awesome! is it just in the fall? what grade/subject area? i am still thinking about get my teacher certification, i am very interested in how the job pans out for you.

i dont have many suggestions for clothing, i would just look for a lot of basic bottoms you can mix and match with anything and more fun blouses and cardigans. i have surprsingly gotten a LOT of fun printed cardigans from target in the past.

It is just for the fall right now, the teacher I am taking over for had a heart attack last year and he has the option to come back after christmas. He is on the transplant list so the principal really isnt sure which way it will go, so if I do well I might get a contract for the spring semester if he decides not to come back. It is 7th grade History. Target has been good to me in the past, I might start there, I saw some really cute flats on Torrid.com that have small skulls on them and I thought that I might get those I would still be able to keep my flair but they were so small that they werent "gawdy" if you know what I mean. I think accessories might be the key to keeping my style cute necklaces and stuff but still dressing professional..I dont know..

For in person shopping, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Ross and Burlington Coat Factory are good choices.

I think 90% of my work wardrobe is from Target. Their clothes are cheap, comfy, accommodate many body types and they don't wrinkle. Lerner New York has good sales sometimes too, but you might have to rummage a bit to find the good stuff.

Yea Target seems to be the place to go, so I think I will start there. I like the Issac Mizrahi stuff, so I think I will check out that stuff first. The no wrinkle is def. a draw..

Thanks

Congrats on the job...woohoo!!!! I am a big fan of target...I also like the george collection at walmart...Umm if you go to lane bryant when they have sales you can sometimes find some cool stuff. If you have a deb or dots in your area, they can have cute clothes pretty cheap....

P.S. I am a plus size girl too, haha

Yea I only shop the clearance at Lane Bryant everything else is too damn expensive. The only thing I dont like about them is they have too many loud prints, I dont want to announce that I am a big girl!! haha! But I have found some good button up shirts there a few times. I havent checked walmart so I will look into that. I dont have a deb or dots but I know that you have talked of those stores in the past, do they have websites?

Love,
cousin

i'm so terrible with this stuff because i've been working at a place that lets me wear jeans for three years!

Old Navy's plus size stuff is really nice, especially their dressier stuff. i buy most of my staples from Old Navy and Target, mostly because i refuse to wear anything polyester, and they have lots of nice cotton things.

Do you have Kohl's out there? They have awesome sales, and I always find stuff there, too.

we do have kohl's out here and ive heard good stuff about them but I havent shopped there. I will check it out..what do you think is the best way for me to still keep a little bit of rockabilly flair to my outfits without going crazy and looking like a dork? just my jewelry?
