I truly believe teachers have one of the hardest jobs, so as a little thank you, I wanted to share some fun and cute fall outfit ideas using just 9 clothing pieces! I’m going to show you how I took 1 dress, 2 tops, 3 bottoms, and 3 layering pieces and turned them into 16 different outfits. My goal was to demonstrate how you can take just a few pieces and mix them up to create tons of looks! I tried to use items you might already have in your closet, but if not, maybe it’s a good excuse to treat yourself to something new for all your hard work! 😉

You can find all the items I used to style here or under the looks below. Let’s dive in!

Capsule Item: Midi Skirt

I love having cute midi skirts in my wardrobe, so I had to include one in this teacher capsule. They’re comfortable, school-appropriate, and come in so many different colors and patterns. This makes them a go-to piece that you can style in lots of different ways. en if you don’t have this exact skirt (though you should, because it’s super cute, lol), take a look at what midi skirts you currently have in your closet and try pulling as many colors as you can from them. This will make it easier to pair with different tops, creating a variety of outfits

Capsule Item: Tan Chino Pants

With a well-fitted pair of tan pants, you can create an endless number of looks! I love this pair I got from Target, they’re affordable and fit comfortably. You can dress them up with some heels and a cute top, or keep it casual with sneakers and your favorite teacher t-shirt.

Capsule Item: Jeans

I know many schools still only allow teachers to wear jeans on Fridays, but a lot of schools now let you wear them whenever you like. Jeans are super versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on your top and shoes. I love how each of these looks is super comfortable while giving off different vibes.

Capsule Item: Midi Dress

I couldn’t do a teacher capsule without a dress. There are so many ways you can style a dress to create different looks. Throw on a denim button-up, a blazer, or a belt, and it completely transforms the outfit!
