About The Teacher's Boutique

Hi! My name is Alisa and I'm the owner of The Teacher's Boutique. I am also a 3rd grade teacher, wife, and mom of 3.

I started in the boutique business in 2013 as a way to earn a little extra income for our family. And to be perfectly honest, I have dabbled in a little bit of everything - from personalized gift items to children's clothing to custom t-shirts to women's clothing. So much of it just didn't feel right. It just wasn't "for me." I wasn't finding any joy in it.

So I began asking myself who I wanted to serve, who I wanted to help in this journey. How could I make a difference? Finally, it came to me that I should focus teachers. Duh! I am a teacher. I know what teachers need and want when it comes to clothing and fashion. But more importantly, I realized that I could use my business to encourage and uplift teachers. Now, more than ever, teachers feel so discouraged, frustrated, tired, and undervalued. What if I could ease some of the burden, lighten their load? So I decided to jump on the idea of The Teacher's Boutique!

One part of my mission with the boutique is to help teachers find great outifts that not only make them look fabulous but that are also comfortable enough to last them through their long days . We all know that as a teacher your day doesn't end with the 3 o'clock bell. Many of you teach after-school classes, tutor, coach a sport, or sponsor a club. Many of you are also parents; therefore, once your school day finishes, your mom duties kick in. You are chasing little ones at home or chauffeuring kids to ball practice, cooking dinner, walking the dogs, grocery shopping, cleaning...your to-do list never ends! You need clothes that are comfortable enough to last ALL day! 

The second part of my mission with the boutique is to give love and encouragement to my fellow teachers. I want to encourage teachers and give them the strength to keep going on hard days, celebrate with them on the joyous days, and grow friendships with them each and every day. 

I am so glad you are here and hope that we can become lifelong friends! Welcome to The Teacher's Boutique! 

xoxo

Alisa
