I am now a teacher. I used to be a graduate student. The landscape of my wardrobe has changed. While I am still figuring out what a "teacher wardrobe" looks like, I'm am definitely drawing on previous outfits that I enjoyed to guide my new style… these are the ones inspiring my Summer to Fall teacher outfits:
Cardigans are my friend. Full outfit post {here}.
Pencil skirts in every color are a good idea. Full outfit post {here}.
Remixing is key! Full outfit post {here}.
Keeping a color story in mind is helpful. Full outfit post {here}.

Dresses are easy outfits to throw on in the early morning! Full outfit post {here}.
How has your style evolved recently?
Do you draw inspiration from past outfits that both worked and failed?
My roommate is a teacher, and she dresses so adorable for work! Your "teacher" style reminds me a lot of hers!
ReplyDeleteSo many great outfits! Some of them I remember but some of them I think I missed the first time around! Enjoy your back to school shopping :)

So much outfit inspiration here! I love it!
ReplyDeleteOkay seriously you have the best teacher (and, well, general) style around. If I were your student, I would be completely obsessed with coming to your class just to see what you're wearing everyday! Oh, and learning from you, too, of course.

I hear you about the flats - my high arches actually really enjoy heels, but I am trying to find the perfect mix of shoes styles to keep my feet happy & stylish.

best part of blogging: your own personal lookbook of all your former outfits! seems like you have endless teacher inspiration here.
ReplyDeleteI'd say recently my style has evolved like yours, since starting a new job. my office is very casual, but I still like to try and dress up some (but not be over-dressed.) it's a fine balance.
p.s. my styling session was yesterday! I had such a blast with Shell B! can't wait to blog my new outfits :)
♥ perfectly Priya
I LOVEEEE the light blue pattern skirt with the light blue and green cardigan. ADORABLE!
ReplyDeleteI love your teacher style. It's always fun to see a teacher wear color. Many teachers don't. Colors make me happy, If I was in your class I would be so happy to go to class to see what new outfit you have on. Color makes people happy. So keep up the colors, love them. And good luck on your journey towards your new style evolution.
