Freaking the mundanes at work...

Howdy!

I came to work dressed in my newest duds -- the ones I wore to T on T that Megan stayed up way too late finishing for me.

I'm in an orange linen undertunic with a raisin-colored silk overtunic with elbow length sleeves. The linen washed up really soft. It's wonderful to wear, and the tunics nearly reach the floor.

The reactions have been, predictably, across the spectrum, but mostly clueful.

However, there were the two visitors who seemed to nearly swoon when they saw me...

*tee hee*

Sounds really good to me. I'm being boring today. Somehow I couldn't picture the gov't being excited for me to be wearing garb, and sure enough, no one is in costume.

Me too. You'd think I was being goth, except for the orange socks and scrunchie...

I've seen one, count em one, person my building dressed up. And she's not wearing a wig or makeup or anything, just that really cheap nylon black witches dress with the dagged hem.

The 2nd floor of my building is all dressed up (as shown by the party they were having on the balcony when I walked under it) but I think I'm the only one wearing black, and I'd be wearing black anyway because it's clean :)

The one time I wore one of my Viking apron dresses to my old job, my boss thought I was Amish **rolls eyes**

Today I'm in a stealth costume. Everything I'm wearing (except, maybe the eyeball socks) I've worn to work before just not together. It's just one step weirder than my normal eccentric style and not overly noticeable. If you're a Harry Potter fan you'd probably recognize me, if your Inner Eye wasn't myopic ;-)
