What Not to Wear on TLC used to be one of my favorite shows. I loved watching them buy new clothes and help transform people’s looks. For a while, I considered dressing poorly and staging my entrance onto the show. Of course, most of the show is predicated off of helping people dress more professionally for the workplace, and I don’t even have a real job yet. So needless to say, that idea probably won’t happen. Nor would I ever want to look like those people do before Stacy and Clinton worked their magic.

While it’s hard to say what I imagine myself wearing to work since I don’t even know what I want to do, many images flash through my mind. I’ve always believed that I could be a well-dressed professional. If I were to work in an office, I would love to wear cute professional clothing and dress up everyday. Now if I were to be an outdoor adventurer, my attire would be extremely different. I could get a good pair of hiking boots, some nice zip-off pants, and a big floppy sun hat to protect myself. I’d be perfectly happy with that outfit, as well. And if I were to be a chef, I would definitely love to wear some gray checker board pants and a chef’s hat, because who doesn’t want to dress up like that everyday?

Not all jobs require the same attire, but it is a huge skill to know what to wear. When interviewing, it’s important to look professional and give off a good first impression. And once you’ve started your job, you can get a feel for your everyday wear.

Although it’s probably not the best idea to base what job you would like to have off of what clothing you want to wear, but it may be something to consider. And definitely don’t have to be sabotaged by your friends and put on What Not to Wear, because then you know you have gone too far downhill.
