When I was younger (and still a graduate student), I realized that I had many very pretty dresses that I never had occasion to wear. I decided I didn't need an occasion! One day I wore a sleeveless floor-length ballgown (with the elusive POCKETS!!!) to class and then to work. When I got work, I was informed that our 19" rack had arrived 2 weeks early, and I as the lowly student was to assemble it ASAP.

Also, The Shop that always had someone in there was locked, so I had no tools available to borrow. Never fear, I'm an engineer! I was traveling light, but I still had my Leatherman Micra in my pocket (a bare minimum). I sat on the dusty hallway floor in my ballgown, assembled that rack with my Micra, and hauled it into the adjacent data center by myself.
Ever since, I've put a little more thought into what I wear to work. In my defense, that rack did arrive 2 weeks early!
@nethope When I worked for a clothing design company, I got into so many fights about pockets. I wanted them but the traditionalists, including my boss, didn't.
@dmoonfire You were so right to fight for pockets!!!
I no longer buy clothes without pockets near my hips. Just NO.
@dmoonfire REAL clothing has pockets!
