One of the things that is difficult for me to work in the pharmacy is the fact that only the pharmacist is allowed to bring a coat or lunch box or purse into the pharmacy. And we are not given lockers for our personal belongings. So I’ve turned to wearing men’s pants to work a lot of the time. The reason for that is I want to put my wallet and keys and cell phone in my pockets. And for the most part, women’s clothes just don’t have pockets large enough to accommodate all of that.
So when I go shopping, I often go to the Menswear department to see what kind of nice looking clothes I can find there that I can wear to work. I don’t want to look too masculine, so it is a narrow line that I have to walk. But one of the interesting things is that my son and I wear the same size, so we often go shopping together. I depend on his fashion sense to keep me up to date on what the latest in men’s fashions so I don’t look too ridiculous!
