[speaker001:] okay why don't you start so you probably have a job you need to get to pretty soon
[speaker002:] I'm already on my job so you're you reached me at my job
[speaker001:] oh you are oh wonderful well how do you dress for work
[speaker002:] my my dress for work uh most of the time is uh rather comfortable and casual
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] uh usually uh slacks and a soft colored shirt the um thing that that distinguishes me a lot of the time when I have to dress real professionally for a meeting or something is I wear a clerical collar
[speaker001:] uh-huh
[speaker002:] and a suit and uh all of that sort of thing but when I don't need to dress up for a a meeting or a service of some sort I don't
[speaker001:] um-hum so you in a church there
[speaker002:] yes
[speaker001:] uh-huh well I'm working this is my first morning to work down at our little church preschool and they've told me to wear just something terribly comfortable because these are two year olds and they have a lot of uh they they have Bible lessons and they have all the things during the morning but they still have snack time and play time so I'm gonna be dressing just in casual slacks and T-shirts probably not blue jeans but little bit short of that just just tennis shoes and play clothes
[speaker002:] well around there you can probably wear uh T-shirts and other things but around here at this time of the year we are into sweaters and uh coats
[speaker001:] yeah I'm envious well it's a beautiful day here and it's in the sixties but we still have a lot of hot afternoons it's supposed to be eighty five today so you'll still see people it's a it's kind of an in between change they're they're in their play clothes I mean they're in their summer clothes during the afternoons because you just can't stand the sweaters but in the mornings people are dressing for work in their sweaters because they just want it to be fall so badly
[speaker002:] today today we we wear coats and as the day uh warms up we may go to light jackets but I don't think there's an escape from light jackets
[speaker001:] do you I understand
[speaker002:] the wind will take away a lot of body heat
[speaker001:] well so are the people around you um uh dressing similar to you
[speaker002:] very similar
[speaker001:] um-hum so you don't have a you don't have to buy the lot of the wardrobe that some of the people in banking and that kind of thing do
[speaker002:] no I'm not stuck with that kind of a uh situation
[speaker001:] well that's good that's good
[speaker002:] as I say unless it happens to be now yesterday I had to dress up and and um be more formal because I had a a formal meeting at noon time
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] but then I can go home later in the day and and be a little more casual
[speaker001:] well that's wonderful
[speaker002:] and then if I have a a a meeting of people that I know I can be very casual in the evening
[speaker001:] well my husband has to take the bus into Dallas and doesn't return all day so he has to dress and he's just really hates that they have the long sleeve shirts and the whole tie and the whole suit and even when his job is not gonna be with people all day long he said it's just part of the uniform and the expected image that they have to dress
[speaker002:] yeah that's around here in a lot of places that's the way it is I mean there there are expected expected uh dress codes
[speaker001:] um-hum um-hum
[speaker002:] and the people need to follow that I think uh years ago I used to be far more uh committed to the idea of of a dress code but I've
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] relaxed a lot more as I've gotten older and become more comfortable with myself
[speaker001:] well I think that's I think that's great I think that's good
[speaker002:] it's taken a long time to break away from from that but now that I've broken away from it I'm I'm glad I have
[speaker001:] I understand well another interesting thing on the our our end here is how even even in my forties how much younger I dress than my mother would have in her forties and I will uh run around to the store and things in slacks and tennis shoes and she
[speaker002:] you mean you don't need to wear little old house dresses anymore
[speaker001:] right and pearls and she would not have even probably owned a pair of tennis shoes after she got out of high school so uh she tells me I dress young but that's okay keeps me young
[speaker002:] that's a good idea that's a good idea
[speaker001:] well there's not a lot more I can think of to discuss on clothing
[speaker002:] no they're you know what
[speaker001:] so I I guess this is what you call a natural end
[speaker002:] yeah what kind what kind of shoes do they wear down there
[speaker001:] well we wear uh course um like I said if if my husband's going downtown he's got the whole uh you know the dress men's dress shoes
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] but for as out here just anything that the moms we all kind of have our own little dress code of just either tennis shoes or little loafers and and uh tights and things that feel comfortable to us around our kids
[speaker002:] we we can wear pretty much that although um tennis shoes are kind of out in in almost every every situation
[speaker001:] yeah I'm sure they are there yeah I'm sure they are
[speaker002:] unless you wanna look like a gook
[speaker001:] that's right I'm sure that's true it's a lot different than working in a kid's preschool that's right well you all have a nice day there
[speaker002:] a lot different you too and thank you for calling um-hum bye
[speaker001:] thank you very much bye-bye
