As a child my mother insisted that I never leave the house looking like "nobody's child". In other words, she wanted me to be a reflection of her and present myself as such. As a adult, I have a great appreciation for that lesson and hopefully I can offer some of mother's wisdom to a select few.
1) Part-Time Party Girl: Ladies it is time to separate the closet. Pieces worn for a night out
at the discotec are not interchangeable with office attire. Let's bring the skirts down a
few inches and leave the low-cut glittered halters for after-hours when your choices can be
sheltered by the shade of night.
2) The Ironless: It appears that this title befalls many young corporate employees. Maybe it
takes a few years to transition from the rollout of bed, grab and go college lifestyle; but
I find this particular look incredibly disturbing. Slowly I imagine myself spouting phrases
such as: tuck in your shirt, brush your hair, iron your slacks, and I immediately
become Sister Silbrowne of Our Lady of the Unsettlingly Wrinkled.
3) The Business Too Casual: This final staff member is the most rebellious of the group. It
appears this particular employee (often attired with sneakers, jeans and/or Ts) has forever
extended the rules for Casual Friday.
I do not personally expect all office personnel to appear as though they stepped off the runway, but hopefully the previously addressed missteps will cease. You know who you are (insert sinister laughter here).
