"Dress for success" only gets you chump change!
I pride myself on trying to be well dressed (at least when the occasion arises), but while I was looking at Zombietime's latest post about Barack Obama's visit to Billionaires Row in San Francisco, I saw a picture of a man who made me feel ashamed to wear a suit and tie:
Underneath the picture was this fashion tip for billionaires: Fancy clothes are for mere millionaires and social climbers. When you get past a certain level of wealth, you inevitably assume the "casual billionaire" style, most famously expounded by Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. It's like -- I don't even have to try.I never realized it until now, but I think I may be too overdressed to ever really make money. I try to learn something every day, and the Obama billionaires have much to teach us. If you want your style to match the times, be sure to check out the post. UPDATE: M. Simon just pointed out that Glenn Reynolds linked the above post, but I got the link in an email this morning. Glenn is right to express concern about "two Americas," and the "fancy houses and big political donations." I see Glenn's point, but I'm sick of having to live in the other America where people dress for success like a bunch of brainwashed lemmings. As I made clear, it's time for a change! posted by Eric on 04.09.08 at 08:51 PM |
