Teacher casual workwear for those early fall days 🍂 This is one of my favorite petite-friendly outfits for a comfortable school day: a black puff-sleeve top, light wash wide-leg jeans, a classic belt, and my go-to Birkenstock sandals.

At 5’2”, finding jeans that hit at the right length without hemming is always a win! This outfit is casual enough for the classroom but still pulled together for a full day of teaching. 🤎

Busy day teaching calls for an outfit that’s comfortable but still feels put together. 🤎

And yes, I don’t care what anyone says—I’m still wearing my petite-friendly skinny jeans 😂 They hit at just the right length on me, and I’ll happily keep them in my rotation.

Also, these Big Buckle Madrid Birkenstocks have been getting SO much wear lately. Comfortable enough for a busy day on my feet, but the big buckle makes them feel a little more elevated. 👏🏼
