vaguely ethnic swan

so the hardest thing about working my super super super corporate job, besides the fact that i work at least 12 hours a day and weekends, is that i have to dress like a total square at work. which pains me as someone who's really into wearing remarkable clothing and is very very vain. this especially ruins me because i hate looking like an herb on the train. this is about as far as i can push it:

jil sander blazer / club monaco scarf / uniqlo khakis / sockman gloves / buttero shoes

this differs a fair amount from what i normally wear. to quote nelson muntz, "i feel like punching myself." one day i will have a job where i can be cool. SIGH.
