The Rule of Threes

If you want your students to disregard your hours of preparation and write things like, "I like teacher's clothes" on your evaluations, I've got a tip for you; think three. Three interesting pieces on top, that is. Start by not thinking too much.

Grab a couple items that you think kind of match, but haven't tried together before-- it helps if you're really pressed for time.
Then add another piece that you think makes it special. Normally you would probably be done, but this is where it gets interesting. Take a bold leap and grab something else. Edit in the mirror, but usually after this step you'll just be admiring your creativity.
I know some of you are way ahead of me on this. For you, know that I've been watching, taking notes, and trying to copy you.

  1. What about when it's 112 degrees out? Do I still have to wear three layers? :(

  2. Oh... thanks! I've been wanting to get "I like teacher's clothes" on my evaluation.... but some how I think I'll get "Teacher looks like a clown." I can't pull it off like you! :)
