Happy Tuesday Nobella Grace Mermaids!

I am so excited to share this week's post with you, because it is a little more personal than normal. Right before the new year started, I got a job offer as the lead pre-k teacher at a premiere preschool! I gladly accepted! I was over the moon for this new opportunity and the fact that not only would I be able to teach at this school, but my son would be able to attend there as well. It was the perfect news for our family to receive and definitely started us off in the right direction for 2015. 

Yesterday, I had my first day of training and what better way to celebrate a new job than to do some outfit planning! For all of those who are laughing right now, give this girl a break. For the past 2.5 years I have stayed home with my son and taken care of 5 children. My normal "work" wardrobe consisted of yoga pants and sweatshirts. I was super excited to be able to dress in normal clothes each and every day! YAY!!

First up, I wore this outfit to the ribbon cutting ceremeony. I wanted to "dress to impress". I paired a plaid Everly dress with black leggings and black flats. I accessorized with Kate Spade bangles, ring, and earrings. This look is super simple and chic. Here's another dress I'm currently coveting ((SHOP HERE))! I can totally see myself wearing this to my new job with some leggings, a cardi, and boots while it's still cooler!

Next, I am OBSESSED with how soft this sweater is. If you havent grabbed the Heather Sweater yet, now is your chance. This amazing piece will go with EVERYTHING! I paired it with my favorite pair of jeans from Nobella Grace (the Denim Skinnies). Since this sweater is a neutral, it would also go with brown dress pants or a maxi skirt. The cowl neck and button detail on this sweater adds to it's natural charm. It's a must have for sure!

Last, but certainly not least, here's what I wore to my interview. Of course I had to rock my good luck charm (Nobella Grace ;))! I paired the Shana top with black dress pants from Banana Republic Outlet and black patent wedged heels from Ross. I love the simplistic cut outs on this top. It adds so much dimension and really makes this "normal" top so unique. Another work appropriate top is linked right here ((Sloan Top)). It's always nice to have a blouse that goes well with a simple pair of dress pants in your closet at all times.

I can't wait to create more {{Preschool Chic}} looks using Nobella Grace! What would YOU love to see next? Leave me a comment below and let me know!

Until Next Time

{{Nobella Grace Gems}}

Hi Nobella Grace Mermaids! I love items that make you stand out and be the GEM of the show! You thought that I was going to say "star" right? Nope, this holiday season, it's ALL about being a gem! A gem is something prized especially for great beauty or perfection. These Nobella Grace items are just that...beautiful AND perfect! Whether it be crystals, jewels, or studs these items are sure to impress and have YOU standing out in a crowd!

Ice Petal Necklace ((SHOP HERE))

Worn with Julia Tunic Dress and Charcoal Skinnies

If you didn't already know, my favorite color is mint. When I saw this necklace, I HAD to have it! Not only is it a gorgeous statement necklace, but it goes with so much! I chose to pair the Ice Petal Necklace with grey! The Julia Tunic Dress in grey, Charcoal Skinnies, and grey riding boots were the perfect way to compliment this necklace! This is a more casual look, but this necklace would also look divine with a Little Black Dress at a holiday party. Casual or dressy, this necklace is sure to sparkle and shine!

Geo Necklace ((SHOP HERE))

Worn with the Mocha and Lace Top and Denim Skinnies ((SHOP HERE))

This statement necklace is absolutely stunning! With crystals that are white and blush, it's sure to match anything and everything! I love it paired with the Mocha and Lace Top, Denim Skinnies, and blush colored flats. Need a fancier look? Pair this necklace with a colorful evening gown and nude heels! Simply chic!

 

Stella Jeweled Dress ((SHOP HERE))

Are you a lady who forgets to accessorize? Not to worry, this dress comes with a jeweled neckline, therefore you don't need a necklace!! How awesome is that? I love the royal blue hue of the beautiful Stella Jeweled Dress! It would look great at a New Year's party! I added black closed toe wedges, but for a chillier evening I would suggest black tights as well. 

Now for our last look, I couldn't leave out my girl, Ashley! After seeing her in the Talia dress, I added it to my wish list! She looks gorgeous!!

 

Talia Dress ((SHOP HERE))

Hi Mermaids! Ashley here! So glad Jenna asked me to show you one of my favorite Nobella Grace dresses. This gem really makes you shine! The detail on the Talia Dress is incredible. This dress can literally be styled up or down. I chose to style this piece with charcoal tights, black wedge booties, and a fun black leather jacket. It gives this look a little edge! The gold sequin clutch matches fabulously with the gold studs. I love that Nobella Grace helps me sparkle in a crowd!

So Mermaids, which {{GEM}} are you adding to your closet for some holiday sparkle and shine? Leave us a comment below and let us know!

Until Next Time

Xoxo,

Jenna + Ashley
