Relatedly, I heard a rumor we might get Casual Fridays here, and I immediately thought I would need to buy new clothes, because most of my scrubbing-around-on-the-weekend clothes aren't nice enough for work, I don't think.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also, I read something about not being in nylons or heels (or most synthetic fabrics) when planes go down in a flaming wreck. Sure if my plane crashes I have other issues. But on the off chance that I survive, I don't want to either puncture the little slide to get out nor do I want to deal with burns due to synthetic fabrics.
Perhaps I am overthinking this?
No, I knew someone who worked in airline safety and the no wearing stockings (because they will basically fuse to your leg) was her number one rule when it came to dressing for a flight.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
But airline travel is so much safer than car travel. Now granted, only a small percentage of car accidents result in fire that injures passengers, but I wonder if overall more people get burned from fire in car crashes than they do in plane crashes. But I've never heard of anyone recommending choosing clothes based on flammability for car travel.

How did you meet this person?
heh. At that great place to pick up men -- a baby shower! He is an old old college friend of my friend here and flew in for the baby shower we threw for her in April.

Here is me 15 years ago (in holey jeans, just to remain on topic)
I think I might need to friend you in Facebook to see it... Do you mind?

Oh, of course! I thought it was an open link.

I have the cold feet on the plane issue too. I must wear socks and shoes.
I am the polar opposite. I can't stand wearing shoes and socks, and they are off as soon as I get settled in a seat when I am traveling. (And I never wear flip flops.) The same goes for a movie theatre. I think I just having my toes confined.

You might need to write a song titled "Frequent Flyer Romance" or "Baby Shower Daddy" or "Chicago's Burning" or "The Big Boss With The Hot Sauce" or (in a more Belle and Sebastian vein) "Dude, You Hold Your Cock Like a Peasant."

I wear black yoga pants and a black t-shirt when I fly. My criteria for airplanewear are (a) comfy enough to fall asleep in (no zippers or pinchy bits) and (b) no pockets (so nothing to accidentally forget when going through security) and (c) not embarrassing to wear on the subway while getting to the airport.
