Outfit #16
‘A shift in thinking’ is the ability to think outside of the box, but not only outside of your box- but into someone else’s. Get your minds out of the gutters ladies! I’m talking about a mindset here. Specifically, in this case: outfits. About two years ago, when I first started in my current position I was all ‘come to work, do the min, wear slacks.’ I didn’t really care to go above and beyond. Of course that didn’t get me anywhere. After reading a few –much needed- books I fully embrace the idea of ‘dress for the job you want, not the job you have’. And boom- now I’m all fancied up when I come to work (let’s ignore the fact that I just sit in my cube all day). I shifted my thinking- to be more in line with someone else’s. The biggest thing here is to make sure that someone else knows what they’re doing. Things could get ugly. But anyway, back to the point- now that I’ve been in this 30 for 30 challenge, I’ve had much more exposure to what you ladies are all wearing. And yes, my thought has shifted once again. I still have a long way to go, but I really think that by using other bloggers as inspiration, my knack for remixing outfits is coming all quite nicely. So, thanks! And have a great weekend!

Sarah--I did the 30 for 30 last November and it was an eye-opener for me as well even though I've been in a professional position for over 20 years by now. Keep up the good work and the interesting poses!
