How to Develop a Personal Style [Tuesday]
Today, students were instructed to meet in the Danger Shop, where they'd find that Irene had programmed a beautiful, sunny, relaxing beach -- complete with cabanas.
(There had been a moment where she had nearly programmed beds into the cabanas, but Irene wasn't quite that poor an example.)
"I apologize for my absence last week," she greeted them, waving. Despite the theme of today's lesson, Irene had wisely opted to cover up more than she might have -- it didn't seem an apt time to go parading about in a swimsuit in front of her students, somehow. (They'd get enough of that on spring break, next week, anyway -- and hopefully this...whatever it was that was in the air would have dissipated by then.) "And I apologize even more, because this week we're covering swim and vacation wear, in light of the trip. I could postpone it, but wouldn't that be silly?"
It would be at least as silly as trying on swimwear during an island-wide hormone surge, sure.
"In any case, each of the cabanas is outfitted with all sorts of swimsuits and coverups, for both sexes -- as well as shoes and accessories. Go wild, try things on -- that's why they have curtains, by the way -- and then feel free to come out and...sun yourselves for the rest of the hour. Play in the ocean. If you feel the need to leave and dispense of any excess energy, please do feel free -- you won't be penalized."
If any of their teachers were going to understand, after all....

Re: Try on swimwear! [2/17]
But this week was most assuredly not normal, and so rather than her usual style, Kathy found herself trying on very different kinds of suits. Two-pieces, mostly, still bright colors, but all solids, no crazy patterns. She felt a lot like she had at the dance--older, more mature and sophisticated.
It wasn't until she had her phone out to snap a few selfies and send them to a couple of cute guys with a invitation to go 'shopping for break,' that she realized that maaaaybe she wasn't thinking with her brain. She tossed her phone back in her purse, flung a knitted cover-up and stalked outside. She was going to sun herself like a lizard and pretend that she didn't exist below the collarbone, dammit.
