I originally had a different post scheduled for yesterday, but I didn’t like the pictures and ended up scrapping the whole post. However, I do have another ‘Now and Later’ post… this time going from work to play!

Originally, I wanted to wear that very-fun-blue-snakeskin-toggle-chain belt to work, but I didn’t want the wrong kind of attention. True story: A couple of years ago, I decided that NUDE FISHNET stockings would be a good idea for work. Since they were nude, I rationalized to myself that it cancelled out the FISHNET part of the stockings so it would be work appropriate. I got quite a few comments that day. And the NEXT DAY, a physician approached me, glanced at my legs, and said, “Awe, no fishnets today?!” I was absolutely mortified. At work, I want to be respected and noticed for my competent clinical abilities and NOT my attire.
The Style Rx for a happy and healthy work outfit: Keep party attire for the happy hour AFTER work. No halter tops, mini skirts, or fishnets!! If you are questioning whether an outfit is work appropriate, then it’s probably not! This is just my humble opinion. If you are in the retail/fashion industry, this probably doesn’t apply!
P.S. Did you notice I used analogous colors as mentioned here? Green and blue are one of my favorite color combos!
