Casual Vibes at Work

 We all know kids are very active and curious....that is why working with children requires outfits that are comfortable (as a teacher you are always on-the-go) and professional.  I chose this outfit to wear to work because it shows that I can still pull-off a look that is comfy, professional yet stylish.

Basic White Tee

It's basic white tee and shredded shorts kinda day in summery Vancouver.  This is my go to outfit if I feel like I'm rushing to get out the door.  I love wearing basic tees as you can do so much with them.  For this outfit, I dressed it up with sandals that are studded with embellishments.

Basic Elevated

I have a few basic t-shirts in my closet that I would literally wear anytime, any season, with any style and that's what I love about them-- it's so versatile.  You can wear them to any occasion, dress them up with a silk midi skirt or dress them down with a pair of shorts, overalls or jeans.

Trend Alert: Ripped Jeans

Been obsessing over ripped jeans for a long time now.  The hardest part though is finding the right fit and the right amount of rips.  I particularly have a hard time finding a good pair that doesn't stretch out too much as well as finding a pair that fits to a tea.

I love these pair I found from American Eagle... the amount of rips are enough for me.  The cropped length is perfect for summer time too.

This is my first time doing an indoor photoshoot.... I have to admit I like the convenience it offers; for instance, I can just change clothes fast and not look for a change room... and i'm not out in the freezing cold! lol

Blue + Backpack

I've been into casual with feminine pieces lately; and what great way to combine a slip dress with a comfortable sweater and casual backpack in this mild (when I had this photoshoot) fall weather.

I love love love the colour of this slip dress from Aritzia.  You can't go wrong with blue, it's always been my favourite colour and slip dresses were definitely the hot new item in the summer!

Vest

  The weather is getting cooler, leaves are starting to fall, days are getting shorter... these are a few signs that fall is on its way.  Vests are ideal for transitional weather.  It can add an extra layer of warmth and are very stylish.  I sometimes like to style my outfit with a vest when I feel like the outfit is lacking that oomph factor.

For this outfit, I paired the vest with a see-through 3/4 sleeves top and finished it with a pair of shorts.  I completed the look with a pair of peep toed cut out shoes.

Chambray X Ripped Jeans

The combination of chambray and ripped jeans are perfect for a comfy day out!  I like to dress it up a little bit by pairing it with sexy heels and clutch.

How about you?  How would you incorporate accessories to make it look more dressy?
