Dress for Success!

The book Dress for Success came out while I was still in High School, back in the 70's. Simply put, it stressed the importance of presenting yourself appropriately dressed for the position you were working or seeking. One of my wife's sayings is "Dress for the job you want not the job you have". Sage advise I must say. However, I am seeing, on an alarming increase, people going out in public in their pajamas and house shoes! I am told that I am old fashioned and it isn't a big deal but to me it is quite disturbing. To start with I never wanted to picture what these people look like when they go to bed. I don't even like to visit a friend in the hospital because I don't want a picture of them laying in bed in a gown or pajamas. I don't want to know what they sleep in. Secondly, it appears that they haven't even taken care of the necessary prep work most people go through in the morning ie. shower, wash hair, brush teeth, put on deodorant. etc... Finally, how hard is it really to just change into day time clothes. I mean really, have we gotten so lazy that we can't even take off our pajamas and put on some clothes before we leave the house? I'm Dad and I'm just saying...put some clothes on.
