I love the colors of both tops - bright blue and apple green - they both look fantastic on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279999 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 04:48:42 +0000 Adelfa 1279999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you're young and edgy enough that you make polo shirts look ironic. In a good way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279944 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 03:19:01 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1279944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't know what private school teachers wear, but your polo outfits are fun. You give a little cheeky nod to preppy, with the oversized polo logo on the first, along with your hoop earrings, and the 70s inspired headscarf in the second. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279910 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 02:45:16 +0000 Aziraphale 1279910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's wrong with looking like a schoolteacher? :-)</p> <p>Your friend is correct. A teacher could totally wear that to work. Doesn't mean it looks bad or inappropriate! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279855 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 01:43:44 +0000 Victoria 1279855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks ladies. I do wear polos a lot but I definitely don't want to look like a teacher lol</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279823 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 01:28:58 +0000 nancywalters 1279823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure why your coworker would say that.&nbsp; Maybe she was having an off day.&nbsp; I think both outfits are stylish and I love the colors on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279814 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 01:25:54 +0000 MsLuna 1279814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You can totally rock this polo. I can't speak for private school teachers, but the way you accessorized (love the scarf) and put the outfits together gives it that casual/preppy yet chic vibe! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279813 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 01:25:50 +0000 deb 1279813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the scarf in your hair in #2! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279768 Tue, 17 Jun 2014 00:45:53 +0000 Sheila 1279768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the association was made because so many private schools designate polo shirts for their required uniform. However, when I see the students dressed this way it is usually a white, navy blue or red polo shirt. One time I had to buy some supplies at a Radio Shack store and the young salesclerk asked me if I was eligible for an educational/teacher's discount. I said NO and wondered why he asked. Then I realized that I was wearing a navy blue polo shirt.</p> <p>Your polo shirts are very stylish and in fashionable colors. I think you are okay with this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279691 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:24:04 +0000 Kristin L 1279691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great on you Victoria! It is kindda preppy, but in a fun way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279689 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:21:39 +0000 cciele 1279689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh, I wonder if people just automatically make the polo shirt -&gt; prep -&gt; school -&gt; teacher association?</p> <p>Anyhow, the length of your skirt and your cool sandals mitigates any teacher-ish associations to me. Very modern prep!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279675 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 23:05:22 +0000 Meredith 1279675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Rachylou! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279658 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 22:29:43 +0000 Pree 1279658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both looks and I love preppy.

It's a bit preppy, but with your fab short hair, earrings, sandals and great-fitting skirt, I think a little preppy suits you well! Now, if this were a holiday themed sweater and baggy wide-wale corduroys, we'd have to talk ;-)</p> <p>You make polo shirts look cool. Love your headscarf.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-polos-my-coworker-said-this-looks-like-private-school-teacher-outfit#post-1279512 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 19:34:40 +0000 Victoria 1279512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>the other day I wore my blue Ralph Lauren polo and pensil skirt to work, only to hear my coworker declare that this looks like something a "private school teacher would wear".&nbsp; Oh dear..does it?</p> <p>Polo from RL, skirt from BR</p> <p>the second outfit is just something I wore on Sat to run errands-once again polo and jeans. Headscarf is from Coach, jeans from Express, polo from Aeropostale</p> <p>Sorry about picture on the side. I rotated it but after I tried uploading it to this page, its still looks this way, not sure why</p>
