So, I just got this job working as a sales associate in Ann Taylor's Loft and sure I had thoughts in the back of my mind that their style just might not be so open to the way I dress, but I tried to reason that since it's a women's clothing store that maybe it would be open to anything!
Welp. I was wrong.
Nothing amazingly terrible happened to me. I mean, I thought my outfit was pretty "normal". Just a cute grey and pink flowery sundress, off-white boots, and a hat that I placed a small little stuffed turtle on.
So as I am about to get ready to leave, my manager tells me that she forgot to tell me about the dress code rules. "If you wear denim, then it must be Loft denim. The outfit you have on is cute, but it needs to go with the colour flow of the store. You know..Blacks, whites, and oranges." Of course I was thinking "D: no real colour?" I know that it may just seem like a few really simple rules, but that is going to throw me into a conundrum for the rest of the summer as I try to figure out how to put together outfits I like while simultaneously trying to figure out what THEY like.
They say the Loft is supposed to be creative and fun, but I can't put together outfits that define ME.
But, ALAS, I SHALL figure something out and put together the best black and white outfit EVEEEER.
Welcome to the working world.
