I refuse to work someplace with a strict dress code. That's one of the reasons I work in tech, dammit.
So very much this.
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I very rarely deal with anyone from "the outside" other than tenants and they are mostly students and probably don't care what I'm wearing.
But, once fall/winter hits, I'll dress more professionally.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I feel like the knee-length bermuda shorts with a nice shirt and nice shoes (NOT a tshirt and flip flops) should be acceptable.
One of my co-workers is wearing this very outfit today. Black linen shorts, top with wide black and white stripes that are wiggly in a vaguely zebra-ish way, black stiletto pumps.
I think the stilettos are overkill would go with a lower heel and/or flats, but the outfit still works, IMO.

Yeah, see, I think I just like the bermuda shorts because they look OK on me if they are knee/just above knee, but the capris that hit a few inches longer at the widest part of the calf are SO unflattering on me...:)
But I wouldn't wear them to a site--then I wear "business causal" that's less casual...a dress and heels, or pants and a button down or skirt and cute jacket...

Last week, I wore an outfit that involved a high-collared black Victorian-esque blouse, a pink & black striped full skirt (with petticoats), and a matching pink & black striped waist cincher. I got tons of compliments, and it felt completely work-appropriate to me. But I wouldn't wear a waist cincher to work with a blouse that wasn't high-collared. To me, that crosses my boundaries of work-appropriate.

Due to enhancement of boobies by the cincher?

Eeeee! Bat with binky! Aaawwww! Man, I bet Pete would kill me if I wanted to become a foster parent to wee bats.

Now, I wear flip flops around the house. The problem with people wearing them at work? SHMECK SHMECK SHMECK SHMECK
I really do not care to be audibly apprised of your sweaty feet.
I need to stop tinkering.

Yep. And I wouldn't wear a PVC cincher to work because of the more obvious fetish-y connotations of that fabric.
