I know I shouldn't care about this but I do. She's 42 but she dresses like a teenager: hoodie, ripped jeans (who wears those past 16?) and Addidas sneakers or Converse (I don't know if that's how you call these shoes in the US so I've added a picture for clarification). I thought it was odd at first but now I find it annoying because I think it's unprofessional. Like would you wear ripped jeans at work? I wouldn't unless I was working at a surfer shop or something. She's a therapist, she really should be wearing more professional clothes. All the therapists I previously saw were wearing business clothes. So maybe I'm just not used to this. What do you guys think? Do you care about your T's clothes? Does it affect you?
I wouldn't wear ripped jeans, but I usually wear high tops (in my 40's) and jeans to meetings, but I do creative work and dazzle them with talent. My therapist dresses professionally, but I like it best when she wears saddle shoes and funky socks. I guess it's just personal taste and what you feel comfortable with. If you like her work, maybe that's worth putting up with the effect her clothes have on you.
Thanks for this!
