Spring Capsule Wardrobe: Teacher Edition

This season’s capsule wardrobe ideas are designed for teachers in honor of our community’s Townwide Teacher Appreciation Days (April 27th-29th, 2017).

Each year a group of businesses and organizations offer discounts and freebies to area teachers, school staff, and home school families. If you are in the Hartville area, grab your school ID and snag deals all over town! Details at www.lakechamber.com/teacherappreciation

Capsule wardrobe (n): a collection of clothing that coordinates allowing for mix and match outfits, less time deciding what to wear, and thrifty shopping (wear it many times instead of once!)

Here’s the gorgeous color palette we picked!

Because the end of the school year can be a “bit” warmish in our Ohio classrooms we picked pieces that allow for layering but are still cool.

The Core

Khaki colored crop pants
Gray skirt
3 dresses – 1 print & 2 solids

The Tops
For the tops we picked a mix of solids and prints. Six to eight tops can be mixed and matched to make at least a couple dozen outfits! We threw in a jacket because again it’s Ohio and spring is ridiculous.

Our Favorite Outfits

The Gray Skirt

with a pretty top tucked in
with layered tops
with a jacket

The Dresses

layer tops over them
layer tops under them
add leggings or a jacket

We love button ups as a layer. Wear them alone, under another top, unbuttoned in place of a cardigan, and even knotted in the front. Look for light weight fabrics and sleeves that can be rolled.
