Basically what I wear to work when I am not suited up or in a dress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-to-private-school-open-house#post-2777831 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 10:35:53 +0000 Meowkers 2777831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree with everything @SweetiePie suggested. I've been on the private school circuit since I was 11 and this is typical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-to-private-school-open-house#post-2777824 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 10:12:37 +0000 Truth Bombs 2777824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely business casual. Based on my experience as an alumna of a super fancy private school 😝 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-to-private-school-open-house#post-2777823 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 10:09:44 +0000 looch 2777823@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What time of the day is it? I would guess that it might be in the evening, which means if I were going from work, I'd be wearing whatever I wore to the office that day. If I were going today, I'd be wearing a pair of block heeled pumps, a printed navy and green pleated midi skirt and a navy twill moto blazer. And my backpack, lol. I'd need to bring my clutch, I suppose, so as not to look totally weird walking in with the backpack. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-to-private-school-open-house#post-2777822 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 10:03:29 +0000 SweetiePie 2777822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just wear something you’d wear to a business casual office or, like, church. A sheath dress or jersey wrap dress with flats or pumps and a cardigan. Or black skinny ankle pants with a sweater.<br /> Like I wouldn’t wear a suit or jeans, both of those are extremes to me. Something in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-wear-to-private-school-open-house#post-2777820 Thu, 05 Oct 2017 09:57:46 +0000 cat620 2777820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We live in a large city, and there are 3 top private schools that we are considering sending our son to. They are very competitive to get in, and they require a multi-step admissions process including an interview with the child and a cognitive assessment. These schools are amazing and offer the very best teachers, facilities and overall experience for the kids. </p> <p>I grew up in a small town and went to public school, so I am unfamiliar with the private school process. We are attending an open house tomorrow for one of the schools, and I don't know what to expect. I also don't personally no anyone who sends their kid there, so I thought I would post here to see if any other parents are familiar with private schools. What should I wear tomorrow? I don't want to be underdressed, but I also don't want to look overdressed and like I'm trying too hard. Are there any questions I should ask or anything I should be aware of before attending the open house? I appreciate any tips! </p>
