LAST-TO-POST #13 Calling all Posting Gals and Guys of the Lasting Kind.....

Hope you can get the ones you want on sale
I've gradually collected enough clothes now as 'normal' wear is office wear (which is interview wear). But I still am very indecisive...lol

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Most of my clothes consist of jeans and t-shirts and fun dresses and skirts and such. I own a couple pairs of slacks (the aforementioned ill-fitting slacks) and a business style skirt and some button-down blouses, but I don't feel comfortable showing my leg tattoos in an environment where I'm sure it'll have an effect on their decision to hire me.

I'm so tempted to just take pictures of things and have someone pick out what I should wear

 

[queenie82]

Totally understand. Tattoos are an issue with lots of places.
I used to be the same until I started working - which meant working in offices...
It's funny with skirts though as I got dragged kicking and screaming into wearing them about halfway through last year. Now I love it. But I was such a jeans and slacks girl it isn't funny. Don't even start me on dresses

 

[DisneyFirefly]

The strictest employer I've had regarding tattoos was Disney, but that's understandable. So I'm very used to having to keep tattoos covered in the workplace.

Oh, I love wearing skirts and dresses It's just that most of them are for going out and having fun, not for an interview. Every job I've had so far has required uniforms, so I've never been able to wear just "business casual" to work. So, yeah, I don't have a large amount of business clothes.

You know I wish I had a uniform at times. Our schools all have uniforms and you get used to that. So much easier in the morning. Unless you realise at 7am it needs an iron
Then if you go to uni where you go ultra casual...where I stayed for a long time jeans and casual tshirt uniform. Then working is all office wear. But it is so random at times. I'm never sure quite how officy to go.
And then my old office had a stuffed AC so in Winter the back part I was in would be freezing in winter so you had 3 layers.
To add to the fun it was blowing a gale through the city today

I just have to stay clear of clothes shopping now I have better (errrr....more expensive) taste.

 

[DisneyFirefly]

My elementary school had a basic uniform, high school and college had no uniform. So having jobs that require uniforms was a change, but such is life, you know?

I've gotten used to dressing in layers, since I've been wearing scrubs and thin work shirts for two years, and those get chilly.

 

[queenie82]

Going to watch Mary Poppins tonight
I'm sadly going alone as my family all deemed it 'too expensive' for an 'Australian cast'
But....I decided stuff it I'm going.
I would have gone with a friend but they are hard enough to plan something a week in advance with let alone months and none are Disney nuts

 

[DisneyFirefly]

Well, go have fun! I'm heading to bed soon.

 

[queenie82]
