Fail

Well, that was a bust. I start the new job next week. With that in mind, this week I was supposed to be awake at 6:30 every day, and "out the door" (re: done with everything but grab my coat/keys/etc) by 8am. If only I had SLEPT last night. I was in bed by a little after 10, which is what I wanted (minus the call from my mom at 10:05 *rolls eyes

Do you have dress slacks, a button shirt and a jacket to remove if too formal? I realize that I am probably one of the last people on the planet who should give advice on office dress, but that's what I would wear the first day. A skirt is too dressy and pegs you as the new person, and a sweater or shirt without buttons might be too casual. Then, you can see what everyone else is wearing and reevaluate if sweaters, shirts are appropriate.

I have pants/jacket/light sweater for now, although I need to decide if I want to insist they find the petite pants, which the website claims exist (Lane Bryant). OTOH, my brown shoes have a decent heel on them, so I might be fine. Alternately, I just randomly discovered a black skirt in my closet that I didn't know I had?!? Odd. I'm not a fan of button down blouses because I tend to get "gap-osis". :)
