Tomorrow is my primary care annual check up. Today was the day I got everything together that I need; other doctor report, list of questions to discuss, cookies, and, most important of all, what I will wear.
Like attending your husband's office Christmas party, you don't want to overdress. Nothing too long, too short, not low cut, modest but modern, casual but not like you just came from working in the garden. It mustn't be too loose as if you have lost weight recently, not too tight as if you have gained weight, for Heaven's sake.
I suppose some people might say it does not matter what one wears. So after we zipped through the afternoon chores I considered that idea. What I wear day in and day out is not worthy of much forethought. A t-shirt and shorts is the uniform of any day. Fortunately or unfortunately that uniform is pretty standard everywhere, especially beach communities..There are work in the garden shorts, go to the grocery store shorts and go out to dinner shorts. A t-shirt with a collar elevates one's ensemble to dress up status. So, yes, in Florida, shorts can go to the doctor.
Crisp and fresh, coordinated (if you are female-guys can get away with plaids and stripes), a little color, collected...that's what I am going for. The "clean underwear" mantra isn't anough - clean has to extend to the outer layers too. Lightweight is good, remember stepping on that scale! And finally, easy to pull up or pull down or pull off...just in case.
But most important, your clothes must give the impression of good health. That's a little hard to put words to. But we know it when we see it. So does your doctor!
