...and now you have that song stuck in your head.
You're welcome.
A sorta-kinda "resolution" of mine this year is to dress a little more thoughtfully for work (and everyday, but mainly for work). The dress code in my office is a very loose interpretation of "business casual", meaning most people show up in jeans, Chucks, and a collared shirt every single day. (As a woman, I can get away without the collar- some sort of cute sweater or something. Just not a t-shirt, unless it's a Friday.) This is to be expected when one works IT, and since sleep is a premium in the house, I really do appreciate that I can roll out of bed and throw on the first thing I see in my closet and still be considered office-appropriate. I especially love that nobody bats an eye if I decide to skip my make up.
But I've found that if I'm dressed nicer- even if that outfit still includes jeans- I tend to be in a better mood. And I need all the help I can get to be in a good mood at work nowadays, so if I have to get up a little earlier in order to actually do something with my hair, I think that's a sacrifice I need to make.
Normally nobody notices what I'm wearing, but if one of the handful of women in the office shows up in a skirt- a dress, no less- then everybody notices.
"Why are you so fancy today?"
"Do you have an interview?"
"Do you have to give a presentation?"
"Seriously, who are you interviewing with?"
Nope, nothing special about the day I wore this outfit. Just a Monday. Just felt like it. And you know what? When you wear gold sequins on a Monday, that Monday sucks just a little bit less.

Does the way you dress affect your mood?
