Next week, my Sister-in-Law is going back to work as a teacher after a multi-year hiatus. ?She’s excited, and nervous, and wondering what the classroom will be like post-pandemic (ish). ?But we’re trying to make sure at least her wardrobe is on point.
I went on a search for teacher-style blogs and influencers, and came across this photo, which I thought was a cool look. ?So let’s recreate this outfit from @my_teacher_style for those who like a more relaxed work outfit.
Jacket // There were several choices for the blazer here, but I went with J.Crew’s Parke blazer because I like a little more structure. ?There is also a looser, more relaxed version. ?Both of these styles come in plus and petite.
T-Shirt // I love a cool graphic tee, but I had some trouble finding one. ?You see, I have one rule: I don’t wear concert tees unless I’ve been to the show. ?So all the cool vintage concert tees are off limits for me. ?Instead, I chose this J.Crew Factory tee with dogs on it. ?I also love the Re/Done tees, but that price for a tee is a little more than I can stomach.
Jeans // I chose to go with the lighter wash for these, but to pull up with a more bootcut style. ?I don’t like the Mom-jean look, it’s not flattering on most women, and I see no reason to push it. ?These ‘Ab-solution’ bootcut jeans are awesome and flattering, and affordable (also in petite).
Wit & Wisdom really is a good denim line for something in a more affordable price range. ?It also offers a plus and petite range. ?So until I know how much baby-weight is leaving, and how much is staying, these are my go to jeans.
Accessories // I think that CALPAK Haven bag from this morning would be a great teacher work bag. ?Spacious and versatile, but you don’t need a yak to carry it.
I also darkened up the mules because white shoes are not my jam. ?And, of course, there are always Rothy’s if mules aren’t for you.
Lastly, I added some pink blue-light glasses for color. ?They pull from the pink hues in the shirt. ?And I chose these funky triangle hoops with white enamel accents.
Styling // I think a low bun would be cool with this outfit. ?It balances the studious professional with the graphic tee vibe. ?But down and loose is nice too.?Lastly, I toss on a sheer lip color for a bit of pop.
