Today, I was told by one of my students that I'm in need of a trim, because the back of my head looks pretty shaggy.

So I gave her an F on her math test.

Just kidding. :)

Anyway, I wore this skirt (yes, again) because the black brocade one I had planned on wearing fell off my clothes rack and was slept on by a certain kittehh last night. The vest I got at a thrift store yonkers ago, but only got around to wearing it today. Same story with the brooch.

Speaking of which... The brooch is very cute, and I was excited to actually wear a piece of my jewelry. However, kids are very grabby, and I guess a tiny guitar is enough temptation to make them forgo decorum and lunge into their teacher's personal space bubble, "just to see if the strings are real."

I also realized a pretty exciting thing today: since the start of the school year, I have only bought one outfit off the rack, but even that was marked down. I haven't paid full price for any work clothes, at all. Annnd, I haven't worn the same outfit twice. I've mixed and matched a few basics: the black skirt, the white tee, my shoes...but so far I've worn an entirely new mix every day of work since August 22. And, I have enough outfits planned to make it a whole month...all either from that dark place in the back of my closet, or various thrift stores. So, thank you wardrobe remix!
