“Thisss… ssstuf”??... Oh, okay, I see…you think this has nothing to do with you…you go in to your closet and you select, I don’t know that lumpy blue sweater, for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what you put in your back but what you don’t know is that that sweater is not just “blue” is not turquoise, it’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean… And you’re also blithely unaware of the fact that that in 2002 Oscar de la Renta did a collection of cerulean gowns and then I think it was Yves Saint Laurent, wasn’t it, who showed cerulean military jackets. I think we need a jacket here. And then cerulean quickly showed up in the collection of eight different designers. And then it filtered down through the department stores and then trickled on down into some tragic casual corner where you, no doubt, fished it out of some clearance bin.
However, that “blue” represents millions of dollars and countless jobs. And it’s sort of comical how you think that you’ve made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry when infact, you’re wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room from a pile of “stuff” …..

Well, go ahead…. memorize.
I love my boss but she’s so demanding!! I have a general rule to be two steps ahead of my bosses just so I don’t get blind sided but with her, I can barely keep up!
But in this case, I wear good clothes to the office. The “stuff” we’re referring to are not identical belts but high-powered enterprise computing servers with all the bells and whistles- which can look exactly the same but completely doing different purposes.
And my boss, bless her heart, probably wears Nine West.
I wear Zegna. Maybe I’m the devil! I wish… wishes are free, hor…
P.S. Zegna is on sale!! EYE.LOVE.EAT!
