Linwood Barclay is my new hero.

Given a previous post on dressing professionally, I think that Barclay's article is very important to those of us who constantly agonize over what to wear. This is one of the many reasons I do not own light coloured 'bottoms' of any sort.

Since I'm on the topic of clothing, I found myself in a dress very recently (I know...how did that happen?), and I was completely uncomfortable. I've always been a jeans kind of gal, with the occasional dress pant thrown in for good measure. As I was standing there awkwardly wondering exactly what was being exposed by said dress, I thought to myself that never again will I dress in something I'm not happy in. I couldn't imagine being stuck in that thing while trying to present a paper or moving around at a conference. I just like pants! I don't have to think about sitting down/getting up with any kind of strategy. I do a lot of reaching and bending at work as well, so I'm happy that I do not have to worry about exposure of any kind. Thank goodness skirts are not a requirement for librarians *phew* So in response to Barclay, yes...pants are totally worth the trouble.
