I was gauging how popular Dickies brand pants are. I was under the impression they are great for work and really durable but when I look them up in my size, they seem to be more "style" pants more than work. I don't want to look cool at the mall, I want some material that can take car grime and dirt and wash out and do it again.
Up to now I am also just using old clothes that were nice at one time but got worn out or lightly damaged in some way. I need to revamp what I use in the shop. I'm normally a skirt kind of girl, I wear them 98% of the time. I despise jeans and have worn jeans twice in my whole life. I don't like shorts because I don't like to show too much leg.
I want to take my mechanic antics to another level and look more professional doing it so I was thinking of a uniform type thing but I wanted to see what's popular. I want to be taken serious as a real mechanic.
I actually applied for a job for mechanic at a dealership and pretty much got humored out. At the interview I was dressed in my current office clothes which is a business formal skirt and top set, so I got offered a position at the front desk which I take as a sexist insult.
Next time I'm going to the interview dressed in a shop type uniform because I'm obviously going to have to try harder to prove that I'm down to get dirty and take no prisoners with fixing cars.
