I Am Not Smarter Than a 4th Grader

Seriously. I had completely forgotten how to convert fractions to decimals without doing long division. Oddly, I remember how to do long division. When my son's 4th grade teacher showed me the conversion shortcut (multiplying up to a more easily divisible number), I was like, "Ohhhhh, yeah. I totally remember that now." *cough* Right.

I volunteered at my sons' school this week. I'm going to roll two outfits into one post. It's my own blogging shortcut. Let's just pretend that these two looks are somehow similar and part of the highly sartorial world of elementary school volunteering. The first look got compliments from the teachers, and the second outfit was popular among 4th graders. You know, it is a bit more youthful. One budding 10 year old fashionista declared the mix of seafoam green and cobalt a "surprising but pretty combination." Hire this woman, Elle!

The Birds Remind Me

I was reluctant, but I finally decided to jump on the '90s fashion revival bandwagon. This is something I easily could have worn in high school, right down to the dress's bird print. I'm also digging the metal zipper; I like little details like an interesting zipper. The oxfords are my favorite part; they conjure up so much nostalgia for all those chunky 1990s shoes! Should I get a pair of creepers next? Hmm....
