I am getting ready for work and can't help but feel obligated to these dry ass work clothes. Just last night I was tellin Chimi how square I feel when I have to go to work. I feel like I am in a box, trapped by black and grey slacks and whatever color blouse I wear. Most times, a cardigan is my saving grace.
What is more is that the place that I work is retail. Being a department store that has cheapened the merchandise it gets in, I don't feel like the dress code should be as strict as it is. After all, where I work is not a Bloomingdales, Nordstrom, nor Neiman Marcus. Anyhow, I have to find a way to step out of this box. Having tattoos isn't very helpful, but they're mine and I wouldn't trade them (laser them off), so I work around them. Its almost summer and less is better, but I have to consider professionalism and this stupid dress-code. Perhaps this is a challenge that myself and others can follow: Dressing cool, professional, and out of the box. Now I know Chimi did a professional attire challenge, but she didn't have a strict dress code to follow. Maybe she could help me out. Hmmm...
