Witches and Widows and Bad Guys, Oh My
Or... how I feel about wearing all black to work...
It feels negative and stifling. Keep in mind these are my feelings, and one could certainly make an argument for slimming and chic, but that's just not what I'm feeling.
Our dress code is pretty straight forward. All black. No print, polka dots or stripes. We can get away with some color in our accessories, i.e., scarves, necklaces, belts and shoes.
It is definitely a unifying look, and customers can find us without having to do that embarrassing "excuse me, do you work here?" thing. We stay reasonably clean. I spilled my lunch all over my skirt one day, and after just a little dabbing and wiping, you couldn't even tell.
And the bad guys?
Suffice it to say that I do not like the dress code. It's a pretty common one for some retail and restaurant workers. It's practical on many levels. And while I've made a handful of things to wear, but there's not a lot of creativity involved and that's what I love about sewing. And that's why you'll be seeing my creative side coming out in a few other mediums. Maybe even a little sewing. ;)

Sounds like it's time for some wild and crazy linings!
ReplyDeleteYou could get very experimental with you accessories, cheer things up abit.
ReplyDeleteI think I would get sick of wearing black all the time too!
ReplyDeleteI totally get you- if I wear scrubs to work, it must be all brown. BROWN! It does make the weekendwear more exciting, right?
ReplyDeleteYou could pretend that you are a ninja -- they wear all black, too. Or a police patroller, or on a SWAT team, trying to foil ne'er-do-wells. Or a nun, all holier-than-thou and everthang. (I tell myself that I am trying out for an Oscar, playing the part of a church secretary. Makes my work life much more interesting than it would be otherwise.
