Overdress?

I am very fond of wearing dress to work. Mainly because Cat has a tendency to wake up late which left say couple of minutes to decide what to wear for the day before pulling out the ensemble. Very risky because if I am still half asleep, I will piece together a nasty combination and regret like hell (bloody miserable ) after I see myself in the office mirror .

So, dresses are often the safest bet because they tax the least fashion brain power.

As usual I woke up late for work this morning. I grabbed my newest purchase, a black dress. The sleeveless dress has a low v neckline, but not too indecent for office since it does not expose any cleavage and flare skirt up to my calves and a very stark contrasting white sash tie as a ribbon around the waist. I paused on the mirror on my way out, a little dressy for work but hell. No time already!

And....... the whole morning whoever i meet in office commented something. Most of them nice comments. BUT won't you be irritated if whoever you meet in office stop and give their comment on how you look? I was fine with the first few but it eventually got to my nerves when almost ALL my colleagues stopped and discuss my attire. In the end, I have to resort to saying "YES. I AM ATTENDING WEDDING DINNER TONIGHT" to shut them up. How bloody pathetic.

It also doesn't help that lunch was a appreciation dinner for all the senior officers from my organisation. Thus, I am "EXPOSED" to colleagues from other division. People (Men especially) who never see me before ( i bet they saw me) said hello and exclaimed that they hardly see me before. Even a director (rumored to be lecherous) singled me out and asked me for my name saying that he did not meet me before. Gosh... I felt like a stupid and irritated eye candy.

My conclusion. In an organisation it helps being a pretty young thing because you get noticed! Visibility counts greatly.
