Fun Fall Teacher Wardrobe Capsule: 15 Pieces, 20 Outfits

August 11, 2022 by Katie H.

Teacher wardrobe for fall

I am so excited to share my fun fall teacher wardrobe capsule with you today! To be honest, this post has taken me the longest time to complete because it is jammed-packed with teacher outfit inspiration! Last year I shared a post on thrifted teacher outfits, but this year I thought it would be fun to do something a little different to create a teacher wardrobe capsule. I have taken 15 pieces and created 20 different teacher outfit ideas! That is one full month of teacher outfits!!

Affordable Comfy Work Pants

February 1, 2022 by Katie Haller

 

Comfy work pants
I recently realized that there was something that was missing in my wardrobe and that was a classic pair of black work/dress pants.  I don’t really have the need for a pair of dress pants.  It doesn’t fit the needs of my lifestyle, but it is an important wardrobe piece.  You never know when you might need to dress professionally for something.  That’s why I started the hunt for a good pair of black dress pants a few months ago and guess what?  I found nothing!!

4 Ways to Upgrade Your Winter Work Outfits

January 13, 2022 by Katie Haller

4 clothing items that you can add to your work wear wardrobe to give your everyday work outfits an upgrade.
The holidays are over and now it’s time to head back to work.  I always like to start off the new year refreshed and motivated.  Some of you may have made a new year goal to dress cuter.  I always feel like my outfit can help me have a more productive day, so when I was working I made it a goal to always wear something that I felt cute and confident in.  Winter can be hard to stay creative though.  I always find myself in an outfit rut in January.  That’s why today I want to share 4 different wardrobe pieces that can help upgrade your workwear wardrobe this winter!

6 Cute and Comfy Work-From-Home Outfits

September 23, 2021 by Katie Haller

6 Cute and Comfy Work From Home Outfits

 I have recently had some requests to share some work-from-home outfits.  Many people were working from home before the pandemic happened, but now there are more people than ever who are still working from home.  I know that just within my own family, most of them are working remotely from home.  I feel like there are both pros and cons to working from home.  The pros for me would be that there is no commute, you are in the comfort of your own home and you get to create your own schedule.  The biggest cons for me would be staying focused and motivated all day.

How to Style Dressy Joggers

September 13, 2021 by Katie Haller

How to Style Dressy Joggers
I am a huge fan of joggers, but one thing I struggle with joggers is that I don’t always feel very put together when I wear them.  They are always comfy and always my go-to at home, but when I leave the house change into jeans or leggings. (If you want to see some put together looks with joggers check out my post HERE!)

9 Stylish Thrifted Teacher Outfits

August 9, 2021 by Katie Haller

 

 
Want to know what I think the best part of being a teacher is?  No, it’s not having summers off!  It’s the dress code!  I always feel like teachers have the best dress code!  That’s probably why I follow so many teacher accounts on Instagram.  It’s business casual, yet you get to be a little more creative than other workplaces.  I know that when I was a teacher, I always looked forward to what I was going to wear to work.  I always had fun with my outfits.

It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. wh It’s time for another “what I wore then vs. what I wore then” post. This week I am updating this pencil skirt outfit that I wore to work in 2014. There is nothing wrong with a classic black pencil skirt, but I am switching my pints from the top to the bottom with this printed pencil skirt. 

Can we also have a moment of silence for the big bubble necklaces. I loved my green bubble necklace. It always put a pop of color into any outfit, but I am kind of glad that we moved away from big statement necklace. They aren’t very easy to wear around little kids. 🤣 Instead of a statement necklace I added some color in with some statement bracelets.
