A Recent (Classy) Outfit

lolakimono · ‎03-29-2012

As many of you know, I switched schools this year to have a leadership role. I have many upperclassmen, and some of them readily express their opinions and share what their plans are upon graduation. One girl, who just turned 18, is always talking about wanting a boyfriend and having babies. She often wears clothing that is too tight/short for school. I am hoping that she does graduate and that she will continue with her education, so I have been talking to her about that a lot.

Last week I wore an outfit that she hadn't seen before. I see her every other day. She commented that she really liked my outfit and that she thought it was "classy." I could see the wheels turning. I told her about the dress, and where she could find it, so we'll see if she starts dressing in a manner that will attract the kinds of things/people that match her future goals.

Hopefully, she'll stay in school. I know when I was in school a lot of girls that age wanted to have kids and be married. I could never understand why so soon. I mean we have our whole lives to be adults and serious why not enjoy being young for a while. My sisters were very young when they married also, always made me feel like i was the odd duckling. I was always the opposite, didnt wanna marry, wanted a career and independence. I was told im too independent for my own good. Well, life brings you what you need when you need it most. A balance is always a good thing.

Btw, love your input on fashion. I have those boots in a different color and they are the most comfortable boots ever. I wear them all the time! Are you in fashion design school by any chance? Sorry im not up to date.

I teach Spanish.

I have the Keen boots in the purple shade and the green shade. I originally started investing in boots a few years ago because I had outside duty at 7:30, and it would take a few hours for my toes to get feeling again after standing outside in the cold. The Keens are great because I can wear them all day in any weather, yet they feel like wearing sneakers.

They are amazing! I have them in the green as well. It's a nice shade of green, IMO.
