The Rule Breaker

Here it is, folks!  The Rule Breaking outfit.  

Yesterday I wrote a post about my second round of shopping my closet where I styled this blouse with articles of clothing creating new "teacher attire" to wear to work.  I confessed that I had only worn the blouse with denim, but I just couldn't stop myself from putting this outfit together.  So, rather than break my rules which I'm allowed to break since they are my rules anyway, I decided to share this outfit with you today.  I just can't help it! #sorrynotsorry...again

Like I said, this blouse just begs to be paired with a great denim so I just did what naturally needed to happen and went ahead and put on my Joes trouser jeans.  The high waist, the wide leg, the deep hue...it was a match made in fashion heaven.  Right?  Right.

Let's be real, the blazer is a formality.  Technically, I could wear this outfit to work and feel really good about myself with that blazer on.  This year, our principal stated, "I am not going to be the jean police.  Please, just look like you're the adult in the room."

Ummmm...I took that to mean I can wear jeans as long as I look like an adult in them.  In other words, business casual?  Aka, no distressed or faded denim paired with tee-shirts and hoodies.  Am I just interpreting her words for my own benefit?  Don't answer that.

I think I look like an adult in this.  Seriously, going to rock this outfit as soon as possible.  Lurve!!!!

So, after shopping my closet, I now have 3 new ways to wear this blouse and I'm pretty sure there are loads more that will be popping into my head now that I've branched out of the denim zone.  Glad I rescued this from the donate bin a while back.
