Style Icon: Mr. Rogers


Mr. Roger's Neighborhood was my very favorite show as a little kid. I loved him. I loved the Neighborhood of Make Believe. I loved the time they went to the crayon factory. I loved, loved, loved the opera episodes.


Mr. Rogers was so accepting and loving. I actually look to him as an adult too because he had such smart things to say about kids and about kindness. Mr. Rogers was all about us all being special in our own special way. It's so true! We all are! He was also all about learning, and the summer before I became a teacher I listened to this over and over:




It was my teaching mission statement. It still is! "There are so many things to learn about in this world and so many people who can help us learn."


Plus he had great style. He was a very consistent guy. Came home, put on his cardigan and his Keds and talked to his neighbors. Mr. Rogers, he just makes me happy.

Mr. Rogers was actually amazing. I've recently begun to realize just how wise he was, and to appreciate his abundance of genuine kindness. The crayon episode was my favorite!!

We didn't have Mr Rogers over here, but anyone who wears such great knitwear has to be a good guy!
