i know what you're probably thinking -- what the hell can this slightly nerdy 22 year old teach my about fashion? the answer, despite watching E!'s Style Police with religious fervor, is absolutely nothing. basically, i created this blog because while i don't think my wardrobe is particularly boring, i know i don't make the best use of it. and i'd really like to. mainly so i can snag a husband (half-way kidding). what better time to start experimenting with style than the brand new, fresh school year? and this school year is particularly special, because not only will i be a student, i'll also be a student teacher. that means dress codes and professionalism and outfits that allow me to chase after twenty-odd second graders. so that's what this blog will be -- a detailed journal of this crazy year through outfits. and lunches, did i mention that? aside from looking trendy and polished, i'll be attempting to eat in a much more healthful way, courtesy of my new bento lunch box. it's a teensy lunchbox with the potential to make me skinny. so i'll be detailing those as well.

essentially, this is a low-caliber "food" and "fashion" blog, and hopefully it will meet my (and your) low expectations.
