This is totally inspired by my Mentor, who is a very important figure in my life.
Even though I work in an organisation which has a No Dress-code policy in place and I was used to taking full advantage of that by wearing whatever I like to the office.
The day I popped in to greet my mentor in the office about lunch time since I was around the area. He was shocked to see me dressed like that to the office (I was wearing a long top and footless tights and sandals) this was a Tuesday by the way so there was absolutely no need for Formal wear as far as I was concerned, especially because i am not customer-facing so no one really pays too much attention to your dressing (or so I thought in my head).
He gave me the speech on "Dress how you want to be Addressed" and how your dressing says a lot to the people around you and how they treat you with more respect accordingly. So I made a promise to Always dress properly in an office environment regardless of a dress-code system in place or not and I have to tell you I have felt the difference in the way people talk to me and add a little bit of respect to me and the constant daily compliments on my dressing i receive and like my toasters have suddenly increased (not that it was my aim in the 1st place).
So I decided to take a picture everyday at work (Courtesy of my colleague who has a phone camera that works wonders compared to my crappy phone camera & practices his photography skills on me (the Muse))
