Too Busy To Shop!
I am so busy lately. But I’d like to think that that’s good. I’ve started going to a new clinic which looks very promising.
But I’ve realized that I dress to casually for work. People want to see a doktora looking a little bit on the glamorous side. They want an image of a successful woman (or man, for that matter).
Since I’ve given birth though, I haven’t exactly maintained my already-not-too-perfect figure. But I suppose I do need to buy a few pieces of clothes. I’m eyeing some summer styles since it’s the most practical style here in the Philippines, us having only 2 seasons. And maybe get some accessories that would suit those new clothes. I’m so glad we can actually shop online nowadays, with great sites like shopwiki, as my schedule has been VERY packed lately.
I am also browsing through some men’s clothes since I do believe that my husband also needs to update his wardrobe. He lost a lot of weight (which is good because he used to be overweight) so some of his clothes hang loosely on him. He’ll look better with clothes that are better fitting.
The reality for us doctors is that no matter how competent we really are, we do need to project an outward image of professionalism and success. People do equate success with outward appearance. So do dress your part.
Yeah, I agree with you on this. People tend to equate success with superficial means, but there are also people who are wise enough to see through, though there are few of them.
