why do i feel that i have a problem dressing appropriately?

(haha. that sounds stupid but that's a valid question.)

Proofs?

Corporate Attire redefined. The shoes that I wear to Globe almost everyday cannot be considered as a "corporate" shoes. It's closed, yes (so that's obedience to the rule) but it is flat; and that's what's boo. On some days, I even just wear my flat abaca sandals with flower detail (take note: it is flat, and open toed.)

An anecdote. -The other day, I went to the office wearing my long sleeves, a "katsa" 3/4 pants, and my flat open-toed sandals. (haha, 100% pasaway). unfortunately for me, i didnt take into consideration that on that day, we were to go to an after-office, merged birthday party for 4 CMS guys). i was eating my caramel cake when the owner of the house. Sir Archie, commented:

Boss: iyan ba ang sinusuot mo sa office?
Teng: (laughs..the hehe laugh, take note). Hindi, umuwi ako. [ang labo ng sagot ko di ba?]
Boss: bakit, san ka ba umuuwi?
Teng: (thought: naku, patay, sineryoso niya. akala ko nakikipagbiruan lang) sa Katipunan. [ang labo ulit]
Boss: naku ha, ano yan pupunta ka sa beach?
Teng: (thought: wah..exit teng, exit)

by the way, almost everyone was there at the dining area - including my IS. darn. caught in the act of a violation.

Also, I don't wear sleeveless shirts (without the "coat"), tube tops or blouses with plunging necklines, but there are days when I wear the cotton long sleeves, without the collar and the buttons. (shoot. i suck with descriptions).

Semi-formal redefined. then later, in would be our internship graduation,we are to wear something semi-formal (a cocktail dress, i.e.) but no, im wearing a gimmick dress. haha. i was looking for a reasonably priced cocktail dress yesterday at megamall, and i was having a really hard time because i wanted something colorful (yes, as extreme as yellow and a quite bright olive green [ hmm.. does that make sense?]; and other weird color combos). But at the same time, I wanted something that would match tal's black shoes or my yellow pointed shoes [ quite a 'wide range' right?].

Ssshhh.. so many 'requirements'. so i wasn't able to buy a dress. i ended up buying a green top, which i eventually realized to be soo ordinary, and with the black skirt i bought way way before - wouldnt qualify as a semi-formal attire.

haha. so again, i'll be a pasaway, to quote tal :)

yan tuloy. i miss school, because there, i can wear anything i want.
