A page's uniform consists of:
- A white Oxford-pressed shirt
- A red and blue stripped tie
- A navy blue blazer
- Dark grey dress pants or a knee-length skirt
- Solid black dress shoes
I finally purchased all of the components of the uniform (except for the tie provided by the Office of the Clerk). It was very difficult finding a navy blue blazer this time of year. After rummaging through dozens of uniform and department stores, I finally found a perfect one at J.C. Penneys. The shirt and dress pants were readily available at a local uniform store.
I have slowly started packing my things into my suitcase. After trying on my uniform, the whole idea seems surreal. It is hard to believe that I will be working in one of the most significant cities in the world at one of the most powerful and influential buildings in the world.
I hope to gain invaluable experience and knowledge that can not be attained through television and books.
