Maybe Fabulous Friday

First, I would like to apologize for not writing anything since last week. Sometimes life just takes over and you have to focus on things that may not be fun but necessary. This brings me to tomorrow. It's not just Friday. It could also be the last day of my current employment. The pessimist in me says I'm getting fired. I may be catastrophizing the situation just a bit. My partner and my co-worker/good friend think I'm being dramatic. However, my boss said she needs me to go to a "meeting" with her tomorrow morning but is not telling me what kind of meeting. She is being very vague and, shall I say, weird about it. I'm very suspicious. My co-worker, who has also been mandated to the meeting, is much more of an optimist. She keeps telling me that it is a meeting to honor our achievements and present us with roses and candy. Either way, it begs the question as to what I shall wear. What do you wear when you know you're getting canned? What do you wear when you know you're getting some kind of acknowledgment but not supposed to know about it?

If I'm getting fired, I decided I want to look very professional and assertive. This will make them realize that they've made a huge mistake by getting rid of someone so competent and capable. So how do I accomplish this? I would wear my black dress trousers, black or gray camisole, and turquoise silk knee length jacket. Then I will top it off with black heels and minimal accessories. The jacket is killer and will definitely make them remember who they just let walk out the door.

If I'm getting some kind of award or being recognized for my contributions to the company, I will probably go for something much less flashy. I don't want them to think I'm cocky or that I'm assuming they're going to honor me. I'll still wear the black pants but instead go with a bright, short sleeve, pink button-down collared shirt. I will finish that off with the black Steve Madden heels and a pink beaded necklace.

So, which outfit will I wear? Will the pessimist or optimist in me win? Stay tuned to find out.
