It all seems so unnecessary. I didn't mind wearing skirts and heels when I was a receptionist. However, my last three jobs haven't had any face-to-face customer contact. Nobody ever sees me so I don't have to be the face of the organization. On this job my office is so grubby that I'm worried about ruining any nice clothes I wear in there.
Why can't I have the same dress code that my high-school aged daughter has? It's simple -- no profanity on the t-shirts and no skirts shorter than fingertip length. I know I'd work harder if I wasn't constantly adjusting my tights.

Amen! But I actually like dressing up. My complaint was more about not having new clothes. Though dressing these past couple of weeks has been a major drag. I never wear hose cause I always wear pants. I HATE HATE HATE doing my hair. It takes about 15-20 minutes. HATE IT!!!!
I like dressing up if I am going to a party or something, but not if I have work to do. I like to be very comfortable with nothing binding me or restricting my movement. Besides, I don't know why my bosses care what I wear when I sit in a dingy corner all day.
My husband has been doing consulting from home. I wondered if on a phone or conference call whether the other parties could tell the difference if he was wearing a bathrobe vs. a collared shirt and dress pants. It would be an interesting experiment.
