6.7.12 Inspiration: Jacques Cousteau
What: H&M navy striped t shirt, Uniqlo blue cotton suit, Dr. Marten's blue lace ups and Gucci blue leather briefcase
Why It's My Favorite: I grew up watching Jacques Cousteau and his underwater adventures on TV. He sounded like Pepe La Pew come to life. But he gave me up chasing pussycats for fish in the middle of the ocean. Jacques helped to enlighten me to the fact that he actually worked outside of an office. The boat was his office. The fish were his co-workers. And he did it with so much joy.
This favorite childhood memory inspired me to dress like my favorite sailor. Since I was having such a difficult and busy week at work, which continues through this week, I was reminded of Monsieur Cousteau. The thought of him happily filming his underwater friends--Ariel, Sebastian, Flounder, Triton--made reminded me to focus on the joy I do find in my line of work. Surely it wasn't always always smooth sailing for Captain Jacques and he rode the waves just like I have to with my busy job. If I keep at it, maybe my crabby mood will turn to a delicious lobster.
