Poll: Dress Code

By -
We've been around the dress code block. becca works from home, and I work in a casual environment that allows me to experiment wildly with clothing. Before this job, I worked in a more professional atmosphere that still gave me wiggle room but required more conservative attire. Even though our work doesn't require much in the clothing department, we both attended schools with hyper-strict dress codes and know the ins and outs of what to cover and what rules to push.



Tell us more about it in the comments.

We have to wear dress pants, but you can wear a really low cute tank top with it and no one will say a thing...

I worked in a fashion showroom for four years, and so the dress was rather high-end with an anything-goes attitude. We all had a chance to show off our own unique styles. Now I work from home and I find that when I go outside it is still important for me to sport an ensemble that reflects my mood for the day. Even if I'm going to Starbucks, I still choose my shorts, sandals and top carefully; not because I'm worried about what the people in Starbucks will think, but because it is FUN and creative, and that level of self-care adds more self-respect and confidence to my day.

I recently worked in a casual environment that I dressed all Bus casual and fun. Now I work in a shop. It's hard to transition to grubby work wear. I do try to wear necklaces and earrings to try to dress things up a little bit. But, I miss my dresses and skirts...

I hate my company's dress code. Anything goes so I see way too much flesh, underwear lines, clothes are in serious need of pressing...and the ever present sound of flap flap flap as flip flops go up and down the hall.

This is the most casual dress environment I have EVER been in and I have worked in warehouses. I come from a more traditional corporate background so needless to say, image-wise, I do not fit in.

Alexis, you're a girl after my own heart.

Anon, we used to have no dress code, but because of people taking advantage, they had to institute obvious things like "You must wear underwear". I'm one of the most dressed up people everyday.

I love vintage shoes, but between the heavy wear and narrow fit, I have to indulge my wants with fabulous reproductions. Mary Janes, t-straps, peep toes, low heels. If it looks like it's from the 20s-50s, I'm there! I like to wear them with Victorian jewelry and funky outfit. How do you wear retro heels?

Metallic Shoes

Over a couple of fabulous martinis, becca and I were discussing how many people comment on our metallic shoes. (She has some gold heeled Frye booties and I have low heeled oxfords.) It's like they've never thought of gold or silver as belonging anywhere but on jewelry or a New Year's Eve dress. Not only do they snazz up an everyday jeans and tunic, but they can be used as party shoes too. (Yes, I would wear my oxfords to a party. I'm funky like that.) As you can see from my laments of craving below, metallics are my perfect shoe color.Top: silver cutout wedge, Jeffrey Campbell at Urban Outfitters $128 (Want!)
disc flat, Enzo Angiolini "Zella" on Endless $88.95
gold pump, Shellys of London at Mod Cloth $94.99
Bottom: pewter unicorn heels, Jeffrey Campbell "Michelle" at Nordstrom $119.95 (Still want!)
silver point toe flat, Cindy Says "Chill" on Endless $124.93 (Want!)
silver twist sandals copied from McQueen, N.Y.L.A. "Stern" on Endles…

Sweet Sleep Bra

By -

I've been waiting Anthropologie's ruffled bra and panty set to go on sale. What it lacks in the sex appeal of Anya's retro ensemble, it makes up for in cute ribbons and ruffles. The set is available in cream and pink, rose and black, or grey and black, but I prefer the dark of the latter to offset the sweetness of the look. The bra was $58, which is silly for a cotton, wireless sleep bra, but the price has dropped to $29.95. That's at least worth thinking about. $30 for panties, however, is still laughable.
