Work Wardrobe A Go Go

[totchipanda]

Monday is the day! Boss clocked me for jeans on Tuesday, so Wednesday and Thursday I wore skirts. Which were fine, they felt good etc. But I only have like, three that fit right now. People are gonna notice the same red skirt lol.

I cut a pink one to go with my bunnies shirt the other night. Roomie is working this weekend so I will have to spend more time working on pants. I have a few patterns I can try out. Hopefully it works out and I don't get frustrated or overwhelmed.

Otherwise, it's gonna be all skirts all the time! Boss said she's ok with it, and obvs they would be work appropriate. When I got the plaid skirt hemmed up, it suddenly looked very modern.

I also discovered that I am a lot more comfortable when I wear layers under the skirts. Wednesday's outfit included yoga shorts under, and Thursday's did not. Both days were fairly windy, and I accidentally flashed people yesterday when my skirt flew all over. Today I am wearing leggings, and I am a lot more comfortable in a "I am fully dressed" kinda way.

As a Corporate Goth, she said from the shadows, I wore leggings and knit skirts 99% of the time to the office. They aren't a waste of money like stockings/pantyhose, they remove chub rub, they prevent flashing, and they allow you to ruch up a fitted skirt at your desk so that you can manspread if you wish.

It also opens up all sorts of potential for button-front skirts, sheer skirts, and short skirts.

This is hopefully what I want to move towards. I made myself a pair of bike shorts pre-move and I found them FINALLY, they are still redonk comfy and also heckin' GREEN. I need about 8 more pairs and then a whole bunch of skirts and shirts etc.

Glad that you have a temporary solution to wardrobe issues to give you some breathing room! Yes to more layers under the skirt! It's probably the reason I'm not a skirt person. I like having my legs contained and protected from the outside world.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO true. I just feel so much better with my legs and hips encased in a layer of protection underneath a skirt. Even in a tight skirt.

Good luck on pants patterns. May the fit be in your favor.

Pfft the hunger games of pants fitting. Ain't that a whole mood.

Haha! Run the fit obstacle course and watch out for stabby pins
