Very upset about my wardrobe...
 

Hi. I have another problem, aside from the ones I already have. But this problem is not an emotional issues like all the other ones I have. As you know, I do not have a job. I do have the promise of an interview, but I don't have nice enough clothing to wear. Most of the clothing I have is from thrift stores and sample sales.

Most of my jewerly was bought at street fairs. I have a lot of rings, earings, and neclaces...all in the $10-$15 dollar range. Most of it is silver pewter.

So what I am going to wear to the interview?? I have a girlfriend that may lend me some jewerly, and even offered to loan me some clothing, but I am very petite,...so it will not fit.

I feel like such a 'rag picker.' And the interview is shortly approaching. Can anyone offer suggestions??

Thank you,
Pam.

We have a thing here in Dayton called Clothes That Work - I'm sure Queens has something similar. It's a clothing place where women can get an entire work-ready/interview-ready wardrobe. It's free.

Thank you for your kind response. When I saw you mention 'Queens' I was almost shocked, but then I remembered
the webmaster, Mr. Undertoad, verifying where I live.

I will try your suggestion. I need a miracle. Isn't Dayton
in Ohio?? I've never really traveled much out of the North
East, but I think you are there.

How have the other posters here treated you?? I woke up
this morning and saw what some people were saying about
me. I'll admit, it did hurt a bit...

Your friend,
Pam

I don't know how it is shopping for women's clothing at thrift stores, but my entire wardrobe of men's professional clothes were purchased at thrift stores. I don't pay retail price for anything. I've been able to gradually build up a very nice set of slacks, button-up shirts, and v-neck sweaters. All name brands and in good condition. I bought a pair of brand-new dress shoes for $12.50.

Maybe we have better thrift stores in Texas?

what is the job?

Hi Flint. I am trying to remain positive after some of the people here viewing me as a circus animal for their entertainment; but then I am so lost, and I did post about my circumstances, so I guess I brought it onto myself.

Brianna gave me a good suggestion, so I am checking into it. After all, this is NY. Have you ever been here? I have been to TX one time. Everyone is very pleasant and nice. Although I am freightened by people walking around with guns. That is not allowed here.

My medication was not balanced last night, so I was very upset, but doing a bit better today. And I appreciate your response.

Your friend,
Pam.

It would be working in a clothing store...so I would need more than one outfit. The whole thing is just intimidating.

I am poor, yet would be selling very nice clothing to rich people.
It's a very well known store on 5th Avenue.

Aside from clothing, my hair is a mess, and I am not that attractive.
The only reason I am getting this interview is because of a friend.
I know that is the reason...

Sadly,
Pam.

go in with torn stuff and bed head. shabby chic.

Yes, I am 'shabby.' But at least I am honest about that part of me. There are many pieces of me; and if you chose to look more closely you would see them...

Take care - Pam.

i didn't call you shabby

i said use your 'weakness' as a strength

love and kisses,

Jim

oh... wait... maybe you thought 'chic' was pronounced like 'chick'. its 'sheek'.

Yes, you did. You called me 'shabby chick.' Although that is accurate, it is not a very nice thing to say. We should all strive
to get along here, despite our opinions and circumstances...

I do not think Mr. Undertoad would appreciate mean comments
such as yours on his website. I think you are a very angry person.

this is fun.

>hands jimhelm another bag of troll food...

OK, I guess they are two different words. You did say 'chic.' I did look it up on the interent and it means 'fancy.' I misunderstood, and I am very sorry.

I am very stressed about my clothing for the interview. I also have a problem with my landlord. He is mean to me, and does not turn on the heat all winter. I pray for spring. I am so cold right now...

I am going to have some wine...

Pam.
