About a week, lol. I dress like a blank slate the first week on a job. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anxiety-shopping#post-1016264 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 22:58:59 +0000 cinnamon fern 1016264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally do this too. &nbsp;But listen to wise Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anxiety-shopping#post-1016207 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:25:46 +0000 Suz 1016207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you didn't mean to bust me. You just innocently asked the question, but I felt well and truly busted!&nbsp;</p> <p>Claire has a good idea. Play around with first day outfits to see what you can do. I have a strong suspicion they won't require you to dress really corporate. And if you do buy stuff, make sure it will work for crossover for later on. I mean make sure you actually <b>like</b> it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anxiety-shopping#post-1016204 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:23:24 +0000 Anonymous 1016204@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No, you're not nuts! It could be fun to get to develop a whole new "corporate persona". You will look amazing. Do you have the first day's outfit picked out yet? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anxiety-shopping#post-1016197 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:13:58 +0000 ironkurtin 1016197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Uh... did I bust you?&nbsp; I do that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anxiety-shopping#post-1016195 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 21:03:29 +0000 Suz 1016195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not nuts. Weren't you the one who busted me for pre-travel shopping, as in: "Oh my, I am going on a trip, I have to have <b>exactly</b> the right outfits!!!" Guilty as charged.&nbsp;</p> <p>I didn't do it for my new job last year only because I work from home. Heh.&nbsp;</p> <p>But I did do it the minute I had to actually go somewhere and meet my colleagues in the flesh. Luckily I didn't buy anything nutty.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/anxiety-shopping#post-1016187 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:55:38 +0000 ironkurtin 1016187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sooooo if you have been reading my posts, you know that I have been offered a job at A Large Corporate Technical Firm.&nbsp; My entire background is in entertainment media. I do not know what to expect, really, plus new jobs are nervous-making.</p> <p>Since clothing is my armor defense, of course I want to shop!&nbsp; But I'm not there yet!&nbsp; But I want to look good right away!</p> <p>Am I nuts or does anyone else do this? </p>
