LastDay

Sometimes I love people's reactions.
Especially when they aren't forced but are just the spur of the moment.
They can be awkward. Oh can they be! But still, there's something nice about a genuine reaction.

Friday was my last official day of clinic before externship.
I had gotten all my paperwork finished on Thursday so I was good to go.
But I woke up and felt like I looked terrible.
And sometimes, when I feel like I look really terrible (and I mean Terrrrrrible), I try to compensate by getting extra ready.
Its a silly thing. Like doing my makeup or my hair and wearing clothes will change my appearance so much. But I occasionally I do it all the same.

I went to school. And the number of times that I wear real clothes to school is few and far between.
I ran into Derrick first. And he looks at me and goes "Do you have a date today? You're all dressed up."
And I laughed. No. No date. Just felt like wearing real clothes.
I ran a couple more errands and ran into Dee. She looks at me and goes "You look super great today. Do you have a date later?"
No. No date. Just felt like wearing real clothes.
I had forgotten I needed to get a crown sent out before I leave for externship so I was pouring up some models and one of my faculty wandered into the lab.
"Oh, you're wearing such nice clothes today!"
Yah. I forgot I needed to do some lab work and came to school in real clothes.
"Oh your blouse looks so delicate. Careful. I'd hate for you to wreck it."
And I laughed at how many people noticed what I was wearing and continued pouring up my models.
I ran into Lucinda as I was finishing up my school stuff.
"You look great Melissa! Do you have a date today?"
No. No date. Just felt like wearing real clothes.

It was a funny day at school. I guess wearing scrubs everyday will make any amount of extra effort I put in pretty noticeable. But I love that everyone thought I had a date. Nope. Just wearing regular ol' clothes. Just cause I own them and never get to wear them. I've actually been trying to figure out how to wear this blouse for months now. I impulse bought it for Matt's wedding but hadn't figured out how to wear it yet. 

And apparently it was worn with great success.
HA.

You did look really great! Love that outfit!

When we lived in Hawaii I loved that you can get by wearing basketball shorts and t-shirts. Whenever I'd wear jeans or use hairspray my kids would get excited -thinking we were going to town! (Wal-mart and Costco)

Nope.. just felt like wearing real clothes today. :)

Love ya!

I love your style. And wish I had more opportunities to wear real clothes. And looked like you when I wore them. When we're both dentists, and by both I obviously mean when I'm married to one and you're one, can we go shopping and impulse buy some wonderful wardrobe changes?
