And yet another rant

After the aforementioned dinner on Friday I was walking home with a classmate who happens to be in my clinical skills ASCM group. Anyways she mentions that our tutor said for next week, especially for our new tutor, we are expected to wear nicer clothing. Uh-huh, like our white coats when we're on the wards I'm thinking. Then she said, nooo, like nicer clothing...and then she told me that our tutor had told her and others that I, for example was not dressed nice enough. Huh? This took me by surprise. I'm not one to say that I dress the best in the class or anything, however I would never picture myself to not dress nicely. I've been a little puzzled by this all weekend. I'm trying to figure out what was so bad about it.

I found it a little tasteless that she would tell the group and not tell me. Having to hear it from a 3rd party is pretty jarring, especially since she wasn't specific about what I needed to change. I was wearing brown dress pants, with a white tank top and a pink wrap sweater over top. Perhaps I wasn't being conservative or boring enough. Anyway, I'll take it as an excuse to go shopping?! Problem is I had bought all of those things within less than a year. Which means my style has to change as well....why can't I just be me?
