A relatively new blogger,
a young collegian male, weighed in on the question - maybe unaware (maybe not) that it was floating around this week. I recommend his post! It is well stated, short and to-the-point. (I also happen to agree with him,
AND he's a fan of thrift stores!)
It's always more important to be slightly overdressed than underdressed.
I don't have a 9 to 5 job outside my home. However, it's important TO ME to feel that I'm prepared to meet the public without apology about my personal appearance. Dressing up gives me incentive to keep the house "up" and to take pride in various responsibilities. Dressing up saves time. I don't have to change clothes to go out and have fewer clothes to wash and dry.
Of course, if it's a "dirty work" day, I dress appropriately, but I've found that I can accomplish most household chores while dressed in my typical wardrobe. Aprons are a GREAT invention! Today I'm wearing a Pendleton cranberry colored skirt that I found in a thrift shop yesterday, a white T-shirt from my dresser drawer, and a denim vest. White studded belt and silver earrings complete the look along with navy blue stockings and navy blue shoes.
After seeing the photo, I decided to wear a darker denim jacket instead of the vest. It just seemed that there was too much "white/light color" on the top. Once again, a photo saved the day!
