Business Casual

Most of the time 'business casual' at work makes me feel motivated, determined, even a little powerful. I like it because it makes me want to live up to my attire with the work I'm doing.

But on days like today, I wish that everyone could take me just a seriously professionally if I was wearing my bright red Erie Police shirt that has 'DIAL 911' written in bold letters on the back. I'm tired of wearing black. You couple 'business casual' with large sunglasses, cutsie purse, and my reading of 'Emma' on the train and I look like your average city snob.

But alas, somehow, this did not deter the four 15-year-old boys out for a joy ride in Mom's minivan from cat-calling and giggling profusely afterwards on my way back from lunch. I must look like someone who might date a 15-year-old. Or maybe they're really into black...or Jane Austin...
