These are my go-to looks in fashion and accessories that I've loved in my 27 years of teaching.
I wear these three times a week. They hug your curves, feel amazing, and look professional. My favorite is theseven-pocket pants. Pricey, but they wash well, don't wrinkle, and never seem to wear out. I've had mine for years.
The most comfortable shoes for walking all day. Great cushioning and high-quality materials. One of the few shoe companies I've found that still sell leather shoes. The. Cloudsteppers are my favorite.
You absolutely need a sweater in the classroom with the fluctuating temperatures. My favorite is the cable-knit cardigan. Reasonable prices.
