Ahhhhh....THE RAIN! Once again, much like Saturday, it is raining! I ADORE the rain, I am THANKFUL for the rain...I just would LOVE for the rain to happen on a Saturday when I can sleep in and be cozy. Unlike many professions, teachers get to interact with people who turn into crazies whenever water falls from the sky. The concept of "it's not cool to be soaking wet all day" has not quite "sunk in" with my 9th graders. Therefore, my classroom ends up muddy and smelling like a wet poodle. Yuck. However, just because they like to get all uncomfortable and freezing does not mean that I do not do everything in my own personal power to remain dry! (besides jumping in this puddle for my daily photo shoot!) Hence, my outfit today:
1. I topped my outfit off with my cream colored "fancy hoodie" from Forever 21. Most hooded jackets tend to be on the more casual side, and while they are SO COMFY, they aren't necessarily appropriate to wear with a fancy Dress such as the one I have been wearing :) Therefore, THIS particular "hoodie" is perfect for a couple of reasons. The first being that it has "faux" buttons that make it appear to a double breasted coat (does that make sense?...kind of like a PeaCoat) and the second being that it has cute little ruffles on the front. I LOVE THE RUFFLES ON THIS JACKET! It is so cute and so functional. I can really wear this coat with jeans, a dress, pajamas---the options are seemingly endless! LOVE!
2. Next I wore TWO (that's right, 2!) pairs of tights today---because it's raining and cold! These hot pink tights are actually footless (so fun!) and sometimes I wear them with gladiator sandals....adorbs! I also dug my GALOSHES (aka my rainboots---fancy word, right?) out of my closet in honor of all of the puddles. Also, I needed to NOT wear my brown and black boots AGAIN! :)
***Check out the iPhone weather application....I am addicted to checking the weather on an hour by hour basis. I even have the weather options on my phone set to check the Berkeley weather (in honor of Wes!) and Etna weather (in honor of Renee!)---what can I say? I just like to be prepared!***
3. I also wore my cute neon green summer scarf just to keep my neck extra warm (and let's be real here people, I LOVE a POP! of color.) Also, a coincidence it is NOT that my umbrella and scarf match! Accessories are kind of my "thing", friends! To top off the whole look I wore my blue "bonnet" (knitted hat); my friend Scott HATES this hat and always threatens to burn it. I cannot for the life of me figure out why he hates it so much, but I find a certain level of happiness everytime I wear it and think of how much it annoys him! (such a brat I am! xoxo Scooter)
A student told me "Miss Davis, you look like a rainbow today!" What a compliment! (or at least I will take it to be a compliment!) I am not as magnificent as a "Double Rainbow" (please tell me you've seen THAT YouTube video....hilarity!) but I am still pretty colorful today. Just what I aspire towards---colorful and fun! Even if the day is gloomy, I have no excuse to be gloomy. All I need to do is glance at myself in the mirror and my day is automatically brighter---CRAZY OUTFIT! For a CRAZY WEATHER DAY!P.S. Only 8 more days! Wow! I can't believe that I have already accomplished 22 days of this madness! I must admit, dressing up like this everyday has made me yearn for my jeans and sweatshirt days! I AM looking forward to being able to do that again....until then, I press on! Here's to being Fabulous and Ridiculous!
