I wear jeans (or cargo pants) every day. I try to wear casual but not sloppy tops--usually this means a long-sleeved T and a cardigan, and in the summer a camp shirt. I have recently become enamored of button down oxfords in funky/retro colors.
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I would love to wear cargos, jeans, and khakis to work. Alas, I am in a "professional dress" environment. Mostly suits (when I have some that fit) or dressier than business casual.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've never worn a suit to work. Well, not a suit I owned, anyway. Hope to never need to, because that would be pricey.

I have come to love Chadwicks for inexpensive staple clothing, plus you can ususally mix and match tops and bottoms from them. I just got some tops from them for $7-10 which are all work wearable under cardigans or suit jackets.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I almost always wear a skirt (sans tights if it's warm enough), but a lot of women exclusively wear chinos and don't get talked to. The high-level peeps are always dressier, but they meet with clients, so it's expected.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
dressier than business casual.
This describes my office. The "lowest" I can go is wear some dress pants and a knit top (but that's mostly for Fridays). I usually end up wearing either dress pants/skirt with a blouse and dress jacket.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Huh. Did nytimes.com get hacked?

NYTimes? I was just there, and saw nothing odd. Why?

I wish.
Well, I have done ten years of "work clothes". It's just, I'm realizing that I've been unhappy about it for all that time, and I've never gotten used to or comfortable with it. So I'm thinking I need to take charge of changing the things that bug me.
