🍂 Early fall workwear, California-style! 🍂

Had a PD day at work today, so I went with this easy business casual outfit that’s polished enough for work but still comfortable for a warm September day.

These wide-leg pants are such an easy fall transition piece—swap the tank for a sweater or add a blazer/cardigan when it finally cools down! 🤎

I couldn’t wait to share these because the loafers are BACK! 😂
The last time I owned a pair was probably the early ’90s, so apparently I’ve officially come full circle! I’m loving the classic loafer trend for teacher workwear and fall outfits, and these have memory foam—because cute AND comfortable is the goal. 🙌🏼

I grabbed both the black + burgundy for just $65 total, and I already know I’m going to wear them with everything—jeans, trousers, dresses and more!

I’ll be sharing styled videos soon so you can see how I’m wearing both colors!

New favorite teacher tee 😂📚

Please be patient with me… I’m from the 1900s. 😂
