It was lame, but I liked it in the end for two reasons: 1. my real clothes didn't get messed up, and 2. I found that it helped me to "play the part". I'm a pretty shy person sometimes, and the uniform helped me to play a different person at work that was quite a bit more gregarious.Trumbelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10145834807214647985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22008807.post-5559156762824736442014-07-31T16:27:52.453-04:002014-07-31T16:27:52.453-04:00I love uniforms in theory, but haven't liked a...I love uniforms in theory, but haven't liked any of the uniforms I've actually had to wear--the colors haven't pleased or flattered me, the fit usually leaves something to be desired and it's invariably an icky fabric. However, when I worked in a business casual setting, I wore a small capsule wardrobe & loved that I didn't have to think about what to wear unless I wanted to. Thinking about clothes can be fun, but most days I just want to look good without a lot of effort. It's been a few years, but I still feel a little frisson of pride over that self-designed "uniform" capsule.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
