[speaker001:] Hi, Cynthia. What did you wear to work today?
[speaker002:] Um, let's see. What did I wear to work today? Um, actually I wore corduroy shorts with a white blouse, um, and flat shoes.
[speaker001:] So, can you dress pretty casually?
[speaker002:] Um, on occasion.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] On occasion. Um, I do vary. Um, you know, I wear suits, I wear skirts and sweaters. On occasion I can wear jeans. Um, how about you?
[speaker001:] Well, I, um, run a business out of my home.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] So I tend to get up in the morning, put on,
[speaker002:] Yes.
[speaker001:] sweats, um,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] do whatever I want to do with the kids, then whenever I have a meeting with a client, I'll put a suit on.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] And then come home and get back into regular clothes again [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. Um, you know, there's real no, no real dress code where I work. Um, you see people wearing, you know, all different attire. I, um, don't like to wear heels, that really tires me out. I work in a big building.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] So, I predominantly wear flat shoes. Um, you know, in the winter I wear sweaters, in summer I, you know, I like one piece dresses, short sleeves, things like that.
[speaker001:] I've recently, um, tried to update my wardrobe, trying to put suits together that I can interchange, the,
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] jackets and the blouses and all that a lot.
[speaker002:] Right.
[speaker001:] That's helped me a lot with having, I can only have a, a limited wardrobe, since I'm only,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] working part-time right now.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Um, but still, it gives it some variety.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Add different blouses and scarves and belts and things like that.
[speaker002:] Right, right, accessories, uh-huh.
[speaker001:] What about your casual wear? Do you like to wear jeans most of the time?
[speaker002:] Um, yeah mostly. I mean, at home I predominantly wear [speaker laughs while saying remainder of statement] sweatpants and things like that,
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] also.
[speaker001:] It's nice you can wear shorts, especially on a day like today when it's so hot.
[speaker002:] Yeah, well, they're, um, you know, they're like Ber-,
[speaker001:] Dress shorts.
[speaker002:] yeah, they're like black corduroy Ber-, Bermuda shorts.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] And sometimes I wear a blazer with them, and I get really a lot of compliments on them. Um, where I work is predominantly male.
[speaker001:] Yeah.
[speaker002:] So, you know, they, their attire is always the same, you know. Suits or slacks,
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] you know, jeans, whatever.
[speaker001:] Yeah, but,
[speaker002:] And, um, but I'm really the only woman, I guess, at work that does that, but seems to work for me [breathing] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] [LAUGHTER] Yeah, but.
[speaker002:] In fact, I just bought, I, I just got a new outfit as a gift that, um, it's one of those skorts, you know, th-, it's shorts but it looks like a skirt.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] So, I think that'll be good for work, too.
[speaker001:] Oh, yeah. It'll be comfortable.
[speaker002:] Yeah. Yeah. So,
[speaker001:] I guess down here, uh, we just recently moved to Texas, so my wardrobe has changed quite a bit.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Um, we moved from Colorado where, and I have a closet full of sweaters.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] That,
[speaker002:] Well, see, I live in Virginia.
[speaker001:] You live in Virginia, now?
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Oh, that's interesting.
[speaker002:] Yeah. Yeah. So, I'm, you know, like right now, today was in about, you know, the fifties.
[speaker001:] Uh-huh.
[speaker002:] But, um, you know, I, I do wear a lot of sweaters and things like sweater dresses.
[speaker001:] Yeah. I'd like to be able to wear those here. Today it's eighty-eight degrees.
[speaker002:] Oh, my [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] So [LAUGHTER],
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Needless to say, my sweaters have been hung in the closet for quite a while now [LAUGHTER].
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] Today was, uh, definitely a shorts day around here.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] [Throat clearing].
[speaker002:] Yeah, we're still pretty much, you know, in winter, as far as that goes here.
[speaker001:] This is pretty un-, unseasonal, but, uh, at least, we, you know, it, it, it feels good, it gets, uh, everybody doesn't have cabin fever today. It's nice to get,
[speaker002:] Uh-huh.
[speaker001:] out and about.
[speaker002:] Uh-huh. I guess we've discussed everything there is about clothing [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Okay.
[speaker002:] [LAUGHTER].
[speaker001:] Sounds good.
[speaker002:] Okay?
[speaker001:] It was nice talking to you.
[speaker002:] Okay, it was nice talking to you, also.
[speaker001:] Bye-bye.
[speaker002:] Bye-bye.
