What Not To Wear (but they do anyway)
Comments
If they can not be bothered to array appropriately, one wonders what on earth they put on that resume to snag the position.
Funny about the cap thing. I hate them as well, but traveling in Europe in the summer as I am now, I own one. I hate how I look in it, but carrying one of my nice Panamas here after it would be destroyed by airlines would be worse.
So I argue on their behalf for practical reasons of keeping the endless summer sun of Spain off my eyes.
But you’re right, they are ugly and they should be removed not just when you go inside, but when you’re in the shade.
I think men wear them to hide their eyes, as if they had some mystery worth preserving. I feel similarly about the male obsession with the wrap-around sunglasses with mirrored tint on them so that when you’re talking to them, you’re looking at yourself. Ridiculous. When you meet someone, you take off your sunglasses.
But we’re preaching to the converted.
While I haven’t seen any really big intern dress faux pas where I work, I see them every single day on the Metro (so somewhere, an office building is filled with these women). I stare everyday in disbelief. Enough with the flip flops!! And if you do expose your toes, please groom them. And honey, I hate to tell you, but your clothing is 2 sizes too small.
You tell those whippersnappers, Lisa!
Amen, Sister!
I just followed a young intern into my office building today… She could hardly push the door open for tugging down her teeny tiny little dress that kept getting caught on her underwear and riding up. Honestly, it looked (and clung) like a beach cover up. I told her to be careful because it was riding up—but I wanted to say so much more.
And could your next column, please, address the lack of slips?? Why don’t these girls wear slips anymore? You can see through their dresses… the dresses are grabbing their butts… put a slip on, people!!!
