This is an odd day for me to be writing this…but I have an excuse, ok? I may be wearing tennis shoes, but it’s only because I cut my foot really bad on Tuesday! But I digress…
Ladies and gentlemen, twenty somethings of the world, learn how to dress yourselves. I don’t know how all but maybe 5 percent of the parents of people my age managed to fail at teaching their children how to dress appropriately, but they have.
For example, I know one person who thinks that it is appropriate to wear tennis shoes with black dress pants to work, because the shoes are black. Um….no. And just last week I went to a dinner at the University and there was a girl, receiving an award, who wore calf length leopard print tights under a dress that just looked like a long t-shirt. Who taught these people what to wear? You seriously think that people are going to look at you and think “Now that person is a winner. Grade A” when you can’t even get out of bed and wear something other than tennis shoes to work?
On a second note, don’t wear shorts to work. Shorts are not dress clothes, I don’t care if you’re wearing heels with them. They’re not appropriate….especially when you have tattoos on your legs. That just screams “Sleezy white trash”.
Wash your hair and keep it a natural color and reasonable length. If you want it to be long, put it up. Otherwise you’ll look like you’re going to a sweet sixteen party, in your shorts and heels.
Ladies, wear closed toe shoes to the office. Nothing else is truly acceptable.
And finally, if it’s pierced and visible and it’s not your ears, take it out. No one cares about your individuality. They care that you’re competent, and having a gauged septum makes you look like a cow.
Don’t bother leaving comments if they’re going to contradict me. You chose to work in an office, these are the rules of mainstream society. Follow them.
