Anyhow, of course I wore a dress. I was really thinking yesterday about wearing some gym shorts and a tank top but then was inspired to go to Old Navy after work yesterday to see if they had any cute (and school appropriate) shorts. Instead I found a gauzy field day dress. It turned out to be a good pick and combined with my flouncy straw hat I stayed relatively cool. My third graders however, complained every other minute...
Oh, and a few of my girls told me my hat looked like an old lady. I kinda took that as a compliment.
Dress-old navy $30, Hat-(similar to this)$18
I laughed out loud about your girls telling you that you looked like an old lady. I don't know that I've gotten that one before, although I've gotten a slew of although-without-malice backhanded compliments from my kids. (Okay, the kid who looked me in my face while I was helping him with a math problem and said, "Eww, shouldn't you be wearing makeup?" had some malice behind it. I was indeed make-uped.) I have a pretty kind class this year though. I have one kid that told me I looked like "a beautiful detective" every time I wore my long wool coat in the winter.
