Deep Thoughts

I've decided the easiest way for me to make sure I dress snazzily for work all the time is to only work a 4-day workweek.

Do you think it'll work?

Duplicate Monday's outfit for Thursday and you'll be set. That is what I am doing to deal with my current weight gain and reduced wardrobe choices.

Fab idea!! Hope it works:)

I think you can repeat within a week. I used to think five work looks for three days got me by, or eight for five. And one look might repeat the pants and/or jacket, probably not the top.

I telework two days a week. I only have to show up at the office three days a week. Would that work for you?

I thought that repeating outfits is fine and that nobody cares or pay attention until I heard MALE coworkers gossiping about female college how she repeats outfits and how they know which day of the week it is when they see her I have not noticed that, it seems that I am the one who is not paying attention, not others.

Surprisingly, Anchie, it is my MALE coworkers that notice the same exact thing. How is that even possible? Shouldn't they be working?

Here’s a news anchor who wore the same suit every day for a year, and no one noticed:

When I worked I had a very, very small wardrobe. We were on a tight budget, and clothes were not a high priority. If anyone noticed that I had worn something twice in a week, no one said anything. Now, I wear the same thing every day: jeans and a grey LS tee!

I suspect there is more behind that unpleasant gossip that Anchie heard. But definitely thumbs up on the four day work week !

Anchie, I overheard the same thing at my office once. “Oh, she’s wearing the brown pants, must be Thursday...”. Jerks!

I work only three days, and one of them is casual Friday. Even though my work wardrobe is quite small it's hard to wear it all. So yes, I agree!

I usually forget what I wore earlier in the week, so I am sure I duplicate often. 4 day work weeks are the best, I always love it when there is a public holiday to break up the week!

If I went back to work I would do the Steve Jobs thing and wear a uniform. Not black though. Let them talk.
