Is this an example of "oozing into the cracks of every market they serve?"

(link...)

P.S. Whatever happened to hot pants and halter tops? Would they be appropriate for the workplace? What about culottes?

I've noticed a lot of the female tv reporters wearing the walking short suits. Its kind of hard to take them seriously when they are dressed in an outfit that looks like what a toddler wears to Sunday School.

My first corporate job was with AT&T in Atlanta in the 70's. (Old, I know) Men wore white shirts and black ties...period. Women wore dresses, heels, makeup..period.

I learned early on that it was a loser organization when hard working and creative men and women were chastized for violating the dress code, while slackers got away with being slackers. It never fails to amuse me that someone is always trying to be the fashion police...self appointed in most cases.

My rule for work is that appropriate dress simply means not being a distraction to the venue, while serving your purpose.

I have found there to be many people that just don't understand what that means.

Agreed, but I've found many who also create unnecessary rules to take the place of judgement.

But I could go along with a rule that said "No Oozing" with regard to a dress code.
