Oh, fall. It is finally upon us here in the Natural State. I woke up this morning and looked out my dorm room window at a fog covered campus. After long awaited crisp, cool weather, I was happy to be able to pick a cute fall outfit! Unfortunately, here in Arkansas 65 degrees is considered fall weather. I can’t wait to actually be able to wear cute jackets with my boots and not burn up by the end of the day. But until then, I’ll soak in being able to wear riding boots and button-downs with the sleeves cuffed a couple times.
Today will be pretty busy. After classes I have a few errands to run around campus, including meeting with a professor about a possible internship. I figured I should dress in a way that would be appropriate for anything.
While most college students drag themselves to class on Mondays sporting yoga pants, sweatshirts, and ball caps, I personally like to dress nicely. I feel so much better when I know I look presentable. It starts my whole week off on the right foot. Mondays I especially dress cute, but I try to look at least decent every day of the week. It’s rare of me to wear sweats or yoga pants to class. I feel like it shows self-respect to dress nice. And I know that if I had spent many years and hundreds of thousands of dollars on an education, the last thing I would want to do is teach a bunch of kids in pajamas with their eyes glazed over. Look alive in your classes. Even if it’s only in dress.
