This outfit includes two new items – one that filled a wardrobe gap, and um, one that didn’t. Last weekend, I did some non-budget damaging shopping by using up some store credit at one of my favorite places to shop - Revolve Clothing Exchange. I got a great selection of items within my store credit range, including this beautiful seafoam short sleeve blazer. This was something that I had actually tried on the last time I was there, but didn’t get because I was short on cash. This helps me with my “lack of structured jackets” gap.
So which part of this outfit doesn’t really fit into a wardrobe gap? Um, try my third pair of Dansko wedge sandals. I absolutely adore my Dansko Neves and Novalees, and managed to convince myself that I needed to get a solid black pair, this time the Nicolettes. I found them for a good price on Ebay and I don’t regret buying them, although I probably should have bought some ballet flats first. I’ve made an agreement with myself now that I have to buy a pair of ballet flats before I’m allowed to buy any more sandals. We’ll see how that goes.
Just to keep you updated, I had another interview yesterday, this time at a school that would be my dream school to work at. I’ll let you know when I hear something, but please do send some employment vibes my way. I always get so nervous at interviews, that I can never tell if I did well.

Polka dots fits you so well!
You look wonderful!
I’m sending good employment vibes your way – the perfect job will be yours!
You won’t regret those Danskos, especially in your warm climate!
I love this jacket! The placement of the buttons is perfect for you! I was shocked to see that it was from F21 (originally). Very cool.
And best of luck with this job. Its good that you had the interview for the one you really wanted later in the game, you had some good practice at the previous ones. I am sending good vibes your way!
I love both the shoes and the jacket. I really need one like that, all lovely and structured. I have so few jackets yet soo many clothes!
Wishing such good luck with the job, and sending super-employment vibes your way!
Love the polka dot dress, they’re so fun to dress up and down. Love how you paired it with the jacket.
Those sandals are SO, so fantastic! A great purchase
I love the swingy polka dot dress with the more structured jacket– they look perfect together!
You ready? I’m sending my good luck vibes in 5…4…3…2…1…boom! Sleep on it, you’ll feel the effects in the morning.
Good find with that fitted blazer. So cute for an extra layer to pretty much any summer outfit! And as for the shoes, well let’s just say, we all have a little Carrie Bradshaw in us. You need those shoes, girl. I’m glad you got them!
Sending you good interview vibes! You look lovely.
Cute dress!
[...] not so sure about are the proportions of the cropped jacket here. I love how this jacket looks worn over a dress or with a high waisted skirt. Do you think it works here worn over a longer blouse with pants? [...]
