My chapter's only rules were no hose no entrance. Oh, and khakis were semi-frowned upon only because it was too casual...unless the shoes and shirt were dressier.
I wear pantyhose with all of my opened-toed shoes. I suppose it's because of chapter meetings and in the late summer/early fall it was so hot you didn't want to wear closed-toed heels (not to mention my legs are short and look funny in closed toed heels).
Anyway, I think the worst thing I EVER saw was a women who came to apply at the jewelry store was wearing a shorts outfit with pantyhose and TENNIS SHOES. Then to top it off, she had fixed her pantyhose run with PURPLE NAIL POLISH! EW!
What a nightmare!
