Naked or clothed…you decide
Today I woke up and was not ready to face the world. I wasn’t motivated to get dressed up and rush off to work. Not that I didn’t want to go to my appointments but rather I just felt like doping it in sweat pants or my pajamas. Who ever came up with the rules that you have to get dressed in the morning anyway? Isn’t that saying right there to judge a book by its cover? Shouldn’t we be judged by our merit not how cute my new Donna Karen suit is? Or how my hair and makeup looks?
What would happen if we all rebelled and showed up for work tomorrow in our pajama pants? Do you think we could make a statement? Would people even notice? Would it make us not so great employees?
As a professional I do get the point of needing to present yourself in a certain manner. But don’t we all have those days where we just want to less loose and be relaxed and comfortable, rather than professional?

You wouldn’t be alone. There’s a group of people who advocate going to work naked.
