Tonight I’m going to a networking event-the third anniversary of CPAFE at Changes Day Spa and Salon. I’m really looking forward to it. I picked up my donation of a new stuffed animal to be distributed to abused children today, and tonight there will be networking, food, drink and maybe even makeup and chair massage demos. Sounds fun, right?
Right. Except, I’d be much happier if I could attend in my pajamas and my bunny slippers. I like being comfortable when I work. But when I go networking, I actually have to “clean up.” Then comes the decisions…business suit or business casual? Comfortable shoes or dressy shoes, gold, silver, or costume jewelry? I think I need an image consultant.
I’m sure I’ll have fun and look fine, but I’m just glad I don’t have to wear professional attire every day of the week.
