The Creative Contract

I have been working for a few weeks now and I will have to say that I do not get credit for my outfits like I used to. I do not blame them, they do not care about my new dress, they care about making money and performing well. I always say to myself that if I look good, I will feel good, and therefore work better. Confidence comes from clothes for me as I am not obsessed with what is under them. As I wake up every morning, tired and sleepy. The only thing that gets me excited is picking out an outfit. I love it. I think it is especially fun because I don’t consider myself having a specific style but a wide range of looks. So, do I want to look edgy? Boho? Casual? Sharp? My many blazers come in and out of my closet to accessorize any of those looks. 

One of the reasons that I created Busy in a Blazer was to share my outfits and get a little more out of my creativity rather than wearing my outfits to work and back home. I have had so much fun with this, sharing my outfits every day. It is funny because I even look back at my posts and think, “What was I thinking?” So, I do recognize not every outfit is amazing but rather spur of the moment with instant regret once I leave the house. 

Back to my main point, I think I realized how bland the corporate world is. Obviously, that is subjective to what company you work for and your job title, so I guess I need to change jobs. Attesting to that, there is not much joy in the corporate world. Everyone is there for one reason and one reason only, money. Which I guess makes sense because work is a civic duty instead of a voluntary one plainly speaking. I guess I wish work was looked at in a different light, somewhere you can still have fun and wear fun clothes because I feel like you can’t. Most people wear neutral boring outfits, but why? Is that their personality or is that what they feel corporate roles want you to take on?
