Looking professional

There will always be those people who try to head off to work as comfortably as possible, even when the dress is business sophisticated.

As someone who used to frequent the DC Metro system I have seen it all. Sports coats on hangers, sneakers and tube socks with skirt suits, flip flops with everything, sweatshirts over a business dress, and the list goes on. I have seen people put their makeup on in the office, trudge in with ugg boots to switch out less-trendy flats, even go into the bathroom with one shirt and come out with another one on!

But today was the worst thing I have ever seen. (In regards to professional dress...)

I turned left into the parking lot at work like I always do, when I saw a man standing next to his tiny (yet expensive looking) car, wearing basketball shorts and stepping into his work pants with the belt already in the loops!!!

Now, I am not completely innocent here, I was wearing flip flops with my outfit and had every intention to change once I sat behind my desk and I do that fairly regularly. However, this is wear it crossed the line. The man wasn't even using public transportation!! He was in his own car!! Common, Mr. Dude... no one wants to see that!!

This post was just a tribute to those who can not fully dress themselves in the morning for lack of time, comfort, whatever. May you continue to put on your pants in the parking lot forever more... (or maybe stick to dark parking garages where I don't have to see it...)
