What I wore to work as a primary school teacher 🍎
Can we talk about the transition to warmer weather as a teacher? It is honestly the hardest time of year to dress for! The dress code needs to be modest and professional, the classrooms are absolutely boiling and you still want to feel like yourself 😅
This M&S dress has been my saving grace — it’s so comfortable, I could teach all day in it, sit on the carpet, be at the front of the class, you name it. It just works 🖤
And can we please talk about these ballet slippers for a second 🩰 I am obsessed. They are so chic and honestly the most comfortable flat I have worn in a long time — I genuinely need them in every single colour!
The straw tote adds that little pop of colour and is the perfect teacher bag to carry absolutely everything 💙
M&S really are nailing it for this transition season and I am here for it!

Jeans and a nice top works every time. The trick is choosing elevated basics and letting the proportions do the talking. Fitted on top. Wider through the leg. Simple pieces styled intentionally.

Some days call for an outfit that just gets on with it. Easy layers, practical shoes, nothing to think about at 7am. This one felt warm, comfortable, and quietly pulled together which is exactly what I need for a full teaching day.

This is a good example of how one small change can shift an outfit. The dark base stays the same but adding colour near the face makes it feel more intentional and a bit more like an outfit rather than just getting dressed.

Another one my husband mysteriously “shares” with me. This Haruharu Wonder eye cream is such a good all rounder. The black rice keeps the under eyes hydrated and bright while the bakuchiol works as a gentle retinol alternative so it smooths without irritation. A lovely everyday eye cream that just quietly does its job.

Are we all agreeing this blue knit is a tiny bit magical?

I spotted this adidas x ASOS collab and knew I had to try it. The colours, the retro feel, the way it instantly pulls an outfit together it’s one of those pieces that makes getting dressed feel fun again.

Green and chocolate brown — my new favourite pairing 💚🍫 I found this combo in a Japanese book on colour theory and had to try it. Earthy, unexpected, and somehow just right.
