poor choice of clothes

[ems27]

the weather here in london (as prob the rest of the UK) is pretty miserable today. However, i hadn't contemplated this before i left the house this morning and have chosen the complete wrong outfit to wear. I've got a long black gypsy skirt on with a black vest top a light jacket and flip flops. I wasn't to concerned as it is august and despite the rain, 20degrees. All my colleagues are in boots and trousers and jumpers, one girl came in wearing a scarf and coat ! My Q is...i have to go out tonight after work, shall i go home and get changed into something more suitable or leave it as i am ?

stay as you are- it's the girl in the coat and scarf who should feel stoopid!

Are you comfortable? Cold? if you feel ok then you are right. Trouble is as soon as it rains people seem to think it will also be cold! I'm with George, the girl in the coat is the one whose going to look silly.

I went into town, like you, wearing a long gypsy skirt, a black top and sandals. I am now soaked and the hem is wet and dirty! If I was going out tonight I would wear better shoes and have a jacket with a hood, prob. Maybe you should go home and change your shoes, and get a slightly better jacket??!! Depends what you are doing really! Flip flops are great in the rain providing you're not cold..!x

Yes, stay as you are ~ given our climate I'm quite sure there will be plenty of other opportunities for you to get the woolies out!!

cheers guys. I don't feel cold or uncomfortable, its just when i walked into work today and saw everyone dressed like we were in the middle an ice age i felt totally paranoid. Then there is always one bint in the office that has to comment which, didn't help matters. I felt a bit like the person that goes to a fancy dress party only last minute the fancy dress theme was cancelled and no one told me. Sod it, after a few drinks tonight i won't care what i look like :-)

ems27 where have you been? i've mised you on the a/b! I agree with the others...sure you look fine.

I know what you mean, I work in an office where most of them aren't happy till we're roasting at 80 degrees! We have some air con at the moment and as the sun isn't shinning much today I've managed to get the temperature down to 72 and I'm comfy, that means the others are freezing! Still I don't often turn the tables.

I've done the same thing too. Came to work in london in trousers, a t-shirt and some pumps (completely un-waterproof!!) So if i can stay as i am i think you can too!! And i've got to deal with it all week too, as i'm staying at my boyfriends for the week and havent brought a jacket with me at all!!!

[ems27]
