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.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Due to enhancement of boobies by the cincher?

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.

But, once fall/winter hits, I'll dress more professionally.
Ah, fall, when one can stop dressing for survival and start dressing for pleasure.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I hate wearing a bra and don't on the weekends, but I would not feel comfortable going braless at work. Nips are NOT work appropriate, IMO.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Nips are NOT work appropriate, IMO.
Unless you are in the adult entertainment industry.

The status is NOT quo.
Schools are funny, in terms of dress code. I typically wear "business casual" outfits, though I can get away with more than most offices. OTOH, I *never* but *never* wear anything too short, too tight, or too revealing. Capris with sandals and a nice top, yes. Cleavage? No.
