Yesterday, I walked into a large department store in a suit and tie. I went into the men's fragrances department and one of the lady sales-persons began to speak with me. A minute passed before, to my surprise, it occured to me that she thought I worked in the store. She was a little apologetic but I was too curious to be insulted. Instead, I asked her why she thought I worked there. She said I dressed differently than the customers. She left for a moment and while she was gone a new customer asked me to help him with a scent. Also, another woman who worked there but in a different department thought I worked in fragrances too!

My question is whether this is a positive sign or if I am dressing too consciously?
