Power dressing.. all about image.

One definition : A stylish and expensive clothing style, intended to convey the impression of assertiveness and competence and predominantly worn by women..The style itself leaned towards a somewhat masculine shape and frequently included a tailored jacket, almost always complete with shoulder pads. The clothes were often made from silk or other expensive materials and their high cost emphasized the elite status of the women wearing them.

My definition : Bloody waste of money.

Who'd wear jackets and tights in our sweltering weather. Belive me, the mass do. Mesmerised mass. Check out Golden Triangle. I had the misfortune of workin there 10 years ago for a PR firm (first ones to bring in the Red Devils) whose CEO (a newscaster, now ex convict) was shaggin the MD in a secret hideout room between their two rooms. Made major news couple of years later when the MD sued her for his $10 million he passed on to her at the airport to avoid detection. She took the money home and then said "What money?" But i digress.

But yea, i knew colleagues and next door colleagues who'd save two weeks (or three) salary and live on cut fruits to buy that LV handbag or that Prada shoes or that suit on sale u can hardly wear elsewhere. Lunch time was parade time. Everyone flashin their stuff tho sweatin like hell inside but putting up a cool expression for everyone was checkin out everyone else.

Those executive level and up escaped to Delis and other exclusive eatiries for fashionable sandwiches and coffee. Others... suffered in high heels across stylish zig zag pavements to the cheapest food court they can find. It was all about image.

I was lucky i saved some money, i had hand me downs from an aunt who jus quit bank job. But slowly, i felt the pull too. Streamlined jackets, tailored pants, mini skirts.. i escaped when the whole staff mutanied on the management... btw, the HR manager, PR manager and A&P manager escaped too! It was hilarious. Ok, thats another story too.

But then.... u know.. sometimes, it can be fun as long as u dont get caught up in it.

Like this one.. nice eh.
