No, I am not denying the family-connection to the trio in whose house Goldilocks squatted but an attempt to prepare you for an outfit which bears little relation to the outfit above- this week's Twobirds Inspiration. I confess, I don't like this outfit: I really don't like leather trousers, showing black underwear under a white top (which looks like a net curtain rather than tasteful lace) and those shoes! However, I am usually game for anything so I tried...
This is a chilled-out version, suitable for teaching 4 year olds. The jacket (H&M) is that sort of denim-twill material and the top (unironed- I can't possibly iron EVERY Monday!) DOES have a lacy collar. I found it really hard taking full length photos tonight- the light in the garden was crazily bright, washing everything out and erradicating even the slightest contrasts and details between skin and top. I wasn't even going to attempt tight trousers so you have bird print trousers I've been wearing all weekend! (euggrh, I hear you cry! Tis MOST unusual for me!) Toms were the only possible footwear to suit this casual outfit!
The children have made lots of comments on my appearance today. A 4-year old boy told me he liked me trousers, a year 6 girl said I looked like I was wearing pajamas, another year 6 girl asked me if I'd had my hair cut (errr, yes,3 weeks ago and you only notice now I've straightened it hence it being longer, and some of it pinned back!) etc. It was a hard afternoon with year 6 this afternoon. We were learning a new gamelan tune and despite lots picking it up and playing really nicely in time with each other in many cases, they had to spoil it by just generally being obnoxious and rude when they weren't playing! They make me so cross sometimes- they have the ability but they waste their talent! Oh how the parable of the talents seems appropriate!!! There are some children in those classes who I just WISH could be in another class- they ALWAYS listen and never get sucked into the silliness but they always suffer!
Did you have a nice weekend? I did but I'll tell you more about that soon!x
