So, you've heard of shabby chic, hobo chic, and meth chic, right? (Okay, that last one I made up. But I have five bucks that says you hear it for real in the next year.)
Apparently, I am public defender chic.
My nonprofit has been sharing the building with a new tenant -- the Public Defenders Office. It is not staffed by eye candy like Dylan McDermott, but the folks seem nice enough. Anyway, they keep very strict hours. They also keep their front doors locked outside of those strict hours, so clients are often found hovering next to the front doors waiting for the lawyers to open up.
I passed by one such gentleman on my way into work. Glancing up from his phone for a nano-second, he intoned, "Closed!"
This was intended as an act of kindness, to save me the trouble of jiggling the door handle, I guess. But I looked down at my rumpled khakis and slightly askew blouse and thought, "Herm. Perhaps I should re-consider my look if he believes me to be a fellow defendant."
**Cue the landslide of offers to fund a new wardrobe. What? I get like eight hits A DAY! Surely that's worth some paid advertising?**
