Your university sounds very much like my high school - anything goes, really. What we normally will get comments on is dressing up too much, but only in a friendly manner of course. I wore a dress with blazer and pumps for my first day (meetings). When I met my own students I wore a blue A-line skirt, a cream white lace tank and a coral cardigan. I wore flat sandals because this was a one to one-setting, and I didn't want to come across as formal. When I met them as a class, I wore a cream pencil skirt and a flowery blouse in neutral colors. I also wore ballerina flats. This worked out fine for me, and I felt good about my looks. I've added some photos of what I'll typically wear for work.</p> <p>Good luck with your planning! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709956 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 10:25:58 +0000 Preppy Pear 709956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Now I'm getting excited! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709813 Sun, 02 Sep 2012 03:49:18 +0000 july3feb2 709813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This year (with three little boys) I will have a daycare drop off, jk drop off and gr 1 drop off before getting to my own school so I decided to attempt to minimize morning strees by preplanning my outfits. I made a list yesterday of the outfits I will wear for the first 3 weeks of school. Day 1 is still a toss up...either my red Gap modern boot trouser (from clearance section $29) with a navy wrap top (also Gap clearance $12) OR a hunter green silky top (Joe Fresh) with AT Loft cropped patterned pants (I think they were called lace pattern or something like that). On my feet i will be wearing my new Franco Sarto nude platform pumps that I am so excited to say I paid $35 (marked down from $139). Can you tell I'm excited about the fall sales?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709638 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 23:36:00 +0000 flowergirl 709638@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a teacher now, but I often wore a suit on my first day of teaching. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709388 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 16:13:04 +0000 sarah 709388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gosh, I dont' know yet - the weather here has been SOOO crazy. I'm waiting until I know for sure whether it's going to hot, cool, or somewhere in between. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709383 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 16:08:28 +0000 Krista 709383@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Louise! I have to admit, it is a somewhat selfish plan in that I rarely sleep well the night before school starts and I am usually so tired AND wired in the morning that it sure does save my bacon to know that I just have to put on something with red and black! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709328 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 14:42:01 +0000 Louise 709328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Krista what a cool idea wearing school colours x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709326 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 14:39:48 +0000 Krista 709326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear an outfit in my school colors each year - it's my subtle nod to school spirit. Thankfully, the school colors are red and black!</p> <p>I have a great red and black dress that I am planning to wear. It's sleeveless, which is good because it's supposed to be a hot week. I've also got new black sandals to wear with it. I'll post a photo on Tuesday, our first day (Monday is a holiday for us in Canada). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709314 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 14:09:18 +0000 Louise 709314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in school based childcare, Monday is a teacher training day so I will be attending in jeans. Tuesday when the children are back in I think I will wear my new brocade look cropped black trousers and floaty aubergine shirt. It's still quite warm here too so I will be painting my toenails a darker colour to reflrct the change in season x</p> <p>ETA- and I'll be switching my handbag and shoes to darker colours too x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709310 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 14:03:57 +0000 deb 709310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a teacher, but I always loved the first week back to school, even in college. New clothes, new people, sort of like a new start. Have fun next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709269 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 12:44:48 +0000 Preppy Pear 709269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! Glad I'm not the only one...Ceit, may I ask what you're planning on wearing?</p> <p>I had a bunch of meetings last week with faculty and students, and one of the things I feel very conscious of is not being overdressed while still trying to look like I care and take my work seriously - our university is very casual. I participated in a faculty meeting and wanted to look put together, but not too formal, so I wore nice pants, a cute sleeveless top, and a cardi. I made a point of wearing flats instead of sandals. The faculty showed up in anything from shorts and birkenstocks to cute summer dresses to suits (though the one guy wearing a suit was wearing clogs which he actually took off during the meeting...). Come to think of it, I don't know why I worried about it - anything goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709268 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 12:36:21 +0000 Anonymous 709268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I meet with my grad student TAs on Thursday and have been planning what to wear for ages! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/calling-all-teachers#post-709258 Sat, 01 Sep 2012 12:10:58 +0000 Preppy Pear 709258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What are you wearing for the first day of school? I've got so many fall outfits planned, but of course, it will be too warm to wear them on Tuesday. </p> <p>For me, one of the great things about being a teacher (or in my case, graduate teaching assistant) means that I still get to carefully select a "back-to-school" outfit, but I haven't quite settled on one yet. Does anyone else get excited about what to wear on the first day? </p>
