Back in 1989-91, I worked in a public library that had a dress code for female employees of either pants or a skirt, but if you wore a skirt, you had to wear nylons. My supervisor once came up to me and asked if I was wearing my nylons, and I had to pull them away from my skin to show her that they were nude-colored nylons, and that my legs don't tan that dark. She did bust me on the day that I was wearing white socks and gym shoes over the nylons, but when I showed her the blisters I had from my new pair of dress shoes I had worn to my full-time job earlier that day, she let me off the hook.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Tonight is the grudge match. I've decided my minion is just contrary -- she's trying to figure out if there's a way for Marcel to win while Ilan loses. She's on Team Marcel!!!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Pretty much besuited if I have a client meeting or going to court, which is why I'm wearing suits all this week. We also have a floor where you have to be in business formal, but few people really respect that.

Tonight's the All Star episode! Season 1 v. Season 2. I wonder if Harold will be wearing his pencil. I hope so.
I could never go back to a dress code environment. I've been spoiled by life in the No Dress Code Zone. Jeans, flip flops and snarky tees! What's not to love?

Would any of you NOT work at a place because it had a dress code?
It would depend upon how strict the dress code was, and if I was being paid commensurately. I mean, assuming they're not asking me to wear a burqa.

I often wear a suit for meetings or events, but it averages out to like once a week, which I can totally deal with.

Of course! It's his lucky pencil.
How can Marcel defeat Ilan? They're in the same season!

The dress code here is business casual. Most days the men wear shirts and ties or polo shirts and slacks. Occasionally if there's a big meeting they men will wear jackets. Sleeveless tops on women where the whole shoulder is covered seems to be okay without something over it, but I wouldn't feel comfortable wearing that.
Women can wear denim skirts on Fridays, no one can wear jeans. That is not the policy for the entire organization, but our Department Head feels denim is too casual looking and so no denim on Fridays, although other departments (which are not in this building) are allowed.
Currently I'm wearing a crochet sweater with a cami underneath, brown slacks, and wedge sandals.
We also have comapny polo shirts we can wear any day. Hose are not required at all.
