i was looking at pictures from my birthday and the nights we celebrated it following. it sort of hit me like a ton of bricks: i am that FRIEND who used to dress cool and now dresses like i'm going to WORK. i'm the one amongst tiny tank tops wearing a BLAZER or some other very conservative article of clothing- i'm the work nerd. yeah. at dos caminos, which is a very trendy upscale restaurant, i wore a long-sleeved black silk shirt with what i thought at the time was somewhat sexy lace inlays. oh, lord, was i wrong. i look like i'm going to an interview, with my hair pulled back and my shirt buttoned completely up....then, pictures from the club. at home, getting ready by myself, i thought i actually might have looked a little bit slutty, but that amongst other people i would be normal. WRONG. i look like a school marm in my banana republic "deep v neck" with a little vest over it. WTF? when did i become this corporate weirdo?! even business barbie is sexier than i am...
i suppose it started when i decided my dream was to do strategic planning for pharmaceutical companies...
