So, I got a job teaching music to Pre K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade at a private school here in Nashville, yay! It's three days a week so I get to keep one of my other Pre K jobs, and I'm really happy about that. I'm way beyond thrilled to finally be teaching music most of my days, talk about a breath of fresh air, it's really incredible. Today was my first day teaching and here's the outfit I wore!
What could be more perfect for a first day of school than this incredible Jitterbuggin' blouse I got for my birthday? This is my first item I've ever had from Jitterbuggin' and I'm seriously in love. I had never bought anything before since it's a bit pricey for me, but I had always wanted to. The quality is really perfect, and the prints for the blouses are just too adorable! I've been wearing this one non stop since I got it. If you follow me on instagram (emmyrenee) you're probably sick of seeing me wear it. The only issue (that's not really even an issue) for me is even though I'm quite short (5'2") I have a long torso so the blouse is a bit short on me. Which is mostly not a problem as I keep it tucked in, but it does untuck pretty easily from some of my trousers. But, that's really a body issue and not the blouses fault. All around it's fabulous and I can't wait to save up for another

I absolutely ADORE this outfit! The print on that blouse is so much fun. My dad is a pilot and I've always had a little soft spot for airplane prints. It goes perfectly with that jumper. Congratulations on the new job as well!
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous outfit! What a great way to start a new job.
ReplyDeleteFirst off: Hooraaay for your new job. Between that & getting into the choir, I can't be more thrilled for you, you truly deserve it.
ReplyDeleteSecond: I love this blouse, it's probably my fav thing she has (well... the manzanita swimsuit, swoon.). I hear ya on the price, which is why I don't have a pair of her trousers yet (think I'm going to splurge this fall). Don't get me wrong though - if I were freaking handmaking amazing repros for people, I'd want to be charging more than she does! I think we just get spoiled, seeing prices of things being made abroad (no thx), or being thrifty gals who hunt down deals on vintage. The fabric store my bestie works at has this airplane fabric, I've been thinking of buying some and seeing how making my own goes. There's no way it's going to be as good of quality though *cough*
Hope your first day was as wonderful as can be!

Well done on the job. Great that you get to do something you love and get paid for it. I always love your outfits and the prints on the blouse is fun and playful.

So cute! I love the novelty print :) and the jumper also looks like a jitterbuggin' piece! (I see its from Bettie Page though)
ReplyDeleteAnywho, you look fantastic! That dark green really suits your coloring and hair. A jewel toned beauty!

Congratulations on your music teaching job! I might have to get that blouse too. You dazzle me.
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing! You'll be their coolest teacher on the block I'm sure, really hope you love your new job!

Gorgeous outfit! It's such a cheerful, sweet ensemble and I'm sure the kids loved seeing you in it. I bought my first Jitterbuggin' garment (their pinafore dress in navy blue, which I'd had one my wish list for ages) with some Christmas money from my folks this past winter and have been living in it ever since. I'd love to add one (or more) of their delightfully lovely blouses to my wardrobe some day as well.

ReplyDeleteIm a music-teacher to! :) I teach kindergarden, class 0 to 3 and it´s such a lovely job! And also a tech grownups in singing lessions. Perfect! :)
ReplyDeleteI love your style you beautiful lady!
Congratulations, lovely!!!!!! What brilliant news! :)
ReplyDeleteThat blouse is super cute - I also have a long torso, and find that quite a lot of tops come untucked easily!
Lastly. your hair looks amazing - so thick and full and curly! I have major hair envy, looking at these pics!!!!!
Ughhhhh you are too too cute! I always think you look good in anything you wear but I do love how you can easily change from casual to dressed-up! I mean I love your outfit when you went to see Dita but these kinds of casual and cute daily outfits are the reason why I think you are a real vintage-loving girl. Congratulations on the new gig - you must be the prettiest teacher around! And you sing so well I cannot wait to hear how many students are going to be inspired by you!
ReplyDeleteI love your suspender skirt so much!! I really want to sew one for myself but I'm not sure how it will look on my figure. I guess there's only one way to know! Congratulations on your teaching job!! What fun!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new gig! I admire you, I worked as a media specialist last year at a school and it's really hard work to work with kids! Your outfit is adorable :)

the skirt/jumper looks so amazing on you. some days ago i tried it on in a shop here in berlin. i have to say, i really struggle with the fabrics bettie page uses. i hated the fabric so much, i left the jumper in the store and ran into the next vintage place. good decision: i found two great original 50s skirts and paid for both almost half the cost of the bp jumper.
ReplyDeletebut - when i see you in this lovely piece - i really wanna have it. life is hard ;)
you look awesome.
The outfit suits you so much! It's so pretty. I'm dying to know where you got that brace skirt from!
ReplyDeleteYou are just stunning!! And what a fun job you have!
