Classic Lit T-shirts

I really hope I end up teaching middle school English someday. When I do, I plan on having every single one of these literature t-shirts (click here to see all 44 of them from Outofprintclothing.com).

I posted this particular one to commemorate the great Ray Bradbury.

I think I should read "Something Wicked This Way Comes" to also commemorate him.

Anyway, I would love to wear one of these shirts with a classic black pant suit and spiky high heals. Just like this:

I'll wear the serious face, too!

Then I'll give any student extra credit who can out "lit-fashion" me. Like if someone comes in dressed as Holden Caulfield. Or Daisy Buchanan. 

Bonus points for anyone who pulls off a Scarlett O'Hara curtain wardrobe!

Best Purse Idea Ever

My friend has the best idea for purses and I had to steal this idea from her.

She uses a medium-sized clutch to hold all of her necessaries: wallet, cell, keys, checkbook. Then she just plops the clutch into whatever bigger bag she needs during the day. Gym bag, backpack, larger purse for traveling. It's genius! And I just had to copy her.

She recommended TJ Maxx so that is where I went and found this!

The clutch!

I have to admit, a clutch that zips shut instead of flaps over would be easier. It can become tricky at the grocery store's check-out stand. But then again, with using the clutch, you can always just put it in a larger purse so you can swing it around your shoulder.

All the important stuff inside.

I also have to admit that I feel more sophisticated carrying around a cute clutch. Placing it on the table at a restaurant also makes me feel important. Like, "Oh, excuse my clutch. I'm such a busy and important business woman that my bag must accompany us at dinner as well." And then I order the business woman special.

Watch.

So smart! Big thanks to Megs.
