I know what you mean, but I like to look good, so I have very nice clothes for work. It’s not just office drone, cuz I would go mad, there’s a lot of really cute colors and a couple of higher end tops. I’ve even got some ties and a lil dinner jacket for when the office has guests or the holiday dinner parties.
For me, it’s just the headspace of “I hate that I have to wear this.” The dress code is oppressive, and I’m told that I’m lucky. Apparently we were still full suit up until 2015. insane. and when I’m outside of work, I leave it 100% behind me. I don’t want even a reminder of it.
Absolutely though, going out in girlmode is 100% intentional and about conveying a message. I feel like it’s important to be upfront with my dates that it’s a huge part of my identity, and that they have to be interested in that if they want to keep dating me.
