“5 easy spring outfit ideas for working in schools”

 I am a school based Occupational Therapist. It is important to look professional, but not loose your style identity. I will be sharing 5 easy spring outfits that are perfect for working in a school setting. All the outfits will be classy and polished, but are totally functional for the demands of the work day!!
Working in a school does not have to be as formal as a business or corporate office.  Dress code for staff in the schools are a bit more casual but still polished. With a pop of color and some print, you can easily refresh your spring work wardrobe. If you are a teacher,  therapist, or other personnel working in the schools, then read on to see these comfy, yet chic outfits.
Outfit # 1. Add a floral blouse to your spring work outfit. Nothing says Spring than floral print!!

 Outfit #3. Wear a printed blouse with details to your work blouse. Details add interest to your spring work outfit. Make sure the material is light weight and structured for a polished and professional look.  I love the keyhole and pleated details in the front!!!

Outfit #5: Choose printed pants to add to your spring work outfit in the schools. Nice change from a solid color or neutral. It’s a great way to refresh and add flair to your work outfit without being too garish.
Style tip: Choose a nice t-shirt with a solid color to balance the pants. Add a simple or bold necklace and watch for a more refined and professional look.

Just a review of tips to build a great spring wardrobe for working in schools:
  • Find stretchy capris or tapered pants. They are comfortable and adds business casual to your look
  • Good separates like delicate blouses with print or crisp collard shirts with ruffle or strong shoulder details add interest to the look
  • Wear cute and comfy flats with a solid color or print to add some flair to your outfit
  • Simple statement jewelry dress up basics. I especially love wearing a watch. It’s classic and practical and really pulls your work wear together.

    Awesome tips. Most people shy away from bold colors and prints in the workplace. Just like with anything else, there’s a tasteful way to do it and you’ve demonstrated that. I love all of these, especially the black floral top with plum pants and the mustard with navy polka dots. Great post!
