I buy every year… shown above. Plus, what’s actually in my cart…I will add later this week…

Summer Salad Season Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad

Summer Salad Season Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad

Summer Salad Season Crunchy  Chicken - Sweet and Savory Salad

Hello Pretty Ladies,

I hope you had a great weekend. The weather in Utah has been beautiful, and we’ve been spending a lot of time outside working on Yard and Garden projects and craving salads. With that being said, for today’s “In the Kitchen with D’Arcy,” I am sharing my recipe for my Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad. It’s so good, the mix of crunchy Chicken and sweet pecans with the savory flavor of Blue cheese gives this mixed green and veggie salad that wow factor.

Crunchy  Chicken – Sweet and Savory Salad Recipe:

2 Panko-crusted chicken breasts cut into cubes ( I use my Chicken Schnitzel recipe) (I make a couple extra that week for dinner & reserve to make this salad that week) 

One Bag of mixed greens of your choice or hand chop ( I like 1 chopped romaine, 1 chopped iceberg, and a handful of spinach) 

1/2 cup Green onions 

1 large tomato, diced

One Carrot sliced however you like 

1 cup Blue cheese crumbles

1 cup Candied pecans

Fresh pepper to taste

Balsamic glaze for drizzle 

Homemade garlic croutons (I use leftover garlic bread, cut into cubes and warm in the oven until crispy)

My dressing of choice is a homemade Italian vinaigrette or balsamic vinegar; the boys prefer blue cheese dressing. 

How to serve:

This salad serves four as a main course for dinner. If so, I make four salads in individual bowls by dividing the ingredients evenly. If serving as a side or taking it to a party, I add everything to a large wooden salad bowl and mix the lettuce with a good toss. Then, I layer all the ingredients except the salad dressing and let people add that to their liking.

-Ruffles & Bows
-Show a little leg
-Calf & Maxi length for those who don’t 
-Casual- Everyday-Workwear and -Travel
-Color- Neutrals and Print

A few style TIPs and the BIGGEST style mistake….

Just putting on the dress and not accessorizing …. Take NOTE of every look… Shoes, Bag, Jewlery and finishing accessories ✔️✔️✔️

Accessorizing can make or break your look… Styling doesn’t have to be hard or over the top… but it is something you don’t want to skip…

Changing your bag takes 3 minutes, picking a shoe can be an issue for some. Tip: pick a neutral sandal or heel, 1 good neutral sandal & Bag can work for all these looks. (I’ve linked several over on my blog and in stories) 

- A great gold or silver stack of bracelets, a favorite necklace and earrings will work if you are a minimalist..

If you’re a Maximalists like me😉 you’ll have a collection for every season, every “vibe” and several choices to change the looks….

You can be classic and chic, simple and elegant, boho and layered…. Just DON’T skip accessorizing😉

This little spit fire is 23🤍 I can’t believe how f This little spit fire is 23🤍
I can’t believe how fast time has flown by 🤍

It’s been so fun watching him grow from a  little pistol into this young man🤍and amazing New daddy. 

His determination, and strong will, made him a great athlete, while his tender heart  and sensitivity & caring has made him kind to others. He’s loyal, has a strong work ethic and a joy for adventure. 

He’s our boy that would want to save every kitten and brought us home our beloved Binx and Little Miss…

The pickiest eater ever, until about the age of 12, and  He wouldn’t try a burger until age 13! (Thank goodness that’s all changed) 😉

So many memories , yet doesn’t seem like it could already be 23 years! 
Proud of the man and watching him become a daddy has been one of our biggest joys🤍🤍

Happy 23rd 🎂🎉Hampton Steel we couldn’t love you more🤍🤍🤍
