I just came back from town. I forced Rickard and Maja (who didn't need to be forced really) to come along when I went jeans-shopping. So, I have now bought my first jeans for at least ten years and the tightest since the 80s. Mind you, then you couldn't get jeans with any stretch in Sweden. These have 3% elasthane, which makes them much more comfortable. I doubt I would have been able to fit my calves in them otherwise. You can also see my new shoes:

Thanks! And those shoes were just too fun not to buy. I think I'll wear them for my first class this year. I was told durign my teacher's education that one should try to dress up a little for teaching so that the students would have something nice to look at. Of course, she was thinking of old-lady trousers and knit twinsets.

*lol* I see absolutely nothing wrong with dressing up the classroom with funky shoes. If anything, it'll give you icebreakers with the students, and you'll be "that cool professor"! ;)

In an effort to feel more like myself while dressed up in front of the class, I always wore interesting goth accessories with my pinstripes or button-downs. Made me feel more comfortable, and I think it amused my students, too. :)

Since I tend to go through phases in my dressing, for instance two years ago I had a victorian period with long wide skirts, blouses and combs stuck in a braided bun at the back of myhead. And I don't mean gothic victorian, but real. The skirts weren't long and wide enogh of course, but the blouses were made after period examples. This spring I was surprisingly enough inspired by contemporary fashion and right now I'm influenced by the fifties. So I guess they think I'm schizofrenic.
