When I wore this to work, I was SHOCKED when my boss told me that I would need to wear suits to work for what I am doing right now. Granted I was not wearing the jacket, but I was wearing my company fleece to keep warm at my desk with the jacket hanging in my car so as not to get crushed at my desk. I thought I was wearing a suit. I did not get the feeling that my boss felt the same way. This is the cause of A LOT of my suit anxiety. I don't feel as though I measure up. I can't.... and WON'T spend mega bucks on suit"S" plural. I bought a really nice one... for shows that I am standing at. (It is cut for an hour glass and not a rectangle. For standing it is AWESOME. For sitting and up and down it is uncomfortable. It cuts me in the wrong place.
I have several suit jackets and several dress pants. I tend to do the mix and match. I had thought that was fine and that I was successful. Really? I am not sure. I will continue on and hope for the best.
These are by the way... THE Gap trousers that I was longing for. I faltered and bought them! I loved them when I wore them. Now due to said story above, I am fearful of wearing them.
