I have never been, let's say, a fashion icon. I have and pretty much do dress simply. I don't have a talent for putting pieces together in some snazzy, eye-catching way. Sometimes I secretly wish for some makeover show to ambush me and fix me. After living 30 years and never having that experience once, I have learned to adapt more and find little tricks to help me with my handicap.
Ever the English teacher, I feel that I need to cite my sources.
The other day someone noticed a nice sweater/undershirt combo. Works Cited: Gap Mannequin at Censored for Safety Mall.
The eighties-ish bangs that I now sport. Works Cited: English teacher at my school who looks oh-so-cute with her full-on set of bangs.
That little vest number with the rolled up jeans and boots. Works Consulted: Out-of-town visiting sister.
And the fashion du jour, a scarf wrapped around my neck (not for warmth, but for style). Works Cited: sister in Germany who found it, boxed it and sent it overseas to me.

You have a great style. It is really hard to be a fashion icon on a teacher's salary. Especially if you have kids. Don't beat yourself up. I think you look great!

Remember, NEVER wear black and navy blue together. NEVER. That's my fashion tip number one for the day.
And I'm not bragging (yes I am), but my students told me the other day I'm the most stylist teacher they know.
But today they told me teachers who had myspace and facebook pages were creepy. They said the blog was ok.
Holly, I am loving the bangs. How fun are they?
Did you know that the sister in Germany cut her own bangs now too.
...the only claim we have to living green is; we recycle the trends.
Now mom can cut our bangs again and they might look stylish this time around. I'll bet the poofy bangs cycle back around soon.
