Now that we've started accepting Fall clothing, the store is changing colours as yellows, browns and reds pour in! Despite the fact that fall means cold weather is just around the corner, we look forward all year to the amazing fashion that this season spouts out!

For many, Fall also means back to school. Most of the time the focus is on students and what they need to be wearing on their first day back but we'd like to focus on the often neglected but always fabulous teachers!

Teachers find themselves in the middle of the fashion spectrum, they aren't expected to wear business suits but often are allowed to wear jeans. So it can be tricky to find the balance between too casual and too business.

Since you're on your feet all day doing a number of different tasks, above all you need to choose comfortable clothing. This does not mean frumpy or un-stylish.
Choose skirts and dresses that are longer but have a colour or print for interest.
Make sure sweaters or cardigans are fitted, or add a belt over top to cinch your waist, to avoid looking like a potato sack.

Spice up your simpler classic pieces with colourful accessories like a statement necklace, a scarf or some bangles on your wrists.

Fall always seems to brings neutrals back into our colour palettes, which is awesome because it makes it super easy to add red, blue and yellow pieces into the mix.



As for casual Friday? Don't take casual too far, you still need to look put together. Try adding a boyfriend blazer to your jeans for a sophisticated yet comfortable look!




Don't forget, whatever you wear, wear it with confidence and a smile and you'll be ruling the school in no time!
