Susan Boyle Didn’t Look The Part. Do You?

A Lesson In Human Nature

I love the Susan Boyle story.

A frumpy looking middle aged woman steps nervously on the stage for her Britain’s Got Talent audition and Simon the judge asks her a question.

Her awkward answer draws snickers from the audience while she appears to be totally out of her element. 

At this point, you can believe that Simon already has his finger on the X button and the boo birds are getting ready to chirp.

It’s safe to say that many people watching live were embarrassed for her.

I remember this issue coming

I remember this issue coming up in 'Optometric Management' a while back. It is difficult to define what is good dress because the standard of attire is widely varied in our country alone.

A nice pair of boots and a bolo tie might be appropriate in some rural areas. The most important part is to decide what is professional and stick to that. If there is doubt about what is too casual I think it is better to overdress than under dress.
