Days @ ISB

Moving out of b-school and into the corporate world brings with it a lot of changes. Adhering to dress code is not the least of them. As a student, I had a free run as far as attire was concerned. In fact we also had dress-themed parties where we could bring out our wild side. One such party called for slumber dressing, resulting in us turning up in night suits, shorts and pyjamas. One was a traffic light party where we could wear red, green etc as per our marital status. Most of us went to classes in jeans or cargos or even shorts. Immediately after graduation, I had to go for a wardrobe update to prepare for the corporate world. I hated wearing business casuals, but had no alternative. Slowly, after four months of post-MBA life, I feel business casual is the best way to dress. It makes one look smart and professional, and makes me realize I am not in school anymore. But I still eagerly look forward to Fridays as we have casual Friday dressing in place.

More later.
