The post title actually pertains to both my outfit and today’s story. I go to work each day, and teach my kids to the best of my ability, but what I didn’t realize is just how much they have been teaching me. They take such great joy in the little things. Every. Single. Day. I’m not saying it’s all rainbows and fluffy bunnies, trust me, we do have our off days. But even on the off days, they always find something to clap about. Literally. Anything that makes them happy gets a round of applause. Each morning one of my boys who has some particularly challenging issues, does the school announcements over the PA system. And each morning when he returns to class, every one of my kids claps and cheers for him. I never told them to do this. They just do. Our fabulous principal arranged for me to take all of them to see Cinderella and then go out to lunch. She got a round of applause when we told them about it, when she dropped by to visit us at the theater, and when we got back. My special education supervisor stopped in to observe our class today and he too got a round of applause. Why? Because they were simply happy to see him and excited that he was hanging out with us for awhile. He said that anytime he needs a self-esteem boost he knows to stop by our room because the kids never fail to make you feel better. The morale of the story? I think we could all take a page from their playbook and celebrate the things that bring us joy. Even if it is the little things.
Like I said, today’s outfit is all about the little things. The distressed skinny jeans and short sleeve baseball tee; not much of a thrill on their own. Comfortable? Yes. Cute? Yes. Worthy of a round of applause? No. But throw on a pair of Kuhfs, fringed wedge sandals and some bright neckbling and now we’re onto something. What are Kuhfs? Honestly, I hadn’t heard of them either until Amy Olson, the very sweet creator behind the idea, contacted me. I checked out the product on her website and I was intrigued. What they are is a fabric cuff designed to accessorize jeans, boots and leggings and give your look that extra little something. Each design is made in limited quantities so that you know you’re getting a unique look. You simply wrap the Kuhf around the leg of your jeans and secure it with the provided fastener and voila! Fancy pants. The inside of the Kuhf has two rubber-like strips that help the fabric to grip on to your pants and stay in place. They’re easy to use and you can quickly change the entire look of an outfit. You know you’re curious…so take a minute and browse the selection at Kuhfs.com.
