I’m not sure if it’s because I used to be ruefully shy, or if it’s because I’m obsessed with perfection, but I somehow have an appetite for pushing social limits–mostly to see if there’s something I’m missing that I can still learn, but occasionally just out of ennui. One social convention that defies my ability to flout it, is dressing for the occasion.
When I first graduated from school, I applied to several optical stores, optometric practices, and laser surgical centers by just walking around my neighborhood. Sometimes I would wear a dress shirt, tie, and slacks as appropriate for my profession; sometimes I would just waltz into the place in a t-shirt and jeans, or even my gym clothes after a workout!
