“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all”- Aristotle

As an elementary teacher it is important that I wear clothes that are fun and also able to withstand the tears, hugs, and craft projects that are part of a typical teaching day.

I like to pair colored pants or capris with a solid or subtle patterned blouse. Finding a pair of pants in a primary color is pretty easy and there is just something about wearing a bright color that makes people smile! Check your school’s dress codes to make sure colored jeans are permissible!

Here are a few options that are flexible enough for playground duty: Gap//J. Crew//Old Navy//Nordstrom

If you’re wanting to accessorize your outfit you can add a belt to highlight your waist. That will give definition without adding any bulk!

Another way to bring in more “style” to this look would be to add a patterned scarf. A scarf covers any low necklines and provides warmth in the spring/fall months.
