Or least in corporate world. I work in a company that doesn't care what you but cares more on your production. It's not about what you look but how you work. At some point in my life maybe I will need to dress up. Or maybe I'll just burn the bridge when I get there, yeah burn. haha Jonha Hi Penelope,

(ARE there any work-oriented fashion blogs out there? There must be, right?? There are so many of us out there who need help with this...) I would prefer a photo-oriented website to one that describes what is "generally" a bad idea to wear to work. No sneakers, ok duh. Certain shapes suit certain people, ok fine. That advice isn't helpful to me. I need to train my EYE and get some ideas about professional outfits that I actually like. Thanks for the post, Penelope! Great story, Madeleine. :)

Last night, after I left the gym and was hitting up my favorite middle eastern joint for a little dinner, I ran into a casual friend. He looked me up and down and said that I must finally be getting a little successful at writing. I laughed and said, no, I am as poor as ever. And then he said, well you certainly look successful (keep in mind I was dressed in faded sweats). How so I asked? Who else gets to work in their sweats, he said with a smile. I just thought that this was a nice inversion of the dress for success rule. I know that I am like, six months behind for this thread, but it is rather timely that I stumbled across it today.
