OMG! I spent time looking at FASHION!

Okay, today I attended a professional development workshop. It was actually quite good and I got a lot out of it.  I am always amazed at the variety of approaches people, even teachers, take towards mathematics. I am just amazed at some of the explanations....but I loved every minute of it. The hardest part was just focusing on process and not DOING it...the focus was on the variety of processes we can use, versus the  solution. ANd I love the process, but I love to work out the algebra and it drove me nuts that they kept stopping me from playing with the solution choices.

So, what does all this have to do with fashion you ask. Well, I am going to be taking on more professional development work this year, as a presentor, so I feel I need to start dressing a bit more professionally. I like comfort but I would like to look more put together than tunics and jeans. So, as I was at the math presentation today, I noticed one of the presenters looked put together, but comfy and casual. She was wearing a pair of capris, but flared and a hankerchief cut jacket in a soft linen like look and then a nice fitted tee. add some jewelry and she looked fabulous. No, not dressy, but still professional enough for this kind of presentation.

So I went online looking for some options...OH MY..I have to share one or two with you...because they were on this designer site and you just won't believe the cost...but I copied them, thinking maybe I could get some kind of knock offs. I also found a FABULOUS site for plus sized tights...now that may not sound like a big deal to some of you little girls, but us big girls often have our circulation cut off by tights. I have been know to spend $40 for a pair of SPANKS tights because they are so comfy.

So here are my three favorite looks:

I love all 3 looks, but get this, look #1 is over $1200, I think #2, top only is $785, and look #3 is $1000, if I remember correctly. Shoottt...that is only $3000 for 2.5 outfits...well, I guess I could mix and match. OMG, I think the sweater in 3 is the same as the one in1...oh my, better go back and choose another top!
