Fashion Challenge: Beaded Eglantine Cardigan
This post is rather late as this Fashion Challenge happened a few weeks ago, but here are three looks that I came up with for another What Would Emma Pillsbury Wear Fashion Challenge. For this one, we needed to feature the Beaded Eglantine Cardigan from Anthropologie. Although I created and submitted three looks, only two were featured. Here are all three:

5 Reasons I Wish I Could Wear Pink
I am a natural blue-eyed blonde with German and English ancestry who lives in Northern New York. What does this mean exactly? It means that I have super pale skin with a lot of pink undertones. This also means that I have never been able to successfully pull off wearing pink (or red) of any shade as a top. I really wish that I could because I recently came across this cute tops, in all sorts of pink shades! Hopefully someone else will be able to enjoy them in my place.
1. Two-in-One Chiffon Front Tie Cardigan from New York & Company- $49.95
What I Love: The color and the pattern. So soft and feminine! It's also really only one piece, but looks like two tops. How effortless is that? It's also available in a gorgeous shade of blue, which is much more flattering on me.
What I Dislike: It looks like an awkward length, a little too short. I'd be afraid of having to be yanking it down all the time to make sure I wasn't showing off any belly. It's also hand wash only.
2. Coral Dahlia Garden ruffle tank from Ruche- $52.99
What I Love: I am in love with this top! I love the colors, the print, even the ruffles on the neckline. Call me a sucker for anything light and girlie.
What I Dislike: There's only one left (size L).
3. The Gathering Tank from Anthropologie- $48.00
What I Like: The color. The neckline. The draping around the bodice, which I would assume flatters most body types. It also comes in a striking emerald green shade, which I have been told is a good color on me. Machine washable!
What I Dislike: The price. It seems a little much for what is basically a t-shirt, but I suppose it's too be expected from Anthropologie.
4. Rose Petal Rain cardigan from Mod Cloth- $59.99
What I Love: I saw this cardigan featured on LOFT Loves Teachers but unfortunately, no purchasing information. Happened upon it by accident today! Love the petals.
What I Dislike: Hand wash only.
5. Flutter Panel Bubble Hem shell from LOFT- $49.50
What I Love: The ruffle. The pattern. The banded hemline. Machine washable.
What I Dislike: %100 Polyester, which always feels cheap to me. The fact that I had to do a screen shot to get this image because I couldn't copy the image link.

Inspiring the English Teacher
I came across this top the other day, (on sale for $33! but in the U.K.) and for whatever reason, fell in love with it. Although I have been told that blondes cannot pull off yellow, (by my fashion semi-conscious sister), I would one day like to be the owner of this shirt:
Feeling inspired, I came up with two looks on Polyvore using this top. I am a certified high school English teacher, and although I don't have a full-time job right now, I am hopeful that one day I will. And when I do, this is how I will be dressing.
Most of these items are in my price range, all being less than $50 apiece, with the exception of the apple necklace. I LOVE this Scarlett Bouquet skirt from Ruche and I am patiently waiting for it to be restocked. Just by looking at the butterfly skirt on its website, I could not tell what length it was, but I have a strong feeling that it would be bordering on an inappropriate length for a teacher.
Please tell me what you think! I always welcome, and strongly encourage, feedback.
