Dresscode for twentysomething women!

Being a future teacher, one of my other professors told me some really good tips on how to dress that I have never forgotten.

* Skirt length no shorter than the knee, or right above it.
* Necline no lower than your collar bone.
* Try to steer clear of the juniors section. You don't want to show up one day wearing the same thing as one of your students.
* Minimal make-up. It's not cute when you and your student show up wearing the same bright pink glittery eye shadow.
* ALWAYS wear hoes, even with pants. (I wore dress socks.)

P.S. I LOVE Kohls' apt. 9 collection! I always fine the nicest clothes!

Apparently one of my coworkers also missed the memo that you can't wear anything except nude colored underwear under white pants. Little blue flowers, how adorable.

This seems very conservative -- there are very few necklines that aren't lower than your collar bone. What's left, turtlenecks? LOL. And no open toed shoes, ever?! Yikes.

IF YOU cannot dress as a Professional in your profession then why be there?

Dress like a hooker then peole will treat you like a hooker!

If you do not have legs, feet, bust, toes, or waist, then maybe New Fashions are not for you?

Big Boobs, cool show them off and see where people think your brains are!

Dress in your style that fits best for you! It isnt TV!

This has always worked very well for me!

Many offices nowadays and/or certain industries are more casual Tom. I work in the entertainment industry and never ever ever have I had to own a suit, etc for work. Jeans are the norm, even for interviews. My male coworkers regularly wear t shirts, surf shorts and flip flops. Its the culture in this industry.

This thread has been an attack thread for pages now ... some of you ladies can be super harsh

AYE! We're here to give friendly beneficial pointers, not insult each other.



In other news:

- Some science teacher at my secondary school wore striped undies with light colored pants. A very outspoken girl pointed it out. The teacher was embarrassed- and another girl said "don't worry, we're among women here". It was an all-girl school. I was not in that class, btw, but the rumor quickly went around.

- The worst part about those shoes would be the color. Does not help that the other colors available are also fluorescent hues that should have stayed back in the 80s. I hate lime green so much- and another co-worker was dissing it today as well.

Actually, I just buy a lot of crew neck t-shirts and shells. I think the main reason she said that is because I work with high schoolers and young boys tend to, how do I put this delicately, try to look at your boobs. Sorry, couldn't put it delicately. I do wear collar shirts and leave the top button open, but I make sure that I do the bend forward test when I wear them. No open-toed shoes is probably because we have to respect the school dress code. If the girls can't wear sandals or flip flops, we can't either. I don't have many pair of dress shoes that ARE open-toe so it works out for me.

I used to work the professional offices for a theme park. The folks in the park couldn't wear open toed shoes and had restrictions regrading the number of rings and earrings you could wear, facial hair for men, etc. The people in the offices had to abide by the same rules-- no open toed shoes for the ladies, either.

You have to be talking about Disney - I haven't been to another theme park that actually cares what their employees look like (which can be quite scary!) LOL

DA - I KNOW what you mean about seeing the thong up and out of the jeans. I cannot STAND seeing my girls in the chapter when they bend over & all you see is crack & floss. We have a 3-B rule for formal meetings (ie, pinwear meetings) which is no Bellies, Butts, or Boobs -- we used to pass a jar around to put 25c in if your attire was deemed unacceptable. Now we just don't let you in the meeting & you have to pay the fine for missing it

I am fine with the ultra low rise jeans if you have that kind of body & know how to not bend over & show your butt to all the world. Its just not attractive when you see girls that are not fat by any means, but far too big to wear those jeans - you know, the ones that swear they are a size 4 or 6 when its more like 10 or 12.

It has gotten so bad with some things that when the chapter buys shirts for certain events (like recruitment), we cut the tags out before giving the girls their shirts. So if you ordered a small, and we know you are a medium or even large, you just get the shirt size that we give you with the tags cut out (we cut all the tags out - even on the smalls for the itty-bitty girls). Its a pain to keep them separate, but nothing is worse than a girl who needs a medium trying to squeeze her boobs or belly roll into a small while wearing a shirt around campus with our name on it!

I'd also like to add that with the low rise jeans they DO make low rise bikinis and thongs. So no one has any excuse for underwear hanging out.

Anyone else finding themselves wearing more and more skirts these days? When I was in my early 20's I wore jeans to hang out in, now days I am just as likely to want to hang out in an ankle length skirt.
