A New Job, A New Dress
Julia Mooney is a 34-year-old art teacher. She had just started a new job at the William Allen Middle School in Moorestown, New Jersey. Her outfit had been chosen carefully for her first day. But she could never have known that the pebble-gray Jazmenia dress, indeed herself, would create such a stir.
Starting a new job is always exciting and nerve-wracking, but she felt so much more this time. The more she thought about how they would scrutinize her, the more she felt on edge.
