Prada boss a devil?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I went to see the movie ‘The Devil wears Prada’ this weekend and it instantly reminded me of the fashion woes I experienced when I first entered the work force right after college.
I had to trade in my comfortable jeans and t-shirts for power suits and pumps. I was even shocked that I couldn’t get away with flip-flops on casual Friday (who came up with that rule????).
After three years in a corporate environment, I think I have finally managed to dress appropriately depending on my work schedule and still allow my personality to come through.
Luckily, I have never been scolded about my fashion sense and haven’t had a grouchy boss but this Access Atlanta story points out a few examples of demanding bosses.
Unlike Ann Hathaway’s character in the movie Andy Sachs, most of us don’t have a fashion magazine’s clothing department to dive into so we can look trendy.
Not everyone can afford the best designer clothes, have you found any cost effective solutions? Are you good at finding bargains on a budget?
Here are some pointers to help you dress to impress your devil boss!
Do you still struggle to adhere to your office’s dress code? Have you ever been reprimanded by your boss for dressing too plainly or for being to glamorous?
Do you feel like you always have to keep up with your fashionable boss just to please him or her?
