Retracting my statement

So after a heart to heart with Angelita-who told me i needed to go ahead and calm down about waering professional attire, i have reached a happy medium. I mean- can you really be taken seriously in a pair of jeans? ( i think so but hey, what does society think). I still need to invsest in a pesonal shopper. THe kind that will shop for me while i stay home and watch bad reality tv.

or maybe someone can submit me to what not to wear- i would not be offended- all them free clothes.

I really dont have much to say today

i was at a public speaking thing at spelman, and this woman asked us, "what if a person dressed in jeans and a t-shirt came to speak as an expert about something, would you take them seriously?" i said, "as long as they knew what they were talking about, i'd listen." she slanted her eyes at me - guess that was the wrong answer. but i went to my manager's office for a conference call last week, and guess what? she had jeans on. so, i'm a witness, jeans doesn't mean "don't take me seriously." but if you wanna play it safe, get a few blazers and keep it moving! =+)

i only wear jeans and t-shirts. i feel more comfortable that way. but when i go to teach classes, the little undergrads look at me like i am not the voice of authority. and ya know what, i don't care. i know my shit, the clothing doesn't matter.

fruitfly4, if someone knew what they were talking about, i would take them seriously, too.

@wild cowgirl- I dont predict that i will have a style epiphany anytime in the future, so the need for a stylist will always be there. TRUST ME :) I'm just waiting for a paycheck so i can send you to the mall with more than 7.50.

@Fruitfly-Always got the words. I'm in khakis and a tshirt now which is approved. My happy medium. Especially since most of the time i dont know what im talking about.

@nubian- I cant picture you in anything outside of jeans. Yeah no, its not working.

@kili.-yeah my bed requested that i get some new pj's as well.
