When Romer was in charge of LAUSD he tried to encourage all female teachers to wear hose, even with pants and all men to wear ties.
Dude. Whatever... not gonna happen.
I get wigged out that people wear flip flops to teach in. Too casual.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I wouldn't work anywhere that required hose in Texas in the summer. That's abuse. Also anywhere where big boobs/little boobs change the dress code. I will not wear a mumu or look sloppy or have a uniboob for any job. Plus, it points to other issues I probably won't like. Right now I work with almost all women and both of my immediate bosses are women. We probably dress nicer in this office than in most, but for the most part it's "don't look like you're going clubbing or slounging around the house in your jammies and we're cool."

is flinging a human 100 ft with a trebuchet an obviously bad idea?
It's not the thing you fling; it's the fling itself.

Weatherbug just alerted me that tomorrow we're under a wind advisory all day.
Damn it! So much for wearing a skirt tomorrow.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Tonight's the All Star episode! Season 1 v. Season 2. I wonder if Harold will be wearing his pencil. I hope so.
YAY.

That's what's behind my dislike of a skirt requirement.

I'm not sure I could do a company that required skirt and hose. If they allowed pants, maybe. But I have a feeling if they were really super strict about their dress code, I might not wanna work there for other reasons too.
A burqa for work would be great, just throw it on every day and no one knows or cares what you're wearing underneath! As long as I could wear jeans everywhere else...
(My current office is business casual, but we definitely have people who are more casual adn people who are more business. We're not supposed to wear jeans on Fridays, but people do)
I am supposed to dress up more when I'm at a client site (even if they're in scrubs), but usually that just means not the more schlubby "I need to do laundry" outfits that I only occasionally wear to work. I am wearing a dress today, and heels...but could use hose or tights, it's FREEEEZING!

And -- this has nothing to do with dress codes -- I'm really really wanting to know how ita's doctor appointment went.

I'd be reluctant to work at a job where I had to wear a tie every day. Fortunately, that's not required in most law offices in SF (at least for staff).

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
No dress code in my world although I do wish the women who insist on strappy tanks and low rise jeans would at least wear a size that fits (instead of 2 sizes too small). For previews I tend to stick to slacks in case I need to climb a ladder before the house opens.
I guess I am required to wear a hardhat on occasion.
