It's the best part of my day: coffee time. A little breath of fresh air and caffeine in the middle of the hustle and bustle of my otherwise crazy Monday. This is my me time to sneak in a little pleasure reading, pleasure writing, or the homework I've been putting off for the last week, all while sipping a delicious liquid conveyer of my life force.
Today, however, my true love turned on me and my attempt at fashion. The lid of my coffee was loose and popped off mid-sip, allowing a menacing splash of coffee to plop onto my dress.
Well crap.
Fortunately, I was running late this morning and had decided to drive my car instead of bike to school today. Unfortunately, I recently removed a large supply of garments from my car in an effort to keep it clean like a grown-up….
All that could be found in my car was a cardigan, necklace, and headband. So, this isn't the most prepared I could be, but it was just enough to scrape by. Under my spoiled dress I had on leggings and a slip… though a rather sexier slip than I hoped to show off to my classmates…
I threw the cardigan on over the slip, added the necklace and headband in an effort to make my "look" seem more intentional, and applied the most essential adornment to makeshift outfits: confidence. A quick strut to my classroom and I was safely tucked beneath my desk with no further embarrassment.
