Tops: Get yourself a basic layering tank, a casual long sleeve, a cozy Henley, and a puff-sleeve blouse so you have the essentials for any occasion.
Sweaters: Snuggle up! Grab a cute cardigan, a fashion-forward polo sweater, and a trendy plaid poncho so you can stay warm when it starts to get cold.
Bottoms: Keep your bottoms simple and opt for classic boyfriend jeans, versatile cargo pants, and a pretty maxi skirt. You can pair these options with any of the above tops for a rockin’ autumn look.
Shoes: Fashion starts with the feet! Your footwear can make or break your outfit. For fall, get a pair of cheetah-print slip-on sneakers, neutral Chelsea boots, and adorable snakeskin flats!

Some schools may have already returned, but most schools have a September start date, and we love to support our teachers! Classroom budgets get tighter each year, and most educators spend far too much from their own pockets to get their classrooms together to help our kids learn each year. We started a ‘Teacher Wish List‘ on our group page for teachers to be able to post their wish lists for their classrooms in hopes that parents, grandparents or anyone really would ‘adopt’ a teacher by purchasing items off of their lists! Here are the most popular items that teachers are looking for this school year!
