One year of working at home has erased my dress for success memory permanently. I’ve forgotten how to get dressed for work in an office. I’m out of practice. Daily I pull on jeans, shrug on a sweater or tee shirt, my feet comfortable in clogs or sneakers. Now I get ready to spend time in the office and I can’t seem to pull the pieces together. I have no idea what’s in style, what looks good, what still fits because I’m not seeing what other people are wearing, not trying out the outfits on a daily basis. It’s all rotting on hangers or in drawers, looking all wrong when I finally dust it off and try to wear it again.

I almost forgot to pack for my trip this week — I think subliminally I didn’t even want to think about office wear. I’m underconfident, out of practice and far too comfortable in my work at home wardrobe.
