How to dress as a new graduate instructor
Q & A: What do I wear to teach or TA as a graduate student?
This was my first question when I was admitted to a Masters program–how fancy do I need to get? A few business casual items can go a long way toward building your teaching wardrobe. Some to start with:
3-5 button up shirts (polka dot, maroon, buffalo checked)
Comfortable shoes! (Flats, oxfords)
A nice cardigan (thrifted, here’s a good one), and a blazer
I basically mix these items in with my casual tees, dresses, and jeans for teaching purposes.

OOTD: Stress buying a sweater-cape
At the end of every semester I buy myself a pair of shoes. But I also came home with a cape this time.
OOTD: Final exam proctor
I call this look “what do you mean I have to get dressed to proctor this final & it’s snowing & I still have four papers to write.”

OOTD: Surprise spring
Because it’s supposed to snow tomorrow in CO
Motivation Monday
Came back from the national conference last night and deliriously taught class today, which devolved into me telling my students to photoshop the head of a famous theorist on to the body of a prairie dog and long story short I had a good draft of that image in my inbox five minutes after class.
Anyway here is what I wore to a conference mixer. I think people usually stay in business clothes for these but I swapped my pumps out for boots so that I would be ready to go out after.
