I tried to take a slightly more humorous take on the typical "Dress for the Office" type post that frequently appears in the blogosphere. My office related posts are not focused on any one individual (or individuals) and are normally a composite of a mindset, not a person. I know sometimes the translation from spoken to written humor is difficult or impossible. Was there a way I could have phrased this that would have made that more apparent? @Emily – I really wasn’t trying to share this in a hurtful way.

Maybe some of your co-workers are not as lucky as you and cannot afford to buy new clothes. And if you see someone at work doing that, do you let them know? Maybe instead of writing about it you should do something about it. Try pulling the person aside to let me know that their clothes are not appropriate, sometimes people do not realize what they truelly look like. Tip to Dorie Morgan's Rising Up...try being nicer to people. From my point of view, you seem like an entirely self center individual.

It is so unprofessional when people come to the office dressed like they are cheap, unaware of themselves and the impressions they make, or so poor they haven't been able to buy a pair of pants that fit. People don't consider the messages they send through their clothing choice. I mean seriously, will "I'm a cheap, skanky hoe" get you a promotion? Maybe, but you are setting the women's movement back. Like you said, wear those clothes to a club, not the office. I like the way you assessed this situation.

It's my first day at my new job today and I thought for a week what I should wear (since it's casual-ish start-up environment). I ended up with a cute black/gray turtleneck, vest, gray scarf, black jeans, shiny gray/black heels. No indecency in sight (I hope!) :) Haha, this is funny and timely.

Just like real life. Actually, on slow work days or even on great ones, getting a glimpse down an attractive woman co-worker’s shirt just makes the day better. Just like real life.
