Fashion Victims No More!
By Victoria

Aaaah my favorite question. "What am I going to wear???" Have no fear. With these simple rules for survival, you should be okay.

Spend your money on your bottoms. Two good pairs of slacks in a three-season fabric should
get you through a lot. Black is a must, khakhi is another good choice. Try these:

expensive, but worth the money as they will last you for a loooong time.
or if you simply can't spend

the $$ right now, these:

paired with something like this

which is cute but won't a: break the bank or b: make you cry if someone gets finger paint on it.

Get two or three great, slightly more pricey bottoms to pair with a bunch of not-so-pricey tops. If you look in the mirror and think something is too tight, too revealing, too see-through, it definitely is. If you would feel uncomfortable watching your own child standing alongside someone dressed in your outfit, take it off and save it for a date.

As for shoes, let me tell you something. I love cute shoes. I love strappy sandals and things that show off my great pedicure. I would kill myself if I wore those all day to stand up and teach. If your feet don't hurt at the end of the day, you're not doing your job right. You're sitting down too much. Look for the nicest shoes you can find but for heaven's sake, DON'T BUY SHOES THAT HURT JUST PUTTING THEM ON.

Good luck!
