We interviewed a woman today who explained the year or so gap in her resume not about unemployment and downsizing, as I expected, but because she was working on her own business as an “image consultant.”

She looked OK, with a beige jacket over dark pants and blouse, in a very separates kind of way. And, she was larger sized, so I think the polyester blendedness is possibly difficult (or expensive) to avoid. And she had some kind of pearl type of necklace that offset the beige and dark nicely.

All in all, though, not sure about image. More importantly I spent the interview wondering what she was thinking about the zipper-decorated pants I was sporting. I haven’t had zipper-y pants since my anarchist fantasy days in London, using my Yankee dollars in Portabello Market and King’s Road.
