and you are exactly the type of person I would never work for, one that judged my work ability by the way I looked.

I have blue hair, 3/4 inch holes in my ears, ratty jeans and always t-shirts.

the jeans I am wearing right now cost me $115, my t-shirt was $45, the plugs for my ears were $80, my hair i did myself, my shoes cost $145

what makes me different in my work ability because I chose to spend my money on clothes that fit MY style, instead of a button down and slacks?

clothes are a reflection of a person, i will agree with that...most of my clothes are fun, outgoing and spark conversation...but i guess button down long sleeve dress shirts that all look the same and are BORING are what makes a person a better worker, huh?
