I Just Gotta Be Me

Me feets.
Me pants.
Yep, that’s right; I’m wearing jeans and comfy shoes (so cozy – they even have fuzzies inside to keep my toes warm). Every morning I put on my jeans and shoes (and a top a course) and arrive at my new corporate job/gig. It’s the kind of place with marble floors and ground to ceiling windows. A place with lots of red tape and, I’m sure, a dress code. But as a contractor, I’m wearing my outfit. The days of shoving my feet into cold, painful heels? Over. I’m done with foot cramps. And spending my hard-earned money that I’m scraping together as a freelancer on suit pants? Um . . . hmm . . . that would be a NO! If I do part with it, I’m splurging on a tasteful pair of jeans.
So far no one has given me any grief. Maybe publishing people are different than lawyer people?

YAY for still being you! I wish I could wear jeans to work. We don't even get a Casual Friday!

I don't blame you; those marble floors can be chilly. :)

I totally feel like a teen rebel with pink hair and a tattoo.

Jenny,
Love being comfortable, it is what makes us most productive!
I just finished a book you might like, Heart in the Right Place by Carolyn Jourdan. I liked it!
XOXO

Love that you walk around all day with warm, fuzzy feet. There's nothing better than warm toes.
Hope you're having fun with the job.

Lawyers are desperate for something to take their minds off of their jobs...I once caused a scandal by wearing a pantsuit, and that was YEARS after that battle was over everywhere else in America.
Glad to hear you've landed in a place that appreciates that your genius functions best in comfy shoes :)
