Dress Code Question
Orientation was mind boggling. In one part of my 750 page (exaggerating) handbook, it says "business attire expected, and a jacket expected in court." Another part of the handbook says: Women: Tailored suits, dresses, or skirts or slacks with jacket and appropriate blouse or sweater are allowed...Jackets may be removed while in your working office but must be worn at all other times." WTF does this mean??

It means - let's not Legal Ladies store. We can bring Maryam in for her fasion contats and knowledge. We'd have different cuts for different body types, and teach our sales people to evaluate body types and guide people to the right styles. And Mingus could be our mascot. And Sethonious could be our corporate chef. And Prof CivPro could be our honorary grandfather.
Crap. Totally mistyped the first sentence. It should say:
"It means - let's open our Legal Ladies store."
I like any title with "chief" Count me in!
But we all know this will fail because women don't really work in professions that require suits... I mean c'mon a short skirt, cleavage, and a winning smile is all you need to land a bread winner to take care of you. He needs the suit, not the poor defenseless wittwe wimen.
Does sarcasm and baby talk work on the internet?
This is very funny because last night I watched the episode of South Park where they send the boys to shop class and the girls to home ec. The girls practice saying things like "I need a new wardrobe" and "Jenna's husband bought her a new car for her birthday" and "I think a trip to Hawaii would really fire up our sex life."
It's all about leaving a jacket on your chair. If you wear a collared shirt around the office, no problems.
But, at least they didn't tell you that "in this industry, it is considered more professional for a woman to wear a suit with a skirt, not pants." Or to mention that wearing make up is part of business formal attire. Or to have mirrored panels on the elevators so the dirty old men can easily check out the young ladies from all angles. I think in the legal field, they only *think* these things, and don't say them out loud like in finance...
Heh! Thanks for the tips Q.
