The Truth Comes Out
“So are you going to apply for that job?” Re-Boyfriend asked.
“I don’t know,” I shrugged. “I don’t really want to.”
“Why not?”
“I don’t know.”
“No, really, why not? It seemed like it would pay pretty well.”
“I’d have to wear a skirt suit every day.”
“So?”
“Well, the only reason I want more money is to buy better clothes. So wearing a skirt suit sort of defeats the whole point.”
It was one of those comments that you think you’re saying as a joke, then you hear it, think about it, and get kind of ashamed of how close to the truth it really is.

I have never been a clothes person. I mean I wear them and all. I am freaked out that I have to wear a DRESS at my step sons wedding. What shall I do?
Maybe you need to shop for me. lol.
Cindy.
There's nothing better than an expensive pair of jeans or shoes that look awesome to make me feel good.
And better clothes fit better. Don't be ashamed...
amen.
That's how it starts. First, you want better clothes. Then you get more money and you want better sheets, towels and dishes. Then you get more and you want better furniture and electronics. Then you get more and you want a better car...
CB, guys will never understand the motives behind our actions, but it all makes sense to us and that's all that matters.
Why be ashamed? Not wanting to wear a skirt suit everyday is a perfectly valid reason for not wanting a job.
Skirt suits usually come with the expectation that you will also wear nylons everyday. For me this would exponentially decrease my longevity at any job. Can you imagine commuting to work in the blistering heat of summer wearing nylons???
Why would you work for any place that requires you to torture yourself daily? I'd sooner take 30 lashes.
Yelch, I must go shower off these horrible nasty thoughts.
Where are you applying for a job, the year 1985? Can't you wear a pantsuit? Thank god you didn't apply. Sounds like cubicle hell again, only without any cute outfits to numb the pain.
I can almost see you in a leather skirt. We have dress codes too, I say "live by sword, die by the sword"
yes, beware of the nylons. i had a job that required those once. it was awful! i lasted a/b 3 months.
My God, you're superficial!
Skirt suits can be pretty darn sexy. Don't underestimate the skirt suit. That is all.
OMG - What a great post...Love it!
I thought I was the only one who though like that...
