Frumpy English Teacher
School's back in session:
Nothing makes you feel like a frumpy English teacher like being told that you need fashion advice by a bunch of 8th graders. Maybe I do need fashion advice. Or maybe what I really need is a larger salary. Oh, the shopping I could do if only I had the funds...
And besides, do I want to take their hair advice? Do I want to wake up and spend hours with a curling iron when I could be sleeping/reading/sipping coffee? Here, a resounding, "No! Bleep that bleep!"
Finally, do I want to encourage young adolescent crushes on teacher? No. So let my hair be frizzy, let my sweaters clash with my earings, let the makeup dry out in its drawer at home!
(Everyone reading this does realize that tonight I will choose my outfit carefully, including matching jewelry, re-examine it, question it, mull it over, try it on, and then laugh at myself.)
If only I could wear hoodies and jeans to work!!!!

Are you kidding me!? I guess it's been a while since I've seen you, but I feel like you have the best fashion sense of anyone I know. In intimidating fashion moments I have sometimes found myself thinking, "hmm, what would Jessica wear?" Seriously.
Miss you!
I have to agree with j, have always thought you have a comfortable sense of self and style. Never really found myself thinking, "hmm, what would Jessica wear?" But then you are a girl and I reserve cross dressing for special occasions. Wondered a few times what would Antonio Banderas wear. You would be surprised that while all in black and jangly, cowboy boots and spurs may seem like a good idea at home you can suddenly find yourself feeling a little out of place walkin' down Main Street.
