DEVELOPER LOOKS PROFESSIONAL DESPITE MUDDY CONSTRUCTION SITES

What Jill wears to work varies depending upon her activities for the day, but she always makes an effort to look put together. “You want to look professional for meetings, however, you don’t want to look too dressed up to be on a construction site,” she said. “If I know I am going to be outside, I usually wear jeans and a blazer.”

Because Jill usually drives to work sites, her car has become her second home. And, eating or drinking while traveling always seems to be a recipe for disaster.

“Normally, I take off my blazer when I get into the car, to make sure it doesn’t get wrinkled or spilled on,” she said. “But, with my Nordstrom Smartcare blazer I don’t bother. Once, I spilled a Coke on it and was able to wipe it right off with a napkin. It never looked like anything happened to it.”

“The biggest benefit to the spill-proof clothes is you can just keep going – it wipes off so you don’t look like a slob,” Jill said. “You don’t have to make excuses about your appearance.
