Dress Challenge Day 2

Yesterday I confessed to buying the 90 Words Per Minute Dress from Shabby Apple and mentioned that as a reminder to not slip up again during the final two weeks of the ban I was challenging myself to wear it five times in the next two weeks.  Well, I also wore it for a second time yesterday.  I have mentioned in the past that I like to dress a bit more authoritatively when I'm discussing something potentially risque or scandalous in class.  Well, yesterday I thought it might just be a good day to add a touch of authority to my outfit with my velveteen blazer¹ since in my Reformation class we were discussing some legal ordinances and Consistory records from sixteenth-century Geneva, and a lot of them had to do with adultery and fornication.

Again, it's not so much that I think a blazer automatically invests me or anyone else with authority (although they definitely don't hurt), but wearing one does make me feel confident and also somehow reminds me not to snicker every time I read or say the word "fornication." I sense the blazer will make another appearance when we deal with similar records from the Scottish kirk sessions later in the term.

Nope, I didn't giggle one bit.  Ok, maybe we all laughed a little at what my students termed the "circumstantial evidence" presented in one of the cases.... 

Are you an academic with a closet stuffed full of blazers?  For those of you who wear dresses, have you done the dress with blazer pairing?  Did you like it?
