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.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

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.

A search page (like a domain placeholder) is there for my officemate and me.

My department is mostly jeans and khakis (only the older ladies wear dress pants on a regular basis). The rare occasions when we have an outside vendor and/or potential client come in to check out the operation, I might wear dress pants instead.
Oh, and for some great musicals in Chicago news, according to the Chicago Tribune, Wicked is staying at the Oriental Theatre for months, if not years, instead of the original 7-week engagement. When the touring company leaves, the set is remaining behind and a Chicago-based company will stay. "'Wicked' will remain open in the Loop as long as there is business to support it."
Never before in contemporary Chicago has a touring cast been replaced after a period of a few weeks by a whole new slate of local performers, who then get open-ended Broadway-rank contracts without having to leave the Loop or their homes. And if "Wicked" can last two years, it will set modern Chicago-theater history.
