Wearing the wrong clothes.

Have you ever had one of those days, when you feel as if you’re wearing the wrong clothes and no matter what you do you’re not going to feel comfortable in them for the entire day? Well that’s what’s happening to me right now.
I’m wearing the wrong clothes. Oh yes, they are mine, however, this is not what I wanted to wear today. I wanted to wear Thursday’s clothes. Do you know what I mean? The clothes you wear to work on the day before the last day of the week. You do know what I mean right? No? You’ve gotta to be kidding me! OK, follow me for a moment here, and let me teach you the “art” of clothes you wear to work.
OK, so say your office isn’t super formal (like some of those I’ve worked in before where you had to be in pantyhose, or tie, and really spiffy), my office is business casual, heck, I’d say it’s casual as long as it’s clean, anything goes. No really, there are times when my office mates will be dressed very dapper and looking real uncomfortable, (hehe) and there are times when it’s plaids and khakis all around.
For me, coming out of formal dressing (from my previous job) and the “New York” style of dressing, doing business casual took some time to master. I live in Florida now, where flip tops and shorts has become the norm for most people. Oh yes, people do get dressed up here, as I’ve mentioned above, oh you were thinking people outside of my office? Yes, they do….but now we’re really getting side-tracked so keep following me.
Well, like I said, casual took some time to master, not wearing too much or too little for that matter. I opted for shirts over tank tops with pants and sometimes a skirt. That usually works for me. Sometimes I will wear jackets but never a matching suit or else that would be too formal.
On Mondays, I try to look more ‘formal’ than any other day of the week, because it’s the first working day. I usually wear a shirt jacket, (the type that can be worn as a shirt or jacket, they come in really handy) with a tank and pants and open-toed (which is ok too) heels, not too high heels. With a pair of earrings, my watch, wedding band and a bracelet I’m fond of wearing, that completes my Monday look.
On Tuesdays, White buttoned down shirt, again, worn like a jacket (ladies, go to the men’s shirt department!) over a tank of any color, and pants, (I wear mostly black pants), footwear would be white not too high heels again. They’re versatile and go with lots of things.
Wednesdays, another shirt jacket again, over tank or sleeveless blouse and pants. Yep, I’m on a roll!
Thursdays would be comfortable, not too much fuss styling. Sometimes a pullover with slacks or if I’m feeling like it, a nice skirt and flats or not too high heels. No matter what Thursday’s style is more casual but chic, because by the time that day rolls around, I’m tuckered out from both work and my personal life. Hence not too much ‘bells and whistles’, I just want to get through the day!
Fridays are always, always, dress down days. Mind you depending on what my mood is, I might not make too much effort, for me that would be not looking too put together, but even then, I somehow always end up looking “put together”; or most of the times a pair of Jeans will be the focus for me because that to everyone in my office signifies, “dressed down”.
Now fast forward back to the predicament I’m in. I’m wearing the wrong clothes. I have Monday’s clothes on! I don’t know how it happened, but it did. Perhaps it’s because I’ve had a sleepless night, of my son being sick, picking up my husband and my daughter from work (yes, the older girl found herself a job, and that’s another blog) and dealing with my four year old’s sleepless night. And on top of it all, I have bad seasonal allergies, the kind that leaves you blind and simpering for some kind of comfort!
Yep, no wonder I ended up in Monday’s clothes. And did I mention how large my breasts look in this blouse I’m wearing? Oh yes, more for people to gawk at! Ah well…..I’ll get over myself eventually, but for now, I’ll just sit and wondered where did I go wrong, even though I knew it was the very moment I pulled this outfit on!
So, how’s your Thursday going?
