One of my colleagues has noticed that I never wear skirts to work. Yep, she’s observant.
Come to think of it, I hardly wear skirts. Somehow I think I don’t look very good in them. Also, it’s so much easier to move around in pants. I’m quite “kor lor” (un-ladylike) and if I were to wear a tight pencil skirt, I can’t walk fast or take big steps when I need to.
I sometimes like to sit cross-legged in the office too. I know, it looks terribly unprofessional. But no one bothers me downstairs in the basement office and I’m tucked away in my little cubicle. The few other colleagues with me in the office never bother coming round as well. I’m holed up in a world of my own. So yes, I’m most comfortable trudging around in pants. Makes me look taller too! heehee.
And if you could see my work attire today, you probably wouldn’t think I was going to work. Especially not in Shenton Way. Perhaps I’m just playing up Urban’s stereotype of how badly dressed (compared to women in Raffles Place) Shenton Way’s women are. Gosh, that was such a silly and brainless article which appeared last week. Urban has seriously run out of things to write about.
Anyway, I could pass off as a student–a black V-neck tank top with white trimmings around the sleeves and neckline, and with seven white silhouettes of Emily the Strange across the front, jeans, and a pair of faux black and white bowling shoes. And I carried a white sling bag with me. As you can see, I take my company’s casual Fridays policy very seriously.
On a related note, I read in today’s issue of Life! about how some teenagers are spending thousands of dollars buying underground clothes brands. Forsaking usual brand names like Gucci and Prada, they’re going for underground brands such as Bathing Ape and Neighborhood. The amount of money these teenagers spend is appalling and obscene for people who aren’t even spending their own money. All these prodigal sons and daughters! I would so slaughter my kid if he squandered my money like that.
Anyhow, it’s Friday! TGIF!!!
