    The first woman they described sounds like a piece of work...but the other two are really no different than a lot of us. They ride in sweats or leggings...and they do what they can to spiff up once they get to work. Sounds pretty normal to me.

    If I had to dress fashionably, I'd be better about how I pack my clothes too...but since my work is casual, I'm lucky. And I too leave shoes at work...

    Except for the label-dropping first person, I don't see what's so 'high maintenance' about these women.

    You're right GLC, we're overfocused on perhaps the first chick.

    When I get in, I freshen up in the bathroom and get changed. I wear a lot of dresses. My favourite at the moment is a petrol-blue one by Jaeger, and I love The West Village, Zara and Paul & Joe. Shoes tend to pile up under my desk, so I bring the car in once a month to do a bit of a clearout.

    My day consists mainly of meetings with clients, so I always like to be wearing our jewellery. It’s the best way to market the product. The girls and I will raid the safe in the morning, and wear earrings, a necklace, a bracelet and ring — the bigger and more colourful the better. If I have to transport jewellery on my bike, I’ll always wear it. It’s much safer that way.


    For last the featured chick, she mentioned about her shoes piling up underneath desk. Sounds like alot of stuff there! I actually rarely feel comfortable wearing jewellery except for a certain of earrings (which is designed not to fall off) and my all-purpose watch, which is waterproof but not a sport watch. I will pack up a bracelet (I only wear 1 wide bracelet at a time. Not jaggley sets of thin bracelets nor charm bracelets. Not my style.) Or a necklace. But not wear them while biking.

    I do like the word "pootle" and plan to use it frequently.

    from the urban dictionary:

    pootle: To roam or wander "I'll just pootle down to the shops"

    I have a knee length black knit skirt with a rolled waist that I'll pair with leggings and ride to work. I get compliments on that outfit (I think it looks kind of goofy but hey). Of course, my commute is only 2 miles, so I can pretty much dress for work and ride in.

    Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

    Cycle! It's Good for the Wattle; it's good for the can!

    I don't know about you all, but that was about the farthest thing from my mind when I was in hard labor.

    I learned recently that there are some women for whom that happens as a natural consequence during birth. Why the heck not? It's all contracting down there already; all the same hormones are involved.

    eta: OTOH, I don't see the point in trying for it.
