For some reason, I just cant wear formals or even semi-formals to work. On a few ocassions, I have tried to don on the khakhi trousers and a decent shirt to office, but I always get second thoughts after putting them on. I start feeling too dressy and get a little tense about having to handle the clothes properly all day long. I suspect that at a subconscious level, I fear I will have to act and behave more formally in those clothes. Almost always, I take them off, get into a pair of denims, t-shirt and sneakers heave a sigh and head to work.

Whats great about this attire is you dont have to care about them too much and they are comfortable. A little dirty denims are no problem at all (look at all those big brand names selling new denims that look ragged and greasy !) . Ironing is not a big issue. And you dont have to really wash your hands after lunch... you can wipe them off your denims. Enough said. (Sometimes I wonder what will I do if one fine day I find myself in a job that requires formalwear. We shall see. )

In my opinion sneakers are the most comfortable footwear. I prefer to wear them almost all the time. But I have this nasty habit of visiting those online deal sites during idle browsing and today I found a 40% off coupon for Rockport shoes. Good deals are a big personal weakness. Add to that all those semi-formal clothes wasting away in my closet, I found myself locating a store nearby in the Great Mall and went there in the evening. Searched the whole mall directory, no mention of Reebok/Rockport store. Heavy swearing. Got a couple of t-shirts from Gap. The cashier female told me I smelled nice ! Feeling good about it since. And I was about to throw away that vintage Eternity.

Federer creamed Hewitt in the US open. Awesome display. I was rooting for Hewitt following my natural affiliation for underdogs but Federer played incredibly well. Pete Sampras memories. Feeling too sleepy now... guess will break off here.
