Sounds like you could wear a nice shirt and pants and be fine. If you really want to jazz it up, go with a suit sans the tie.IMADreamer wrote:I had a request today to speak at some regional development thing. I'm fine with that I don't mind public speaking and all but I'm on the fence because it would break my never wear a suit again goal. They want me to talk about the "new business model" of being online only with the only product being content instead of physical goods. IE, blogging. I'm fine with that although I hardly feel highly successful at it. So I'm wondering if I showed up in shorts and a t shirt if that would look really bad, or almost fit the "I quit my day job and now I work from my couch" thing.

Just read the OP and couldn't help but think that IMAD was at a hypnotherapist who dropped dead while Dreamer was in a trance.

Re: Today is the last day I will ever wear a suit
I was wearing an ivory t-shirt with a pocket to work today (one of those really nice t-shirts, the $15 kind). I worked out this morning and the sweat machine was turned on, so I took my shirt off to cool off while I drove to work with the windows open. How it happened, I will never know, but the shirt got doused in coffee. Like three big blotches.
But ... I am prepared. For these very reasons (and also because I forget to bring things sometimes to the health club), I have a complete wardrobe change in my trunk. Jeans, charcoal grey t-shirt, underwear, socks. The only thing I don't have is shoes, but if I walk out of the house without shoes on I may as well just turn around and call it a day anyway.
The shirt is heavily wrinkled but based on the sniff test only worn once or twice. It's fine. I did spend about an hour outside at lunch just sitting at a park bench, but took the shirt off so as not to sweat it up. It will go back in the trunk first thing after work, to save yet another day.
