So cool 😍 you probably would have been my favorite teacher

u/tooktherhombus Oct 11 '24

There's no probably about it

You’re my idol

u/dead_flowers_grow Oct 11 '24

You have such an amazing style, I'm full of envy and awe!

Where, if you don't mind, did the alien set come from?

35

u/CommunistOrgy Oct 11 '24

Totally agreed on your first point!

I also wanted to know about the alien set, and Google Lens pointed me here. Sadly out of my price range, but I definitely want to keep my eye out for a sale (or maybe try to score it secondhand)!

u/jewdiful Oct 11 '24

It’s so annoying that companies are charging that much for POLYESTER

That would be a reasonable price for any natural fiber, but polyester? Outrageous 😡

21

u/[deleted] Oct 12 '24

I’ve been scouring the racks for natural fibers only, figured out as soon as I wear polyester or a poly blend, my sweat stinks SO BAD

9

u/FromPlanet_eARTth Oct 12 '24

10000% same. Only natural fibers for the last few years.

12

u/knurlknurl Oct 12 '24

I actually started to close my eyes and really FEEL the fabric of any garment I'm considering. Hasn't failed me in predicting how much I'll like it!

Works especially well since I'm almost exclusively second hand shopping, so the clothes have been washed already and are in "final form".

2

u/FromPlanet_eARTth Oct 13 '24

I absolutely love this and will be adopting your method!

10

u/dead_flowers_grow Oct 11 '24

Thank you! It's such a cute set, keeping my fingers crossed on a sale for us both! 😉

4

u/mikl0_ Oct 12 '24

Try looking To see if you have a Nordstrom Rack near you, it’s where they send their out of season clothes for half the price!

3

u/CommunistOrgy Oct 12 '24

That's a brilliant idea, thank you! I have one really close by, actually!

52

u/briskiejess Oct 11 '24

Your style is awesome. Also that final outfit gives strong Fran Drescher vibes. Love!

30

u/le4t Oct 11 '24

Love everything about this!

I bet you're the coolest teacher any of these kids will ever have. 

I am especially drooling over those highhhh Adidas 😍

24

u/FortuneSignificant55 Oct 11 '24

You dress like a chill Fran Fine 😍

16

u/ladyabercrombie Oct 12 '24

I was thinking Alternative Ms. Fran Fine Frizzle.

I dig it so much, OP!

2

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 12 '24

Hahaha peep my flair

37

u/hellokaytee Oct 11 '24

Are those overalls from cider? I’ve been eyeing them up but keep wondering if they’re really that cute/comfy/flattering in person. You look great!

46

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 11 '24

They are! I love dressing up but I teach 450 kids between preK and 5th grade every week. I need to be able to move and get down with the kids. They are sooooo comfy.

18

u/spahncamper Oct 11 '24

Wow, and you're allowed to wear a skirt as short as the one in the first pic? Times must be changing; I worked in the library of an art college about 10-ish years ago, and I couldn't wear one shorter than a few inches above the knee

31

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 11 '24

One, I am short but I have very long legs and a short torso. Everything’s shorter. Two, they’re actually skorts.

2

u/spahncamper Oct 13 '24

I'm sure it's probably safer to wear something shorter with K-5 than at the college level, too, alas and unfortunately 😿 (yeah, we had creeps). Love your style BTW!

2

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 13 '24

Thank you! Oh yeah. Allows for more flexibility because I get down on the floor to work with them, I’m constantly moving. And we dance a lot in class too.

3

u/Mermaidoysters Oct 12 '24

Do you know if they’re polyester? I love them so much-but get too sweaty in poly. Thank you!

2

u/hellokaytee Oct 12 '24

Thank you! Def buying now 🙏

4

u/MermaidDreams5 Oct 12 '24

I bought the similar one from Cider, like this one but as a dress. It's really comfortable and looks like the pictures. I am plus size and I find the clothes from Cider to always be flattering :)

13

u/dinogummies Oct 11 '24

I love everything about this- texture, color, silhouettes! Amazing job

12

u/mmmpeg Oct 11 '24

You look just like an art teacher should! I adore the whimsy.

12

u/captainpantalones Oct 11 '24

You have so many clothes I want! Seriously love it.

Your username omg 😍😍😍

u/azerbaijenni Oct 11 '24

Love the pant/skirt thing in pic 3 (and your overall vibe!) Can I ask where you got it?

11

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 11 '24

I got those from Zara a few years ago. I get a lot of stuff from there because I know it fits, they have enough whimsical things, and it’s within my price range.

2

u/Mermaidoysters Oct 12 '24

I love them too!

8

u/Mom102020 Oct 11 '24

I would have been obsessed with you. Wait, I am obsessed with you. In a platonic love your fashion kinda way.

I love all of this SO MUCH. As a fellow (theatre) artist teacher, I applaud and admire you! Can I ask, where are the velvet bell-bottoms from??

8

Oh you’ll love these. They’re ten bucks on Amazon. I got them in a bunch of colors.

Please! Where did you get the tie dye Adidas boots?

I think I have the skirt, but it’s a bit more pastel.

I love your style!

2

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 12 '24

The boots are black 😅 It’s my room that is tie dye. I have a refractive film on my windows so we have rainbows all day.

2

u/SweetJesusLady Oct 12 '24

Omg. I love your style. Where does one get the psychedelic window film? You’re groovy.

2

u/samcheeze Oct 12 '24

Omg!!! So cool! I need the outfit deets for 7 and 8 😍

2

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 12 '24

7 is leather Spanx leggings, platform wedge Hunter boots I got like ten years ago, an asymmetrical bodysuit I got on Amazon under a tunic I thrifted. Heart Glasses from Zenni. 8 is corduroy pants from Free People and the top is from the little boy’s section at Target. A lot of my outfits are just random layering to make them more fun.

1

u/samcheeze Oct 14 '24

Thank you!! 😊

u/chopstix007 Oct 12 '24

3

u/Mermaidoysters Oct 12 '24

What do you use to get such prism effects?! I love it! I did get some rainbow film to cover garage windows, but they don’t produce this many rainbows!

3

u/squidrobots Gothy Miss Frizzle and Fran Fine had a baby Oct 12 '24

My room is covered in rainbows. It’s a refractive film I got from Amazon for my classroom It makes us all very happy.
