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.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.

Meet your new favorite simple summer dress

Summer. It's coming soon with it's sunshine, high temperatures, picnics, festival, barbecues, pool parties and so many more events that require being outside in the heat. If you're shopping in any stores right now, you might have noticed that all the so called sun dresses are made of itchy, plastic-y, hot material. They look summery, but they'll bake you. Worry not, I've found a cotton summer dress that can get you through the whole summer for less than $20. Add a cropped cardigan or short-sleeve blazer for the office. Don some walking sandals, a fun sunhat and cute sunglasses for a day the fair. Dress it up with high heels, jewelry and a cute wrap for evenings. The possibilities are endless. It's even cute when you layer two different colors. The fit is beautiful. Compose of 95% cotton and 5% spandex, it fits close to the body through the top and flares gently, which means it works even if it doesn't line up perfectly with you waistline. This dress is
