ok - listen - First this is a second career for me and- Two, Cosmetolgy was my first for many years.
I am so accustomed to the world of beauty as I know it with glamourous hair and well manicured nails and such and I feel like I am always this plain Jane all the time. I just wanna run out and get a nice french manicure, french pedicure and stick my foot in a sexy shoe, not some danskos -you know? I am sick of this dog gone pulled back look and or ponytail. I just feel so un-sexy all the time and it starting to affect my self esteem. Not that any of that makes you, but it has been a part of me for so looooong. You know how it is when you get done up and you get an instant bit of swagger in your walk. I'm having some trouble adjusting sometimes. I don't feel like this most days at all but when I do - boy do I feel it. When off the clock, I'm too tired to even care about sexy. It's so sad, because all I do is find some more unsexy clothes like sweats when off the clock- so I am constantly in a state of unsexy.
Um, sexy at work is only appropriate if you are a pole dancer. What you are unable to do in your off time with your "sexy" sounds like something unrelated to work. If you are that tired, you might think about changing your shift, getting more sleep, working all your days/nights in a row so you have a larger block of time off, eating healthier, getting more exercise and taking a hour to get your mani/pedi sometime during your time off--even if you are so tired you fall asleep during it.
I dont know about the pole dancing comment. I find that even being sexy at work is a part of who we are and how we are actually defined in the world. We have a significant part of our psychologal make up is amde up of how sexy we feel ourselves to be. Do we need poles in the ER for us to relax and show how sexy we are. I do not think so. But our sexiness or attractiveness defines a significant part of who we are. We all have it, some of us may flaunt it more so than others. But that is ok also.
I got to thinking about the pole dancing comment. Can you not imagine how well that would go over on a male urological post op floor. Just kidding.

I definitely agree with you.We as a women in general (I can only speak for the, women not men) like to feel desirable,sexy and it is a part of our "psyche" and we should never be ashamed of wanting to look good to feel good.
We should never let go of ourselves,pregnancy,busy lifestyle,children to me is an excuse or it is a lack of desire to look attractive.The point is we look good we feel much better about ourselves and about our life and other people notice that and respect us.Some say that sexiness is in our brain,it is true but realistically only to some extent.If you look unkept,no matter what you say and how you say wont make you appear "sexy" unless you work in radio.
one of the reasons i picked nursing as my second career is because we can wear scrubs.
amen! after years of dressing in suits, having to get up extra early to "doll-up", i'm looking forward to ponytails and scrubs! i may just dress them up with some cute socks! lol! :yeah:

There are plenty of other jobs where it pays to be/look sexy at work, as in sexy on your outward appearance. The OP who later clarified, was talking about feeling sexy on the inside. Which maybe "sexy" wasn't the best choice of words, but a lot of us got what she meant. I don't understand why their is such a negative connotation with the word sexy, but it is obvious from a lot of the posts in this thread that their is.

well, tell that to my husband when he sees me in his oversized shirt and nothing else...
oops...and my socks of course.
someday you will understand the difference betw sexy and pretty/beautiful.
sexy IS from within.
it is attitude and yes, confidence...
being comfortable with oneself.
while you can primp yourself to look good, sexiness makes you feel good.
all the makeup and lingerie in the world, cannot replace that inner glow.

confidence is sexy.
