I would add dark rinse straight cut jeans for Friday casual. A smart blazer. A scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206422 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 17:20:29 +0000 Jonesy 2206422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are great suggestions so far! I would want to know what she already has, wardrobe-wise (and what works for her already/what she wants to keep/what gaps she has identified), what her budget is, and whether or not she loves variety or is happy with a few high-quality pieces that can be mixed and re-mixed. Her climate is also key! So many variables :)... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206373 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 13:58:07 +0000 Helena 2206373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love Sal's list and would just suggest adding a few more tops to the rotation, to avoid laundry issues! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206346 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 11:16:34 +0000 Anonymous 2206346@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can picture something like this- texture, leather, tweed, and rich fall colors. <a href="https://youlookfab.com/2018/01/19/ensemble-texture-rich-in-winter/" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/2018/01.....in-winter/</a><br /> In warmer months lots of linen! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206339 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 08:50:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you show us some of what she does wear, with some comments on what seems to work or not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206326 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 04:51:15 +0000 Anonymous 2206326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A good friend’s sister was a middle school principal before retiring. &nbsp;She liked wearing Eileen Fisher things. Be sure the hairstyle is mature and oozes maternity and authority. &nbsp;If she wants to keep it long she may need to figure out how to wear it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206321 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 04:02:07 +0000 rachylou 2206321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I went to hippie bohemian school. I remember my headmistress as wearing handwoven shawls and sensible shoes and that it was effective. Rather Kate Hepburn at the lake house. Lot of running around with a squash racquet as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206316 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 03:34:10 +0000 cat2 2206316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Public or private? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206315 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 03:33:35 +0000 Carla 2206315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal provided a good list. &nbsp;An all purpose blazer kept on a hook behind her door can be thrown on over just about any outfit to add a note of gravitas.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206313 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 03:31:16 +0000 Echo 2206313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does she have a preference for skirts/dresses vs pants? How formal, overall, is her building? Even though our building is casual as far as staff goes, most of our admin team is in business attire (suits). I think knowing the level of formality is an important first step before going further. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206307 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 02:53:12 +0000 Sal 2206307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From what you have said a couple of things that came to mind...</p> <p>Here is a start</p> <p>- longer midi pleated skirt x 1<br />- midi dress x 1<br />-&nbsp; tailored pants x 2<br />- polished patterned blouses x 2<br />- fine gauge knit sweater x 2<br />- blazer x 1<br />- ankle boots x 1<br />- tall boots x 1<br />- great coat x 1</p> <p>Just my thoughts :)&nbsp; And congratulations are in order too!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/capsule-wardrobe-for-middle-school-principal#post-2206300 Wed, 30 Jun 2021 01:45:56 +0000 nancy 2206300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My friend has asked me for help in putting together a wardrobe capsule that would be &nbsp;appropriate for her as &nbsp;a middle school Principal &nbsp;She is 40 years old, athletic, and leans toward a bohemian/hippie style attire. &nbsp;Her body type is athletic, broad shouldered and muscular. &nbsp;I love her current style but realize she needs to up her game but still be herself. &nbsp;YLF has always been an inspiration for me even thought I don't contribute. &nbsp;Your advice/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. </p> <p>She's about 5'4", beautiful long auburn hair and glowing complexion. &nbsp; </p>
