All very well and funny…but it begs the question…what is appropriate dress for an IT worker, tech, manager? Does it change for schools? Design-schools? I have to admit that I have literally rolled out of bed, waved some deodorant near my pits, and barely managed to get some jeans on before leaving in the mornings…Yet other times I freak out over which shade of socks to wear.

Long ago, my father would wear a suit to work…every day. I couldn’t even imagine that, I wear a tie maybe 5 times a year, and he had literally ten to fifteen suits to pick from at any given time. I count myself as fairly successful at work, I get paid well, and I am sort of respected. If I had to wear a suit, I probably would. But my dad laments the passing of professionalism and the slacker attitude that can come with dressing casually. So now there is work-casual, never was there a worse fashion option. Work-casual is the reason people still buy dockers and chinos and loafers and generally parade around like it’s 1988 still. People just need to be more creative and have access to better clothes that aren’t cheaply made and don’t fall apart…ya hear me Banana Republic? For now I will continue with my choice for work clothing: Quiksilver, Hurley, and Volcom.

Lucy: Little Debbie…don’t they have those back east?

Betsy: I don’t know, I’m not from back east.

Dave: Oh “Colorado”??, wait, there’s California, then there’s the rest of the country.

Betsy: No, it’s L.A., then it’s the rest of the country.

Dave: But isn’t L.A. itself just California?

Betsy: No, there’s that other part.

Dave: Oh….with the bridge huh?

Betsy: Yeah, somewhere in Canada.
