Week 4 in the inspiration series of topics from Jakobo.
This Weeks topic: Who decides what you wear? Have you ever decided to change your style, and if so, why? Have you ever had to stick to a "dress code"?
Fashion......... Hmmmmmmm...... Not exactly a topic I can really talk about. I'd like to think I have a bit of fashion know how, enough at least to keep my avatar looking co-ordinated. But in RL... talk2hand sweatdrop So i'll concentrait on just answering the three questions.
Who decides what you wear? On the day to day basis, that would be me. I haven't had anyone pick out an outfit for me since I quit refereeing. That said, a good portion of my wardrobe was bought or picked out for me, not by me. I tend to buy all the practical stuff that I need, but the more fashional stuff is picked out by people with better fashion sence then me. If I need to shop beyond jeans and socks, I tend to try to have a friend or my sister with me to help.
Have you ever decided to change your style, and if so, why? Not Really, the only real shift occured a couple years after high school. During school and my first jobs afterwards I tended to dress lightly, t-shirts shorts runners even in the middle of winter. Between soccer and other stuff, I just found it to be my comfort zone. As I moved over to retail, and then into an office enviroment, I slowly had to change to fit the job, so the shorts were the first to go, the runners into regukar shoes, and so on, due to that my regular everyday gear has adapted. But certain elements are still there, I still perfer comfort to design, and practical over pricetag.
Have you ever had to stick to a "dress code"? Only within work guidelines and I was forever getting in trouble at a previous job for my complete disregard of the "Jeans only on Friday" rule. That said when asked during a performance review by my direct supervisor about it, I simply pointed out that during any typical week I had to do about a dozen tasks that had been assigned to me outside my job description, (retreiving files from the storage space, maintaining the printer banks, moving dirty mail bins) that I had no problem doing, (and most I perfered than doing my proper job at the time) but if I was to do then under the guideline, I would risk messing up good threads doing so. He let me continue, in exchange that I would never ask for a raise based on needing to buy new stuff or cover drycleaning.
I'd like to say more, but that's all I can think of on this topic. Thx.
