Last Week of Work: What To Wear?

Sat Apr 26, 2008, 10:50 AM
My last week at work was entertaining. People kept congratulating me. I wasn't sure why, but one person noted: "Seeing someone make it over the wall gives the rest of us inmates hope."

Gentlemen: beware, girl stuff follows. Consider yourself warned.

The company where I worked (past tense! :dance:) is conservative and has a dress code. It occurred to me that my last week was the time to get away with wearing whatever I felt like instead of my usual pinstripe suit uniform.

Thus, my Exit Transition Costume Roster:
  • Monday - Tyrolean Barmaid: scoop-neck ruffled blouse, fitted black vest, pencil skirt, fishnet tights, high heeled patent Mary Janes.
    Effect: Vaguely trampy.

  • Tuesday - Debauched Aristocrat: shiny slash-sleeved suit, crumpled silver tuxedo blouse, teetery spike heels, oversized jangly earrings, Dorian perfume.
    Effect: Irresponsible.

  • Wednesday - Dominatrix Kindergarten Teacher: black patch-pocket jumper dress, black lace stretch blouse, Victorian locket, tall riding boots, red lipstick.
    Effect: Intimidating.

  • Thursday - Goth Yoga Gypsy: black peasant blouse, flared stretch pants, stiletto ankle boots, hoop earrings, excessive black eyeliner, cape.
    Effect: Reckless.

  • Friday - Fuck it: Jeans.
    Effect: Freedom.


  • My husband cracked up each day he saw me leave for work: "Are you trying to make them not miss you?"

    But who could pass up the opportunity? I won't have as easily shocked an audience in the future, alas. Plus I suspect my new uniform will be something akin to painty sweats and cycling gear. For a while, at least.

Even in corporate settings I have been known to wear my black long black sport coat with subtle dark grey on black skulls around the bottom edge and on the pockets. People do not know what to say and I am cracking up on the inside while keeping a very straight and professional face. My little rebellion I guess and the artist in me trying to "get over the wall".

You go girl!!!

See enough horror and experience enough pain and you become separated from your self.

An artist must create as often as possible. To cease this task is, to the soul of an artist, as ceasing to breathe.

:lol: Though my real painting clothes are pretty unappealing and evoke more of a homeless sense than anything artistic.
Hee! Yes, it was fun indulging my dramatic side - for a week at least.
