I work in a retail environment—no uniform, and I can dress casually. Many of our customers stop in at their lunch breaks, after work, etc., so I “see” how professionals dress. And of course there is ALWAYS the images we see on TV.
When did grown women STOPPED wearing both panty and and sleeves? Even in “business” casual (men wearing golf type shirts) some of the women oddly dress for their positions and age.
Sleeves. Pantyhose (or just wear slacks). Shift dresses, 3 in heels, and 40something arms/legs exposed are not professional looking at all.
Boy do I sound cranky....must be warm. Better crank up the AC...
And while I’m at it....”stay off my lawn!”
Pantyhose!!!!!!!!!! My cohorts stopped wearing pantyhose!!!!!!!
Yikes!!!
Someone in our offices is often complaining about the temp. Sleeveless in October at times.
There are very few people who look good sleeveless.
“Better crank up the AC”
Is it turn up or turn down the AC to make it cooler.
Crank up would seem to be warmer to me as up is a higher number?

OMW! I know exactly what you mean. This woman is astounded by the lack of standards that many women have for professional settings.
In the spring, while two of my sisters and I were sight-seeing in Washington, DC, we got to see a horrendous example of this. As we were seated on a bench waiting for a Metro train, 4 people walked over and stood in front of us. We had a fair amount of time to observe their attire and their demeanor and to hear their conversation, whether we wanted to or not.
It became apparent through their conversation that the two women had been assigned to or had taken on the task of showing the two men the ropes at work. The females seemed to be in their early 30s while the men seemed to be slightly younger.
The men were impeccably dressed in suits and ties. The one woman looked like she was getting ready to wash her car while the other had a bizarre get-up that consisted of a wrinkled blazer with a low cut tank top, capri pants, and 4-inch high heels with no stockings.
These 4 were employed by the FBI.
