Second week of classes and I am still trying to impress students with my cool, fashionable aesthetic LOL! And I wanted to wear my white pants before Labor Day although fashion magazines are stating it is now okay to wear white AFTER Labor Day.

On a very, very sunny Sunday my hubster and I drove up the coast for a little relief. Lots of fun stops at the Dana Point Harbor, Huntington Beach Pier and Crafted ( see WeSew blog ) in San Pedro.
We might have escaped the heat but, lots of people and crowds.

This semester I am an instructor AND a student. 

I am taking a millinery class and am so, so, excited.

I also vow to wear a different hat to class each week.

This is week 1 hat...

Today is the first day of classes for the Fall semester. I made a conscience effort to appear adult, intelligent, authoritative and, of course, fashionable. Did my disguise succeed?
