I’ve spent the last few days carefully selecting just the right articles of clothing to pack for a trip to San Antonio, Texas.  We’ll be attending a family wedding and visiting friends so I can’t quite explain why the clothing I pack is so important, but it is.  I’m certain that each of you reading this blog have been through this same selection process many times.  Am I right?

Well, it reminded me of the song What To Wear by Taylor Swift so that’s today’s addition to the FACS Soundtrack.  If you teach wardrobe planning, you might find these resources helpful.

She’s looking in the mirror
The moments getting nearer
She thinks about it as she walks her walk
Up and down the staircase
Makeup fresh on her face
She thinks about it as she talks her talk
School dance, first chance, always been a dreamer
There’s one guy, she’s shy, sees him through the mirror
And everybody looks at her,
She thinks about it

Blue dress angel face, looking in the mirror,
Shoes,purse, hair tied back and you should see her,
Shes got her magic, floating through the air,

Peace,Love,One thing leads into another
Dream big,Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She’s got her hopes up
Got ‘em up to there
Wonderin’ what to wear

She’s standing in her bedroom
He’ll be pullin’ up soon
She thinks about it as she sees headlights
Looking out the window she’s got her diary to show
That she’s been waiting for this all her life
First date,can’t wait
Lookin’ in the mirror
Heart all wrapped up
Wait until he sees her
He’s lookin’ right at her
She thinks about it

Sixteen blue jeans Abercrombie t-shirt
Shoes purse hair tied back and you should see her
She’s got her magic floating through the air

Peace, Love,One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She’s got her hopes up
Got ‘em up to there
Wonderin’ what to wear

The years went by
The mirror saw her cry
She got up again
She got up again
The wind blew by the small town lights
She got up again

Move out
Find out where the world can take her
Bright lights late nights livin’ for the greater
Move to Paris livin’ on a prayer

Peace, Love,One thing leads into another
Dream big, Aim small
Man you gotta love her
She’s got her hopes up
Got ‘em up to there
She’s got her hopes up
Got ‘em up to there
Wonderin’ what to wear
Ooo Ooo
Wonderin’ what to wear

The video for this song is not available on You Tube, but you can buy it from Amazon.com for a small fee.

I’ll be signing off until after the Memorial Day holiday!  Hope you have a great weekend.

On the surface this song seems like it’s just a fun little tune.  However, if you listen closely to the lyrics you learn that it’s really the story of a proud parent and a baby being reared under unusual circumstances.  Could stimulate some classroom discussion in a parenting class.  Hope you find it useful.

Good parents aren’t found only in traditional home settings.

Tootsie roll soul and doodle-white shoes
Papa’s sure proud of his little bitty rockin’ roll baby
Singin’ at the age of two
He can hardly talk but he sure knows how to sing the blues

Little Joe never sings out of tune
Always in key, he’s a soulful little rockin’ roll baby
Papa loves the way you do
Never heard a boy sing the way my little Joey do

He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia
His ma and I were travelin’ on the road
I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer
One-night stands weren’t easy for little Joe

Bought a new house in Beverly Hills
Papa made it big and he did it for his rockin’ roll baby
A little bit of rhythm and blues
Got a funky walk in his little orthopedic shoes

He was born in a theater in Bluefield, West Virginia
His ma and I were travelin’ on the road
I worked hard all that summer as a fill-in for the drummer
One-night stands weren’t easy for little Joe
