Over dressed

It’s the opposite. In order to avoid the feeling of under dressed, under prepared or not ready I plan, prep and practice. It works well as long as it’s enjoyable. When it turns into stress is when I over prepare or even prepare the wrong thing. A group I am working with is the opposite. One persons described it as coming to meeting with a cup of coffee like you were meeting a friend. In one way it creates a loving, comfortable environment. On the other it creates an environment where there is no preparation, so nothing ever moves forward. One of the best things about a best friend is the security of the relationship staying the same. I like to not have fig leaves with my best friends. Underdressed and under prepared to let our time together flow and just be. I don’t want to be a fig leaf at work, but I never considered that someone else may not have any fig leaves. And maybe doesn’t want any.

  1. NOTE: This is "Macoff" from the current 40Days "Dippers")... I am figuring you are being metaphorical throughout your piece, and that you are not referring to CLOTHING or FASHION. I suppose we can't discern, and certainly can't control, the extent to which others we know (or think we know) are wearing "masks" (are "overdressed")...
