We are in the middle of a heat wave - 5 days in the 90s, with a heat index over 110 degrees on most days. AND it doesn't look like it's going to end in the foreseeable future. SO - what is a Realtor to do?
You may wonder, why would I, as a Realtor, be all that concerned? It's not like I'm standing on black-top or cooking in a commercial kitchen or anything...RIGHT? Well, yes, you're right - it could be worse. But, you have to remember, I walk in and out of homes - and a good portion of them don't have A/C, due to foreclosure, etc. At the same time, I have to look like a professional. Again, so what is a Realtor to do?
So, in my free time, like I have any, I decided to do a little shopping to see if there would be anything that would work. Let's just say, I understand that I'm not 18 anymore, nor do I want to be. But, I'm not 81, either! And, yes, I'm not the size of an 18 year old, but that doesn't mean that I want to wear large print mu mu's!!!! I was amazed at the choices of clothing that I ran into! Choices meaning, not so much - unless I would like to wear 500 different styles of TANK TOPS!? Now, that's not all that professional, is it? The lady working at the store mentioned that I could wear a shrug or top over it. I guess she's right, but then I am back where I started with the heat and layering clothing, aren't I? I'm sure that some women can pull off the sleeveless blouses, dresses, etc. Michelle Obama does it nicely - but, have you seen the guns on that woman? Yeah, mine aren't that impressive. Needless to say, I'm a little self conscious about my arms. But, why is it that I really don't have much of a choice in fashion today? I need to be presentable and have the ability to stay 'current' without looking like a fool trying to be younger than I am OR much older.
What's a Realtor to do?
Well, this was a little off topic - but, until next time, In This Market....
