If you know me well, you know that I'm not a dress-person. I'm not the supergirly type and I have difficulties being ladylike. Well, a post in www.catholicyoungwoman.blogspot.sg reminded me of the importance of trying to behave like a lady.
To be honest, it's difficult! My first rolemodel is Sharmini. She said, since young, her dad did not allow her to wear jeans to Sunday Mass. Okay this one is not only for girl, but anyway, her parents teach her to dress well for Mass, to receive the Lord, and I notice that she always wears dress for Mass.
My difficulty is as much as I want to try to dress 'a little bit' better or to behave more ladylike, I'm too used to my "old-self". I keep giving excuse to myself: "Oh because I'm doing research on children, it's very hard to wear skirt or dress." or "Oh my colleagues do not use make-up, so it's very weird if I start putting on make-up", and so on and so forth.
Anyway, yesterday, I wore a dress to a preschool because the only 2 blouses left are the same blouses that I wore in the previous week to that particular preschool!!! Hahahaha. The cute thing is the K1 kids walked pass me and said, "I love your dress."
These kids ah..always make me smile. At that moment, I promised to dress more appropriately even though I'm doing "field work". Kids do notice when you dress appropriately or not! Of course you won't wear tight skirt in the kindergarten and run experiment, hahaha, but there are still blouses or skirts or dress or a simple hairpin that makes you a bit different, makes the kid happy, then at the end, tradaaaa...they will cooperate when you run the experiment. HAHAHAHAHA..
new motivation to spare a little money next month for a new cheap working dress :P
