T-shirt and jeans here (most days anyhow). Two blocks from the west coast, here
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. (Douglas Adams)
You kids have it so easy. Twenty years ago, there was great debate, in the backwaters of FL, if wimmen planners could even wear pantsuits (as opposed to skirt suits) to public hearings. The verdict was: NO. The exception was a stylish dress with a jacket. And hose, always. It was like working for PanAm in the sixties. And pumps. No toes.T-shirt and jeans here (most days anyhow).

I actually don't mind the slacks and shirt and tie combo. Though, wearing tshirts and jeans to work would reduce the number of clothes someone has to own.T-shirt and jeans here (most days anyhow). Two blocks from the west coast, here
Reading what some of you are wearing to work, I feel positively overdressed today.
"Where free unions and collective bargaining are forbidden, freedom is lost." - 1980 Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan
I enjoy my tie and slacks. Overdress for success. That and I seem to always find myself going to meetings that I am not qualified to be at... so overdressing helps downplay the age thing...
A common mistake people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams
No jeans allowed at work unless site visits or casual Friday.
I caved and left the sneakers at home. But I did wear casual Merrells. Take that! *shakes fist at Da Man*
Today, I decided to wear black cordoroy slacks instead of regular black slacks...a slightly more casual take on my black slacks with red top planner woman wear.

I'm a department head, so dress pants, shirt and tie everyday except Friday. For casual Friday, I just lose the tie. On meeting nights I wear a suit and tie.

Same here, well except for no tie. Fridays we can pay $2 to wear jeans which is then donated to a local non-profit.
I hadn't thought of "Welcome Back, Kotter" in decades... let alone Horshack! You young'uns really missed out.
Now you're really dating yourself, ZG.
Do women still wear pantyhose?? Or slips? I am out of touch with today's fashion trends... thankfully, I don't need to dress up very often.
Tom's what? The only Tom's I can think of is toothpaste.even my old firm had a dress code... jeans were ok.. i wear tom's to work
I wear jeans and a collared shirt just about every day. Of course, I spend more than half my work day in dirt and mud.
Sounds like my wardrobe since I became a dept head in August as well (except that I'll wear a golf shirt and jeans on Fridays). Rarely wore ties at the old job.
"Growth is inevitable and desirable, but destruction of community character is not. The question is not whether your part of the world is going to change. The question is how." -- Edward T. McMahon, The Conservation Fund
No, now most women wear spanx-type garments under their clothes instead of slips and tights instead of pantyhose. I still find an occasion or two to wear hose instead of tights...but I prefer tights if I can get away with it. I'm really into textured tights right now, especially with my boots!

I can understand this ^^ if one's style is similar to this:

Mine is more like this:
http://www.simplicity.com/p-5820-mis...e-dresses.aspx
Restrictive foundation garments worn only when attired in a Civil War ballgown. Tights: one (solid black, purchased to wear on NYEve several years back). My hem lengths tend to be below-the-knee, worn with trouser socks or knee-highs.
A skirt pretty well requires similarly-shaped small clothes underneath, otherwise everything clings and rides up. I have a selection of half-slips in varying lengths and fullnesses (made the longer ones).
I put on a blue shirt, beige slacks, matching tie, and brown shoes for today. Gotta look like a planner when you're at the planning counter
I guess one should take advantage of every networking opportunity.

What else would you wear with your huaraches?

Hipster? Really? They look like my grandpa's bedroom slippers (back in the '70s).Umm... these Very hipster type shoes
But what do I know about fashion?
Edit: I do like these. Does that mean my black-and-white checked jacket from the 1980s (which my husband has urged me to discard) is back in style?

Why don't you knock it off with them negative waves?
Why don't you dig how beautiful it is out here?
Why don't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change?

Are you sure you're not hurt ?
No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

My wife has two pairs of Tom's and loves them. I don't like them on guys though--just look silly. I prefer to rock my old school Converse.
"Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."
- Herman Göring at the Nuremburg trials (thoughts on democracy)
I'm overdressed too... Blue suit, pinstripe shirt, Pangborn Tie. Maybe Detroit is just more fashionable the the rest of the country?
