Good Topic.
Well, I dress professionally when I have an interview. I think it's a little different for me since I try to keep upscale retail jobs. I want my own Fashion Consulting/Personal Shopping business so I learn a lot working in department stores.
In my job now I have noticed that they like you to have your own flair as long as it's not too much. I mean no, backless shirts, tube tops (without a shrug), and supermini skirts. Other than that it's all good.
I once went to work in a 70's print wrap dress, knee high boots, and afro and the General Manager told me I looked cute. *lol*
Now if you want to be a lawyer, government official, CEO, or something huge like that, then yes, you are going to have to be very 'professional.'
Lovely: What about business casual? Some nice slacks and a blouse would look ok.
