fashion faux pas

So this happened before...in fact it happened about 5 times in the first month. There would be a big important (i.e. formal) event at one of my schools. All of the staff would be wearing a suit and I would show up looking like a slob, prepared for a normal day of work. Nobody ever gives me warning about these days. And usually what makes it worse is that I have to give a speech of some sort in front of 500 people. Generally, I am given 15 minutes to prepare what I will say. These are the moments that I am eternally grateful to my highschool speech teacher, Mr. Sassenberg. Of course decent public speaking abilities can't cover the fact that I am wearing a Paul Frank "Julius" t-shirt and army shorts in a room full of suits.

Today, was only different, in that I didn't have to actually speak. Today, I just had to stand in front of the entire Elementary school...all 450 kids, looking like a fool in my pink yoga pants (they are totally warm) and "dressy" sweatshirt (an oxymoron I know...but its what i tell myself in order to get out of bed in the morning.) in and amongst a pool of black suits.

I love communication barriers;)
