Student Teaching Outfits

SkylarSeptember 17, 2014

Today’s post is a little outside of my comfort zone.  As a student teacher on the edge of graduating and becoming a normal teacher I’ve had a hard time finding teaching outfit ideas.

Before student teaching it was acceptable to wear yoga pants and a hoodie to class. Now I have to dress professionally 5 days a week every week. The struggle is real.

So I went to Pinterest to get some outfit ideas, but it is lacking. Business attire is your best search on Pinterest.

Evidently I have some things to work on when it comes to clothing photos and if I do a post like this in the future I will be mindful of these things: Phone Photos=Low quality images Mirror=Hard to crop out Background clutter=Clean it up

Just a note: I’m currently student teaching in a high school. I’m teaching freshman English, and Yearbook (all grades). Thankfullly, I’m not someone who has to run around chasing elementary kids all day.

Now that I’ve gotten into the swing of the school routine, picking out outfits has gotten a bit easier. I thought I would hate dressing nice every day, but now it’s a normal thing for me so it ain’t no thang. If you have any questions about anything I’m wearing then leave a comment!

Is if hard for you to dress professionally? What’s an outfit you’ve been loving lately?

    You look very professional in your long skirts which you could not easily wear teaching little kids! Getting on the floor for some activities is a must for a good elementary teacher. Just ask your mom and grandmother!

    Dressing professionally is a challenge for me since my go-to outfit is shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops! I stumbled on your blog while searching for outfit ideas on pinterest, and it was really helpful! Thanks a bunch!
