What to Wear to a Fieldtrip -

Since I only have one child in primary/elementary school, there are not too many more opportunities to go accompany one of my children on a Fieldtrip. Most of the fieldtrips are to the same places every year, so I pick and choose which to go to. Going to the strawberry farm to pick strawberries is my type of fun, so that was the occasion for this outfit.

I usually try to wear something in the school’s colors on field trip or sports events. Our school colors are purple and gold. While I sometimes wear school sponsored clothes, I would rather wear something a little more interesting and fun from my closet. I do have several purple shirts and this thrifted one is one of my most casual ones.

Love the end result and I hope you got loads of strawberries

I have practically ruined shoes before, so now I think about it. The field trip was rescheduled to next Friday so I am not sure if there will be any strawberries left.

I always loved field trips! My last year of teaching was so bittersweet as each field trip was the last one. You are wise in wearing old shoes. That was something we always told our kids…wear old shoes because they will get dirty!
