Dress code?? Yeah, I don't think so.

I really dislike the snow. I usually don't whine about the weather (or anything, for that matter) but this continuous downfall of white powder is not making me happy.

Why?

Having recently graduated from this beautiful College, my entire family thought that they should make sure I was properly clothed for the "real world". So, they purchased dress pants, sweaters, button-down shirts, argyle everything (including a skateboard, even though I don't know how to board and can't board in this weather anyway), usw. So I'm totally ready for the "real world" when my world came crashing down: We've been hit with snowstorms the past 5, 6 weeks.

I may not be a girly-girl but I'm definitely not going to ruin my beautiful adult-like clothing in this nasty weather. Snow, ice and everything in-between will have no chance to ruin my new clothing. I have been wearing my new tops to work now, because it takes more work to ruin them.

I would like you all to look at the picture above: this is my outfit today. Lovely sweater, black Chuck Taylor's (Jackass Number Two edition WITH the matching shoelaces) and of course (cue the scary music)....... dreaded old man pants!!!!

No clue what old man pants are? Slightly frightened by the name? Horrified that I wear old man pants?

First, let me reassure you that I am actually wearing women's pants. Second, I have never worn men's clothing. Third, I have no inclination to wear men's clothing. Fourth, I am not calling them 'old man pants' to offend anyone, including men who are older. Sorry if my pants offend you; that is not my intention.

I call these pants my "old man pants" because they appear like pants old men would wear. They are pants for many activities, including golf, running errands, playing bingo, work, sleeping and going out for dinner after a stressful day. I should actually call them my "multi-purpose pants" but that doesn't run off my tongue like "old man pants".
