So it seems everyone sees what you wear through very different eyes and even if you feel like you look a certain way, you may not be being perceived as such. You may recall yesterday my blog was called Business Time – I was wearing a button up collared shirt and straight legged black work looking pants (admittedly I bought them for a dress up party but that’s not helping my point;). I thought that look was pretty “work”.
Then I walked into the teachers room.
I got a really long up and down look with the comment “That’s a pretty casual look for you”. I was surprised and enquired “Because I’m not wearing a dress?” and the response was simply that perhaps I usually wear more colour. I think he meant …. This is hard for me to say …. That yesterday …. Deep breath …. I looked BORING!! AHHHH!!! Could it be possible??
All I can say is thank goodness I volunteer at a kids’ hospital radio station on Tuesday nights and spent the entire evening in a blonde wig with rosy cheeks and bright red lipstick … Oh if my colleague could have seen me then…sigh!
Anyway have attempted to redeem myself with a similar concept in a different colour scheme. I guess I could have worn my silver sequin dance shoes. This will have have to do.
After my all H&M day yesterday, an all Esprit day today worn with a sense of knowing that it’s ok to jazz up my outfits and accessorise like a demon and that I shall continue to do so – I clearly have a reputation to uphold!

Day 109 – 2nd attempt at business pants
Day 39 – This is just a little outfit I put on to take out the rubbish
Oh is that the time? I’ll just have to wear this work.
This is also one of my original Dogstar tops bought during the 2001-2004 era of the Dogstar after being introduced to the joy and wonder of it at my 10-year high school reunion. My old work colleagues called it and others that are similar oh and the dresses … ‘the Star Trek Wardrobe’
While I was living in HK they had a big moving sale and I bought 11 things – my biggest shopping day ever I would say! This skirt was part of that fun. I have worn these two together once before – in HK – and a woman stopped me in the street to say she liked my outfit. It started a new era for me – I always tell strangers how lovely they look now because it is such a lovely feeling
