girl clothes

I love my job (most days) for lots of different reasons...one of the simplest being the complete and total disregard for wardrobe requirements.  At the lawfirm there were no shorts, capris, gauchos, sandals, gym shoes, open-toed or open-heel shoes, short skirts, sleeveless shirts, denim of any kind and you had to wear hosiery.   I've rolled in here in holey jeans, a tank top and flip flops and not gotten a second look.  Love it!  But, there are days when we have guests and Leland comes to me the day before and tells me in an apologetic tone to "dress nice."   I don't mind, except that I have to iron because all my "work clothes" are stashed away.  Today I have on a skirt Juana gave me and sweater I purchased on clearance with actual panty hose and cute, retro, secretary shoes with a little bow plus I wore make up.  Can you stand it?  I've gotten compliments all morning.  I don't know if I like how shocked people sound when they say them, (new girl about fell out) but I'll take what I can get.  Now if I dressed up and did my make-up everyday, people would expect me to look like this all the time.  I'd rather be extra-cute dressing girly for a day than not-as-cute going american casual once in a while.  Feel me?
