Bow pants for the first day back to work in January! 🎀 Just a teacher who wanted to be in her loungewear on the couch but put on “semi-real” pants today and went to work. 😆 I’M SOOOO TIRED after our Monday back guys!! Plus did you drive to work with a full moon staring at you too?! 😳 The energy level today was 110 mph just GO GO GO! I didn’t realize how comfy (and lazy) l’ve felt being a stay at home dog mom for 2 weeks in my pjs. 😂 Missing my couch and my own schedule but of course was happy to see my students and be back in my kindergarten classroom today! I just miss all the peace and quiet of home, and am thankful for all of that time I had to recharge… now to go to bed early tonight😅 Outfit size info: (I’m 5’5” and usually wear a 4/27 and S for reference.) These bow track pants are giving me a Free People vibe for less and I love it! They also come in red with pink bows. I fit in my normal size S fine, but decided to go up to M for length and more of a baggy look. (My ribbed shirt is old from last year from Old Navy, I’ll link similar.) The denim jacket is such a teacher staple item— I got it from Loft and sized down to an XS. @target @targetstyle targetstyle targetdoesitagain targetoutfit teachertribe Target outfit idea, target athleisure, teacher outfit of the day, Kindergarten teacher, elementary school teacher, affordable fashion, teachers follow teachers, teacher life, teacher problems, teacher humor LTKdayinmylife LTKFindsUnder50

New at Target for winter! ❄️

Comment "Target" and I'II DM the links!

I was loving their basics like these new wide leg jeans, sweaters, and cozy athleisure! I also found these coated flare pants and the cutest peplum top for the Christmas holiday or as a NYE top!

Size info: (I'm 5'5" and usually wear size 4/27 and S for reference.)
I sized up one size in the wide leg jeans, the peplum top (for my bust), the airy wide leg athleisure pants (for more length), the red flare leggings, and the oversized sweatshirt. For everything else I am in my normal size small or 4/27.

New pants & tops at Target! 🎯

Size info— More colors in everything! I loved everything I tried on- the short sleeve sweater, the long sleeved “valentines” sweaters, wide leg jeans, new linen-blend pant style with fun red or blue stripes, and the athleisure peplum zip up, “scuba” pants, and bow pants!! I’m 5’5” and wear a size 4/27 and small for reference. I’m in my normal size small in all of the tops & sweaters. The jeans run small IMO and I sized up (they come in 2 more washes, too). I am in my normal size S for the striped linen-blend pants but think I would like them more on me in a size M so they’re a little more flowy. The bow pants fit fine in a S but I sized up to a M for a baggier fit (they also come in red/pink). The “scuba” athleisure pants are SO comfy! Would be great for travel. I fit fine in the S but liked how cozy the M size felt. The gray lounge pants are oversized and comfy in my normal size S. (More colors + tops that match!)

Here comes Monday! 🫣😆 Snacks I have on hand as a busy teacher to help me reach my protein goal! 💪🏼

Comment "SHOP" and I'II DM you the links to everything to add to cart! (Also, see everything listed out below.)

My lunch is typically a healthy bowl I portion out and meal prep for the week or one of 2 things unless I have leftovers: 2 taco-seasoned turkey burgers with riced cauliflower or lettuce OR a cup of shredded chicken with taco seasoning, a sprinkle of cheese & lettuce, no dressing. (Yes I love taco anything and everything.

These snacks are what I choose from to fill in protein I need outside of my meals in a day. I don't eat ALL of these snacks every day, but when I'm adding up my macros, I pick which ones sound good and how much PROTEIN I need to hit my goal outside of my meals. Right now my goal is 130g of protein and I try to hit 30-40g per meal.

(BTW, I'm not an expert! I am just sharing what has been helping me as a busy 41 year old teacher who lifts weights 3xs a week! I track everything/keep a food diary in the @carbondietcoach app and that helps me so much! Obviously lean meats like fish, chicken, and turkey will help the most with high, healthy protein intake!)

My Snack List + 1 serving size in Macros:
• Quest Protein Chips- 19p, 5c, 5f
•Chomps Beef Chomplings - 4p, 0c, 3f
• Jack Link Original Beef Jerky- 10p, 6c, 1.5f
•Oikos Pro Mixed Berry Yogurt- 20p, 8c, 3f
• Whole Almonds- 6p, 6с, 16f
• Deli Fresh Turkey or Chicken Breast- 8p, 1c, 1f
• 2 Hard boiled Eggs- 12p, 1c, 10f
• Shamrock Low-fat Cottage Cheese- 12p, 5c, 2.5f
• Starkist Light Tuna- 17p, 0c, .5f
• Barabell Protein Bar- 20p, 20c, Zf
• Premier Protein Chocolate- 30p, 5c, 3f

My top 10 of 2025 that you all loved too!

I’m 5’5” and wear a size S and 4/27 for reference.
1. Summer favs: I’m in a S in the skirt skort and the brown short sleeve sweater top.
2. Top Shoes: the Birkenstock sandals fit true to size.
3. Top favs for back to school: I am in my normal size small in the dress and sized up to a M in the skirt so the waist band didn’t feel so tight.
4. Hair favs! Love the brushable hair spray, InCommon magic mist (use code TEACHERFASHIONISTA), Living Proof dry shampoo, T3 curling iron 1.25”, and aquage oil!
5. Top Gym fav: don’t get me wrong I love Lululemon, but I need affordable leggings and these Amazon squat proof leggings are great! I own about 8 pairs (black, navy, and olive) and wash like normal/lay flat to dry.
6. Top teacher pants: I sized up in both of these. (Amazon: size M/Loft: size 6 even tho my normal size 4 fit nice, 6 just felt more comfy!)
7. Top teacher jeans: I have raved about these jeans for 3 years now! Worth every penny. I was able to size down in these but think your normal size would fit great too! They have a stretchy yet hugging fabric so don’t bag out!!
8. Top closet basics: double-lined shirts in short and long sleeve! I get these in my normal size S. They are meant to fit tight, so if you don’t like that as much, size up. Great base layer under vests and jackets, or on their own!
9. Most loved classroom look: camo pants (fit TTS, I’m in a S) and denim shirt— most worn teacher item😍
10. Top fall-winter pieces: mesh top (more colors) fits TTs, I’m in a S. I wore a nude bralette underneath. Hooded vest from Walmart fits so cute! I’m in my normal size S.

Size and fit details: (I’m 5’5” and usually wear a size 4/27, S for reference.) This lounge set has a smooth, comfy material perfect for sitting cozy on the couch after work, lounging around on a weekend while still wanting to look cute/put together, or travel (I’ve worn it on a few flights to MN and Iowa in the fall and winter with sneakers!).

New workout sneakers for the one year! I have had black sneakers on my wishlist for quite some time and found these at the Outlets! While I am a huge Nike Air Max 90 fan, these Nike Air Max Dawn "Black/Summit” ones come close and were in my price range. (I wear my normal size 7.5 in Nike.) Couldn’t find these exact ones to link, so linking similar!

My new hiking shoes! Shopped with my gift card at the outlets and am so happy with what I found! I got the Merrell Agility Peak 5 Trail-Running Shoe in “Pink Salt” and went up a 1/2 size per the recommendation from the associate working in the store. So excited to hike in these in 2026!

Casual, shiny athleisure outfit for new years! 🪩

Size and fit details: (I'm 5'5" and wear a size S and 4/27 for reference.)

The leggings are my Spanx faux leather leggings that I've had for 6+ years now! I am in my normal leggings size S. I would recommend sizing up if you don't like things super tight. (I also linked up my favorite Amazon Hey Nuts leggings in case you don’t like the faux leather shine look.) The bralette is last year’s aerie version but I linked up this year’s design and some other options! The sparkly top (which also comes in star and constellation patterns) can be worn for concerts with bike shorts or a mini skirt/ skort + belt and cowgirl boots or anytime you want something with a little sparkle! Dress it up or down. I am in "black shiny" size M. This makes a fun casual gathering or entertaining AND easy festive lounge at home outfit for the week of new years!

One Amazon top 3 ways! 💙

Love an icy blue in the
winter!

SIZE and FIT: (I'm 5'5" and wear a 4/27 / S for reference.)
• The top fits TTS (I'm in a
S) and comes in more colors, too!
• The vest fits TTS, I'm in a S + it comes in other colors.
• The cream coat is a beautiful dressy style. It fits TTS; I sized down to an XS to wear with thin tops, but get your normal size to wear over thicker clothes like sweaters. The coat comes in many colors, too!
• The jeans are from 2 years ago so the exact jeans are not available. But the 90’s fit is! They are TTS, I'm in a 4/27. I did get them in "long" to wear with heels. (Many sizes are selling out in the style - I'm linking some from a few other retailers too.)

Holiday / NYE party, or fun happy hour plans? * These Amazon tops (2 pretty lace ones and one off-the-shoulder sweater!) are so cute and would pair well with your favorite jeans!

I styled these with jeans and love how they automatically elevate a jeans look! You could also wear the with a mini skirt and tights or a nice pair of trousers if you need to dress up! So, you decide- Team lace or Team sweater? Which would you wear? (More colors in each!)

(I am in a size S each of these tops but would recommend sizing up in the scoop neck top if you have a bigger bust. I wouldn't been more comfortable in a M.)
