Plus-Size Work Basics

As I mentioned in my last post, I'm starting school and the placement in the school where I will be student teaching next month. I'm projecting my anxiety onto concern about my wardrobe. I don't own one white shirt or one pair of black pants. But since I'm just learning to be a teacher, I'm not rolling in the dough quite yet. My host teacher has assured me that the dress code is business casual, so there's no reason for immediate concern.  That being said, here are some basic white button-downs and work pants that I'm eying to pair with the bold colors from my last post.

Bold Colors for Work

Next month,  I will be starting my placement in the school where I will be student teaching. I'd like to get a few new pieces to start building my professional wardrobe. Finding plus-size dress pants and suiting that fits me is going to be a challenge. Luckily, summer weather in the Central Valley continues until October, so pants and blazer weather is still a ways off.  I've already done posts on stripes and florals, so today I'm going to feature bold solids (one polka dot slips in). Here are some work-appropriate dresses, skirts and blouses I'm checking out.

Since I've stopped working at the Gap Inc. call center last month, I have been missing spending essentially all day online shopping. Not literally shopping of course, but spending all day on the site discussing the product with customers. While going through Gap Inc. withdrawals, I've been especially pining over some lovely floral prints at Old Navy. This is not surprising, considering that in my posts I've tagged "Old Navy" 39 times, and "floral print" 19 times.  Today I'm going to share some of my favorite florals for summer.
