btw: this is how i dress now

I’d love to hear your feedback about a recent article in Marie Claire about women and fashion at Google…

The article: Women at Google

The photos: Fashion for Work at the Google HQ (requires Flash 9 to see photos, even though it doesn’t tell you, it just blanks out.)

What do you make of this?

Some of the photos didn’t go to press, including one that included *gasp* actual Googlers, in a glass conference room and no laptops, with the female “Googler” in that bright yellow jacket/short-short-shorts combo and hooker heels, pressed against the glass. (Nice, right? That’s how I spend all my meetings.)

So – in case you were under the common misconception that we wear jeans and t-shirts around here, guess again! After a while you get used to the $4000 ensembles with F-me pumps and micro-mini lamé dresses. Riding a bike in one of those is a bitch though!

the thing i noticed most about that photo spread was how smart your coworkers seem.

How do you know what you wear to work? When you swipe out, they deneuralize you, right? ;)

My theory is the GooglePlex is the new Area 51. I just wish someone would capture of photo of a Google-branded flying car… I know you must have one hiding around there, somewhere. Hybrids? Bah… that’s so early 2000′s.

You know you really want to dress like that deep down inside…it looks sooo comfy!! I expecially like the super high heels…you know, the ones that make your feel feel all tingely!!

It smacks of those “You’ve come a long way, baby!” ads to me.

And, damn. There’s over $6000 of clothes in the shot of the actual Google management.
