okay why don't you start so you probably have a job you need to get to pretty soon
i'm already on my job so you're you reached me at my job
oh you are
oh wonderful well how do you dress for work
my my dress for work uh most of the time is uh rather comfortable and casual
um-hum
uh usually uh slacks and a soft colored shirt
the um thing that that distinguishes me a lot of the time when i have to dress real professionally for a meeting or something is i wear a clerical collar
uh-huh
and a suit and uh all of that sort of thing but when i don't need to dress up for a a meeting or a service of some sort i don't
um-hum
so you in a church there
yes
uh-huh well i'm working this is my first morning to work down at our little church preschool and they've told me to wear just something terribly comfortable because these are two year olds
and they have a lot of uh they they have Bible lessons and they have all the things during the morning but they still have snack time and play time so i'm gonna be dressing just in casual slacks and T-shirts
probably not blue jeans but little bit short of that just just tennis shoes and play clothes
well around there you can probably wear uh T-shirts and other things but around here at this time of the year we are into sweaters and uh coats
yeah
i'm envious well it's a beautiful day here and it's in the sixties but we still have a lot of hot afternoons it's supposed to be eighty five today
so you'll still see people it's a it's kind of an in between change they're they're in their play clothes i mean they're in their summer clothes during the afternoons
because you just can't stand the sweaters but in the mornings people are dressing for work in their sweaters because they just want it to be fall so badly
today today we we wear coats and as the day uh warms up we may go to light jackets but i don't think there's an escape from light jackets
do you
i understand
the wind will take away a lot of body heat
well so are the people around you um uh dressing similar to you
very similar
um-hum so you don't have a you don't have to buy the lot of the wardrobe that some of the people in banking and that kind of thing do
no i'm not stuck with that kind of a uh situation
well that's good
that's good
as i say unless it happens to be now yesterday i had to dress up and and um be more formal because i had a a formal meeting at noon time
um-hum
but then i can go home later in the day and and be a little more casual
well that's wonderful
and then if i have a a a meeting of people that i know i can be very casual in the evening
well my husband has to take the bus into Dallas and doesn't return all day so he has to dress
and he's just really hates that they have the long sleeve shirts and the whole tie and the whole suit
and even when his job is not gonna be with people all day long he said it's just part of the uniform and the expected image that they have to dress
yeah that's around here in a lot of places that's the way it is i mean there there are expected expected uh dress codes
um-hum
um-hum
and the people need to follow that i think uh years ago i used to be far more uh committed to the idea of of a dress code but i've
um-hum
relaxed a lot more as i've gotten older and become more comfortable with myself
well i think that's i think that's great i think that's good
it's taken a long time to break away from from that but now that i've broken away from it i'm i'm glad i have
i understand
well another interesting thing on the our our end here is how even even in my forties how much younger i dress than my mother would have in her forties
and i will uh run around to the store and things in slacks and tennis shoes and she
you mean you don't need to wear little old house dresses anymore
right and pearls and she would not have even probably owned a pair of tennis shoes after she got out of high school so uh she tells me i dress young but that's okay keeps me young
that's a good idea that's a good idea
well there's not a lot more i can think of to discuss on clothing
no they're you know what
so i i guess this is what you call a natural end
yeah what kind what kind of shoes do they wear down there
well we wear uh course um like i said if if my husband's going downtown he's got the whole uh
you know the dress men's dress shoes
um-hum
but for as out here just anything that the moms we all kind of have our own little dress code of just either tennis shoes or little loafers and and uh tights and things that feel comfortable to us around our kids
we we can wear pretty much that although um tennis shoes are kind of out in in almost every every situation
yeah i'm sure they are there yeah i'm sure they are
unless you wanna look like a gook
that's right i'm sure that's true it's a lot different than working in a kid's preschool that's right well you all have a nice day there
a lot different
you too and thank you for calling um-hum bye
thank you very much bye-bye
