Fashion Dos and Don'ts

Monday was my first day of work. I'm currently a preschool teacher. I'm learning that I don't really like working with preschoolers. I also don't really like working with teenagers. I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't like working with adults either. Perhaps I just don't like working.

Anyway, I wore a skirt (stupid I know, but my jeans had just been in a mudslinging accident with a two year old) and tights. About 2 hours into the day I realized I had a huge hole in my tights. Like "make me look like a homeless person" hole. I couldn't see it because it was on the back of my leg and somehow when I put them on my foot didn't got through the hole, so perhaps it wasn't there the whole day.

Anyway, once I learned of the hole, I discarded said tights in the bathroom. But now, my legs were bare. Well, except for the skirt and the knee high boots I was wearing. There was approximately 1 inch of bare skin showing.

I went into my local store and the clerks stared at me. I was dressed nicely, just lacking in hosery. I looked back at them. I was all "What! WHAT? You're staring at me because I have 1 inch of skin showing? Agnieszka looks like a hooker and you're staring at ME?!?!?!"

She does too. I'll try to get a picture.

    I always think the best thing to ear with kids is a protective plastic coverall.

  3. Maybe the clerk was staring because she was in awe of your beauty?

  5. Wow. If someone is wearing knee-high boots and a skirt at or just above the knee, I wouldn't even know if they were wearing tights or not! (And who CARES?) It's funny what people will notice and stare at. Gee whiz...

  6. I suspect you had a particularly attractive one-inch of leg that was showing. Other women's one inch would be ignored, but yours is unignorable.

    I made all that up, just so I could type "unignorable."

  7. Funny! What do you think the shopkeepers would have thought about holey stockings instead? Great adventures!
