A chill in the air, dark, drizzling... The alarm went off and instantly I knew it'd be one of those mornings I'd wonder why I couldn't just stay in my pajamas all day.
Okay, yes, I still have work to go to.
But I found myself seriously examining just what the reaction might be, if I appeared in the office at my usual time, but instead wearing:
- Black velvety drawstring lounge pants
- A Jack Sparrow t-shirt
- Purple stripey bedsocks
- Slipper boots
- Fluffy bathrobe for "outerwear"
It's sexy high-glamor all the way for me, yessir! In fact, it's a wonder the runways of Milan, Paris, and central Bayone, NJ aren't all clamoring to replicate this particular edgy, offbeat, polyfibrous style.
"Bag-lady Chic," I call it. A little of everything and all mixed up. Like nothing the likes of Versace or Vera Wang have ever seen before!
And can you imagine an entire office of folks not bothering to get dressed for work? Cripes, there'd be flannel and sweats, satin and boxers, and promo t-shirts from tradeshows...
Not to mention a modicum of nudists.
And I didn't want to mention them mainly because, well, look around your office at your coworkers... yourself....
How many of us do you really want to see stylin' it au naturale?
And certainly not making copies, changing lightbulbs, or climbing under desks to set-up network connections.
Just sayin'. I imagine this is fairly universal.
Still, in the middle of a client crisis, or a really long conference call, a plushy bathrobe and bedsocks might be just the thing to soothe the soul.
Comfy workers are happy, productive workers. I think as long as we can come to some arrangement with the nudists, the Code of the Pajama might just improve morale.
And plus, I've got this awesome A Christmas Story "You'll Shoot Your Eye Out" nightshirt all ready for the office holiday party.
With some thermal leggings, a 40s Chinese red chenille bathrobe and some pink bunny slippers, why, I'm virtually guaranteed to be the life of the whole event!
So tell me-- what would be your new office attire? (Unless, you're one of the nudists. In which case, there is such a thing as sharing too much.)
