My Boss Greets Me "Whoa!!!"

I feel unfortunate for not being able to shop Versace's collection for H&M. I even went to Riyadh last November but it was too early. No single item from the collaboration for men ever got displayed on the shelves in one of H&M branches that has menswear in Dammam. Grrrr!

Last Wednesday, I thought of channeling one of the looks in Versace + H&M Fall/Winter collection by wearing this bold beautiful floral printed long-sleeve shirt to work which I bought many years ago at Landmark in Makati, Philippines. I havent worn this for such a long time as I am quite anxious of what people at work would react when they see me. As far as I've noticed, I haven't seen anyone in the kingdom wearing floral printed shirts.

I was one hour late that day. I woke up so late. I was walking stealthy to my desk hoping my boss wouldn't catch me when I realized that he was standing near at it which was already late for me to turn back and hide. I greeted him but got surprised with his reaction as he said whoa! as soon as he saw me with his eyes startled as if they've seen boobs. I would love to think that his reaction wasn't implying anything bad. 

Some of my colleagues poked the fun at me. They said it looked like a table cloth and that maybe I'm lost and supposed to sing somewhere. None of those made me feel bad that day. I always feel good about what I wear. I know we cannot please everybody so I always give myself a positive thought.
