Bohemian Business Girl
I’ve worn the same pants for 3 days in a row now. I keep meaning to buy more pants or get my pants back from the dry cleaners, but I fall asleep so soon after I come home! I’ve mangaged to do this without shame by telling myself that since they are black pants, no one will notice. They’ll just think I have several pairs of black pants and that I am wearing them all in a row, and that I really like to wear black pants. Four days seems like it is pushing it though.
I came home early today, (after going to work early,) so I would have time to do errands, but I fell asleep until 8:30. (People tell me the tiredness gets less after six months, or did they just say that I would get used to it?) Now, I am facing another day of wearing the same pants to work! Does this constitute a personal emergency? Should I call and ask to work from home because… I have a clothing emergency? My pants got stuck in traffic? I guess I could wear a black skirt.
Is this bad? You people who shower every day and never forget to brush your teeth think this is bad, don’t you.
The unfortunate thing about this that the one person (OK, in my head it’s definitely a WOMAN) who will notice is also the one person who is the source of all the juicy gossip in your office. Prepare to receive your First-Nations-esque name: Crow Pants Come Lately. I hope I don’t get in trouble for appropriating this lovely naming convention, it’s such fun.
Anyway happy weekend! Sleep lots!

Ha! So far, I’ve recieved no flak- maybe it’s because people mostly see me in meetings and then I’m sitting down. :)

Nobody will notice. One of my co-workers wears the same pants all week except Friday (our jeans day) and I wouldn’t have known if he hadn’t pointed it out to a co-worker. I have essentially two pairs that I wear, but I favor my dark grey pair heavily. Occasionally I’ll mix it up with one of my more conservative-looking dresses, but otherwise, that’s all they’re getting. :)
