I cleaned and packed the good ole' classroom today, so I wanted to be casual. I was asked by my father if I had worn this to work, since it's "a little casual." I laughed and let him know there was one other teacher, male, dressed slightly nicer than I. I have always had the theory that it is better to overdress than under dress for any and all occasions- even when moving boxes. Does anyone agree with me? Do you pick and choose when to dress up, or do you too try to be a little above the norm in all situations?

I think I tend to shoot for the middle ground in terms of casual/dressy. I do, however, admire you. I would have probably worn ratty jeans and a t-shirt...okay, so maybe that's a *slight* exaggeration, but I wouldn't have dressed as nice as you did. I'm thinking my husband (jr. hi. teacher) wore jeans and a polo to clean out his class room, too. :) Looks lovely on you! :)
ReplyDeleteI think you look great today. In fact, I have flagged this post in my goodle reader to remind me to try something similar soon.
ReplyDeleteI usually prefer to overdress most of the time. I'd rather show up as the person who dressed a little more stylishly than needed, than be the person who shows up in ratty sweatpants :)
ReplyDeletei love this look...must be because i love wearing bermuda shorts :) love the pops of red
