Every girl should dress like a teacher. Let me explain why.
1. Teachers primarily dress for comfort and practicality. The good teacher outfit is commute-proof, and is good for 12 hour work days (8 of which involve standing up and pacing up and down a classroom or hallway).
2. Teachers dress up in a timeless manner. And no, not timeless as in "panahon-ng-lola-mo" timeless, but Audrey Hepburn/Grace Kelly-timeless. The clothes you purchase in your early twenties will still be useful even when you're in your 60's and 70's.
3. Teachers dress professionally. We get treated deferentially because we show by our polished manner of dress that we respect ourselves and expect to be treated with respect, in turn.
Here's a quote from this blog that I completely agree with:
"We live in a shallow world where we judge people by their looks. So image does matter if you want to get a head start in life."
4. The way teachers dress highlight their brains and capabilities. Isn't it rather insulting if you were to be remembered not by what you said or did, but only by what you wore? (Aside: I know that I will always remember the girl I saw riding the escalator last night in a mall... she wore such a short denim skirt that when I glanced up, I saw her b*tt and underwear!!!)
In the weeks to come, I will be posting stylish teacher outfits that girls of all ages and professions can get ideas from. Stylish comfort is for everyone, after all!
If you disagree or have some violent reactions, feel free to post a comment! I'd better warn you, gentle reader, that I AM a teacher... and TEACHER ALWAYS KNOWS BEST! :)
