Fashion: Power Skirt




On Wednesday morning, one of my bosses spotted me in the teacher lunch room and asked if everything was okay.  She said that I didn't look like myself lately.  "I know you're not a hugger," she said, "but sometimes we just need a hug."  It was true.  I'm not a hugger, but I did need a hug.  And a cookie. 

I don't like to talk about the details of school or my personal life on this blog, so I'll leave out why I was so stressed, but some days you do need a hug and a cookie.  And on those days, you also need your power-skirt. 

A power-skirt is a little bit like a power tie and a little bit like a power animal.   No matter how nervous or scared you are, your skirt says "Seriously?  You're gonna mess with me when I'm wearing a cobalt blue skirt?  You don't have the guts to wear this skirt!"

Of course, it doesn't have to be a tie or a skirt.   It's the item in your closet that makes you feel like no one can mess with you.

Don't be surprised if you see this skirt two days in a row--parent teacher conferences are tonight!

What item of clothing makes you feel unstoppable?

I'm so sorry to hear you're having a poopy go of things lately- you'll be happy to know that your outfit really does ooze strength. I am a cobalt fanatic and am so envious of the fit and color of yours! My power article is a simple pearl necklace- classic, simple; but a strong woman who knows what she's doing wears pearls.
Hope conferences go off without a hitch!
