    I live in Cheap Mondays jeans and American Apparel t-shirts, but mostly just because I'm an unemployed student. Is that a category?

    I worked for an internet startup in SoCal where the 40-something CEO deliberately held his first press conference in shorts, holding a skateboard. Returning to NYC, I was hoping everyone would be in business suits - even ceramic artists sitting at their potting wheels. Sadly, this was not the case. My boss gives me a hard time when I tuck in my t-shirt.


    Thomas Mann wrote that writers should dress like bankers. I think everyone should. Even at the beach.

    Its actually hilarious in the Burg on Sunday mornings with all the hipster girls in their 80's headbands straggly hair and oversized glasses looking like alcoholic Staten Island housewives circa 1984. Fail.

    Girls who wear black leggings and think it's "cool" or "attractive" automatically suffer a 20% drop in IQ. Black leggings, uggs, oversized sweatshirts, and ugly-face glasses an outfit does not make.

    While I used to wear a thoughtful mix of vintage, high-end target, and Macy's Alfani mingled with a few low-end designer bits, I now work at home in San Francisco. This means I am a poor and wear mostly yoga clothes ordered off the internet.


    Now that our little production studios are about to move into an actual office space, I'm anticipating difficulty fitting into the old clothes, and/or having money to buy new ones. The solution: um, I'm open to suggestions.

    @themediatrix: Did you ever try to get your accountant to write off your lingerie? When I worked at home for like fifteen years I tried to do this every April, and he shot me down each time.


    If you were in NYC I could hook you up with a few places for good cheap duds, sorry I do not know where to go in SF.


    But I am PMing you in a minute.

    I wear my midriff-baring catwoman outfit when meeting with MTV execs, but a white lace teddy with more conservative clients.

    With my power skirt-suits, I wear my LA Gear (SO Califonia!) aerobic (sporty!) shoes with Danskin (like Hooters!) tights and cotton (sensible!) socks. Most people just wear this when commuting--but I want to appear on-the-go all the time.

    When I'm meeting with conservative clients, I wear my jeans that have a rip in the crotch that I disguise by wearing a jacket over it. When I meet with surfers, it's usually because I'm buying crystal meth.

    I have to wear regular business clothes at my job. I bought some fancy shoes on clearance, but I don't know what brand they are. Also, they have holes in the bottoms, and will need to be re-soled. Because I can't afford a new pair of shoes.


    I AM BLAMELESS! I KEEP IT REAL!
