How to Develop a Personal Style [Tuesday]
"Good morning!" Irene sang out, when students entered the Danger Shop this morning. They'd all been notified by an email the night before -- though, pragmatic Irene had also thought to stick a handwritten note to her usual classroom's door. "We won't always meet in here, but I thought it might be fun -- particularly since I've never gotten to play much in here."
Priorities.
The students would find themselves, in any case, in a very snowy landscape, with a warmly-lit building nearby. And, unless they were still wearing anything they might have put on to face the actual cold outdoors in the real world, they'd probably notice quite quickly that Irene had programmed the room to be just to the south of freezing. Didn't want that snow to melt, guys! Which was why Irene herself was decked out in a pair of black leggings, a warm wool deep green coat, a pair of over-the-knee boots, warm leather gloves and a pair of warm -- if vaguely silly -- earmuffs.
"Bonjour, and welcome to the Alps, mes amies," Irene said, spreading her hands wide. "I thought we might start with something fairly topical, this time of year -- and rather than drag you all outside with a rack of clothes, this seemed like a more fun option. Behind me, there, is a boutique. Inside you'll find a wide variety of coats, hats, gloves and scarves. I want you all to run in there -- feel free to take your time, there's a fire lit -- and find something that appeals to you. Then, come outside, and test it."
She crossed her arms, looking a little sheepish. "I am not always known for dressing the most practically," she admitted, "but it's definitely an incredibly important aspect of fashion. All the cashmere in the world isn't worth a damn thing if it doesn't actually serve half its purpose and keep you warm." She smiled, adding, "The other half is to look good, of course, but you need both. When you've settled on what you think works, feel free to come outside and play in the snow. See how things hold up. If they don't, that's fine, and you can maybe try again. If they do -- then awesome. You get to build a snowman or something."
(Sorry, Anna.)
