Unqualified for this gig, really.

Looking over my pictures from last weekend's camping trip, I realize that I might not be the most qualified academic for a fashion blog. I mean, look at this picture. This is my rain gear. Sure, it's a belted trench (Calvin Klein, got it at TJ Maxx for $100!) and a Nats cap, but it's really not appropriate to the place or the rainstorm! I am wearing this outfit in the WOODS.

I have a similar problem these days picking out clothes for work. Appropriate for weather you've heard about. It's really appropriate for my commute. Here in the Deep South we're not big on public transportation (don't get me started). Sadly, I found my soul dying the year I lived in College Town, so I moved to the nearest big city and started commuting 50 miles each way. Thankfully I have to be on campus only two or three times a week, and several other profs joined me living "in town," so I can carpool a lot, but I'm still stuck in a car for about an hour en route to work.

The problem? Wrinkles! What I'm really wondering is whether everyone else on the planet is wearing wrinkle-proof fabrics that I simply have not discovered, or whether everyone else has secret steamers in their offices. Inquiring minds want to know!
