It's Casual Friday and I am wearing my cowboy boots *waves* Just popping in to say 'howdo!'
me3dia, very cool! I can answer that very easily: I worked like a dog, paid off all my debt, tucked some cash away, quit the batshitinsane restaurant gig, got an AWESOME job with a Canadian IT training company that has a branch here in SF and met a phenomenal man.
In the interest of full disclosure, this does indefinitely postpone my moving to Chicago, but not, in any way, frequent visits.
I work at home so everyday is casual day! Even though I could get away with it if I wanted, I can't do that "work in my underwear" thing. It's hard enough staying focused working from home, so I found that it helps to get dressed as if I'm going into the office - even the shoes. So today I'm wearing jeans and a Helvetica t-shirt. Although sometimes I think I should work in my underwear or pajamas since everyone assumes thats what I do anyway.
Box: I am wearing black leather knee boots which need a shine, black stripey tights, a black pencil skirt in lightweight wool, a ribbed cotton black blouse with french cuffs, hooks & eyes up to the bosom and buttons at the bosom and a raspberry long-sleeved stretch skinny t-shirt beneath it. "Navy venom" nail polish and a white gold and sapphire ring. My undies match, and I have a date after work!
Hi, Fris! We missed you like crazy! Also, you suck for not moving to Chicago. Also, congratulations for money, man, and employment! Also, you still suck.
It's casual Friday, but it is also holiday party day! I am wearing a very sweet silk silver and brown dress (that I found on clearance at Target for $9.98!), brown stockings and shoes, and an ivory wrap/shawl thing.
I also curled my hair all cute-like this morning, although I will be surprised if the curls last through the day.
Soon it will be time to get my drink on. Hells yeah.
I'm wearing my same boring old shite which doesn't fit me because I'm like a monkey or some shit. I want cowboy boots more than anything but Ms says that I look like a girl in them. She's probably right.
I really am working in my underwear. And a sweater and knee socks, because it's warm in here but not *that* warm. I hereby declare today No Pants Friday! Er...that was too much information, wasn't it?
elizard: my brother-in-law's office had to rescind "no pants fridays" when they finally hired a receptionist! it wasn't true; it was just a casual office all the time, so they figured the only was to make Friday "casual" was to make it pantsless.
I am quite hungover and wearing grey tracky daks, a grey jumper (not the US polygamist kind) and orange, blue and white stripy socks, because they were the closest items of clothing to the bed when I woke up.
