B,

I always preferred classic and dressy, sometimes frilly and fussy even, to

jeans and sweats. Still do, and refuse to go the route of casual and sloppy.

I'm usually overdressed for any occasion, but I'm old enuf now that I can

claim to be " eccentric " and get away with wearing what I want. I'd still

rather be in a long dress at a wedding or concert, esp when I see some aging

hippie in torn jeans -- and YES, I have seen that at both weddings AND

concerts.

So u go ahead and wear what u like, and don't let the " casual wear

revolution " make u relax your standards.

Regards,

Carol A

Here in California, it seems to be the " thing " for the workplace dress codes

going to more the tie and shirt for men rather than the dockers and polo

shirts... for my workplace (healthcare), I am a manager of a department,

hence I wear the full gammit.... skirt, blouse, dress, pantyhose, although I

do wear an occasional capris with a nice blouse on " Casual " Friday. It's nice

to see more professionally-dressed people in the workplace, although my

employees have a habit of wearing " flipflops " as they say they " never see the

public " ...... hmmmm... we do have a published dress code from HR, so I need

to start enforcing it.

Just my very unscientific opinion, but I think sloppy dress = sloppy thinking

= sloppy job performance. There is something to be said for STANDARDS, and

when you dress the part, you act it too.
