In that outfit, I'm surprised people weren't asking you to balance their checkbooks (do they still call it that? I write one check a month to the landlord and everything else is paperless or cash. But I digress). That was pretty much the uniform for the up-and-coming accountants I knew in the 80s and 90s (except for one woman who dressed like a hippie; I gave her a desk sign that said "No Accounting For Taste"; for some reason, we never dated. But I digress again)
true story, people in college kept saying I looked like Harry Potter no doubt due to my glasses and general outfits and I kept saying no thats insane we don't even have the coloration or face-shape what the hell.
Then I was in a costume shop browsing and saw a pair of glasses and went "Oh hey neat frames these look like mine-"
and then I read the package: HARRY POTTER GLASSES.
