"Ms. Wo, you have so many styles!" That is the first greeting I received from a student in the hallway today. As I trudged to my classroom, I considered the legitimacy of this claim. Yesterday, I wore tall, patterned wedges, a sleeveless sweater, a shirt with fun sleeves, and shorts. Today, I'm wearing a white skirt with my Converse sneakers and bicycle necklace. Tomorrow, I might wear gray slacks with a blazer. Kid, you're right: I do have so many "styles." Of course, I would say that I just like to experiment, for which I suppose this blog can take quite a bit of credit.
Although posting pictures of my outfits sometimes seems vain ("everybody, come see how good I look!"--one of the only Will Ferrel quotes I like) and often makes me feel pressured not to be "boring" in what I wear, it also encourages me to think differently about what's in my closet and allow it to verbalize how I'm feeling that day. Today, I felt fun and funky, much like Punky Brewster, an allusion I hope is not lost on you, dear reader.
Anyway, I'm walking to the gym and then doing some yoga. I wish I were as cool as I sometimes make myself sound.
I call this my "everybody, come see how good I look!" pose.
I should not make myself laugh as much as I do, but there you have it.
Mom: "Twirl!" Me: ..............this.
I wore this skirt way back when I started this blog, and it went something like this:
This picture sort of makes me think about cutting my hair a bit shorter. Hmm... (I just checked. This post is from just about
two years ago!)
