I am SO excited because The Write Gal is getting a Spring Makeover. More details coming soon! I can’t wait. Hopefully it will inspire me to get back to regular posting. Sorry about last week. I was on Spring Break from school but did not feel very Spring-like myself. That is about to change.

Working at a college I see all kinds of hideous unique fashions. While some people wear the latest styles, there are others who just don’t get it. I feel compelled to post a few reminders of what NOT to wear. These are the latest fashion blunders I have witnessed.
1. Glamour Don’t: Sweatpants & Boots
If you are going to bum it in sweatpants, please do not try and “dress” up this horrid look by putting on your boots. How sad that there are people out there who are clueless about this rule. Sweatpants = Sneakers.
2. Glamour Don’t – FUR Crocs
The only shoes I hate worse than Crocs are the ones with FUR. These are just too ugly for words. Do I need to say it again? CROCS = YARD SHOES.
3. Glamour Don’t – Flip Flops and Socks
I guess people just can’t wait until the summer so they can wear flip flops again. If you are crazy enough to wear flip flops when it is 30 degrees, please don’t wear them with your socks. This is just wrong.
Do you have any Glamour Don’ts that need to go on the list?
The Mrs. from One Fabulous Mom posted this personality test on her blog (one of my faves!). She said her results “blew her mind” so I knew I had to take it to see for myself. I have to say this is right on the money. If you take the test be sure to let me know in a comment so I can go read and comment over at your blog. Here are my results:
Your personality type:
Serious and quiet, interested in security and peaceful living. Extremely thorough, responsible and dependable. Well-developed powers of concentration. Usually interested in supporting and promoting traditions and establishments. Well-organized and hard working, they work steadily towards identified goals. They can usually accomplish any task once they have set their mind to it.
Careers that could fit you include:
Business executives, administrators and managers, accountants, police, detectives, judges, lawyers, medical doctors, dentists, computer programmers, systems analysts, computer specialists, auditors, electricians, math teachers, mechanical engineers, steelworkers, technicians.
Since I have been a paralegal for most of my career I can say the profession fits me well according to this. Now I thoroughly enjoy teaching paralegal students which is a nice change from the stressful jobs I have had in the past. I would disagree with the suggested careers of a computer specialist/programmer (I am lucky I figured out blogging), steelworker (???), and math teacher (I hated Math in school). But the personality description sounds pretty accurate to me. (Ashley stop laughing at the “well organized” part. I am very organized about work–just not about my house LOL).
