Sooo... I have just remembered... I am a technical writer by training and profession - i.e., an office worker. But in the last couple of years, my hobby job (as a baker) (which oddly enough needs all my tech writing skills) has taken over. Well, ok. I always did half my work on a factory floor, but a tech factory is not as rough as a bakery.
Anyways, when I'm not at work, I'm walking with my dog, puttering in the garden or tackling some other home improvement project. I'm not ever eating cheese cubes at a gallery opening, lol.
On top of that, my style is RATE (Rough Around The Edges), not polished. It is pretty hard to not somehow feel underdressed. Every now and then I catch myself pondering very hard to come up with a smashing perfume-commercial-worthy outfit for kneeling in the dirt. Lol.
At the same time, you know to be honest, I feel embarrassed for people when I see them dressed to the nines at Safeway buying anything other than a bottle of champagne and flowers. Lol.
What I'm saying is, context is important, but easy to forget. If you're dealing with baby spit up what you want is a cute, well-fitting t-shirt... you won't look good in a 'stylish blouse' and baby spit up, but you will look darn cute in a t-shirt and baby spit up... if you know what I mean, lol.
Ok. You probably don't have this problem. But I do l, as I sit here wondering whether to 'get dressed' or go water the eggplant...
