I always wanted glasses.

Maybe if I start sitting really close to the screen at work...

That's awesome. Magneto was unexpectedly sexy, while stuff like Alice in Wonderland and the Riddler were just amazing.

Well you could act like those in the mission district and just wear glasses frames

Take home a pair of IMAX 3d glasses home with you, pop out the lenses, wear everywhere

"You sure do dress nice Dan, the last guy we had in here just wore jeans and a tshirt all the time. But here you are all in nice shirts and khakis. It's a nice change."

Yeah, I guess I dress how I'd like to be perceived.

"You also shower. He didn't shower. So good job there."

The last Dept Head didn't shower?

"Nope. Thought he was healthier that way. Man he really stank."

Infidel

That is some high bar your predecessor set.

Liiya

Oh my god.

this is something I actually did at one point, minus the "pop out the lenses" part

I...

i've known a good amount of people like that. granted, they were young 20 something punk/hippie girls and not professionals in the work place

those lovely ladies have certainly given me a lifetime's fill of pachouli scent in my brain, though

Theodore Floosevelt

because i am an idiot

Infidel

I am looking forward to starting with a new client and workspace in a week.

I'll take the opportunity to turn up the dressiness even more, since I can do more drastic changes without people noticing and doing that whole "oh my what are you dressed up for?" bullshit as discussed earlier.

Damn it, I'm doing it cause I love it. ME ME ITS ALL ABOUT ME OKAY.

reports indicate he was late 30s, and heavily over-weight.

did you get a new chair yet since they burned the old one?

Stale

he was only in the role til they hired me.

he was never in my office.

ThatDudeOverThere

wow, that

uh

that's something

Abracadaniel

Hrm.

Well, I just got the OK from my boss to improve my work wardrobe and get some nicer work shirts

but it means embroidering them with our awful logo

decisions...

pay for them myself and be able to use them elsewhere

or get our dumb logo on the chest and have the company pay for'em.

Also

nice work clothes that are suitable for the hellscape that is Florida

go

Stale

never get embroidered anything.

and for the humidity you'll need a lightweight cotton or linen that breathes.

ATL isn't much better temp/humidity wise and I stick to good, thin undershirts and a linen oxford. The undershirt is the key. Keep a few in your desk, along with a fresh clean button-down for days you get extra swampy.

I keep 2 undershirts and 2 overshirts in my office. Bananaaannanana republic usually has some good quality thin-cotton shirts. Keep deodorant next to them.

Stale

also Trunk Club

Let Erin know and she will send you some great breathable button downs.

Stareosarus

Just get some Emperor's New Clothes embroidered with the logo. You'll look fabulous every day honey, I promise.

New (only) sport coat. Might be tiny bit wide around the shoulders, but I'm not sure.

Not sure if a tweed jacket works with a slightly darker tweed vest.

And now for something prettier. I thought this was quite a lovely dress.

Oh my god I need it!

Stareosarus

I saw this skirt on my Pinterest today. I think there's quite a few ladies who would look fabulous in it. I'd link the picture, but apparently Nordstrom.com doesn't want to play nice with my iPhone!

Kochikens

I have a coworker who can pull off suspenders, legitimately

it is the most impressive thing in the fucking world



like, its completely impossible and nobody here or in the world would believe me unless they could see it themselves, but trust me you guys. It's a thing. It's happening. It's real.

Stale

you can pull off anything as long as you carry yourself with confidence


I have a white linen suit. I should look like the biggest schmuck on earth. But I look damn good in that thing.

Kochikens

yeah its the confidence


and, well

Straightzi

Yeah shit I pulled off suspenders before

I hate them with a passion, but when the director says you need fly suspenders, you learn to nut up

DrZiplock

You want a walking talking personification of confidence giving power to any style?

Hey, @Mysst. Get in here.

What do you mean by unfinished back? Cuz Blake wears just the vest and pants of his 3-piece to work all the time and it doesn't look incomplete at all. In fact it looks rather dapper.

And his vest's back is similar fabric to suit lining with a pair of straps to adjust the fit.

I don't think either Sheri or I were responding with girl-vests in mind.

Yeah, that.

It'd only be mildly obnoxious except it adds another color to coordinate.

So, like, the vest from my black three piece- I'd love to wear it with my obnoxiously loud dark red shirt, but the lining is purple so...

HyperBallad

Guys, ignore the messy room, I am a naughty girl haha

but more importantly, do you think @Gatsby will approve of this outfit? New Doc Martens.
