On Being a Homeschooler


Many people think homeschoolers are nerdy, sheltered, and socially awkward. This is true is some cases, but most of the people I know who have the privilege - yes, it's a privilege - of being educated at home are not like this. As with anyone, there are shy homeschoolers and out-going ones. That has more to do with personality than form of education, though.


Most homeschoolers are "socialized". Yes... "socialized"... Every homeschooler soon gets used to getting asked questions like "Do you have any friends?" "How do you find friends?" and "Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend?" the ultimate question of socialization. Just because we learn at home, does not mean that our parents never let us out of the house!

                                                                     
The homeschooler stereotype includes: camo, white sneakers, jean skirts and jumpers, plaid, Little House on the Prairie dresses, and duct tape. However, not all
homeschoolers are like this. In fact, being homeschooled gives us more freedom with our clothes, meaning that we don't have as much pressure from peers to dress "fashionably." Instead, we are able to explore our own style (within reason and modesty, of course).





There are many other reasons that homeschooling and homeschoolers are great, but I wouldn't want to make you non-homeschoolers jealous. :)

SHOES, SHOES, and more SHOES!

                                               Shoes, Shoes, and more Shoes!
                   So, you're walking around the mall with your friends and you see an awesome pair of shoes. You just have to have those shoes and you have the money for them right now. But before you buy them you realize, "What am I going to wear with these shoes?" This is a simple question and I can answer it.

AMBAR Women's Stretch Twill Skirt - Zebra Print

Xhilaration® Junior's Lace Fit & Flare Dress - Assorted Colors

So these are the shoes you saw at the mall. Gorgeous right? Of course! Any girl would love to have a pair of shoes like this. I would recommend wearing a jean skirt with a dark colored, modest, top. Use the finger rule for the skirt. Or you could wear a cute bright or dark colored dress. A shorter dress would be good. Remember the finger rule.

These shoes would go great with a cute jean dress such as in this picture
             


 or a light pink shirt and jeans like in this picture.
 
    There are many things you can do with shoes and clothes. You just have to know how to put them together.
