 Posted: 06/26/03 - 16:53 Post subject: wimmins & summer dressing
For the love of god, ladies:
If you're going to wear sandals, shave your toes if necessary.
Do not think you are fooling anyone by only painting your big toe. If it's not black from running, you look like a fool.
If you're going to paint your toes, do it more than once a month. Don't wait for it to all peel off before you paint them again.
If the shirt or skirt is too short to cover fat rolls, DO NOT WEAR IT.
A black bra under a white shirt is never sexy, but always trashy.
The sound of flip flops in the office is distracting and unprofessional. Especially if your feet are sweaty.
Remember that they now make tanktops with built-in shelf bras, so you don't have to let it all hang loose anymore. Especially if you're a DD.
There is a difference between capris and floods. About three inches or so. Don't think people don't see the difference, because they do.
Belly shirts are not acceptable corporate office attire, even if the office is casual.
If you're going to go sleeveless, make sure you use an invisible deodorant. No need to see balls of the white stuff in your pits when you stretch during meetings.
-----------------------------------
Just a few things I've noticed. Is this just my office?

No, our office is very professional but there are SEVERAL floors in our building of skanky legal clerks, etc... 
I'd like to revise the above rule. "Remember that even though they now make tanktops with built in shelf bras, you never should let it all hang loose, ESPECIALLY if you're a DD. These shirts are not for you if you are bigger than a C. I'm sorry."

My worst...
PLease DO NOT wear short shorts if you do not have the body for them. Very few people do. Most are either under the age of 23, genetically blessed, or work very hard at it. If you don't fit this description, wear longer shorts, a nice skirt, or capris.

Wow... I never thought there were so many rules. Seems like wimmins can wear anything and make it look like fashion (at least to us guys)

I guess guys have it made since the most you can probably get away with at a casual office is polo shirt, khakis and dock siders.
Now when you are out on your own time a lot of those same rules apply. Especially short running shorts when you do not have the body for them. That can be a scary sight.

i might add:
wearing tight white jeans belongs to the size 2s of the world. do not stuff your size anythingbiggerthanthat into tight white pants and not expect to look like a billboard with legs. white makes ones arse look larger.
again - lose, lose, lose the POOH tshirts if you are over 12.... BLEEPIN' LOSE THEM.
wearing a tube top from the 70s??? look down, if you see a roll of fat, you goofed.

Working at a college I see many of these behaviours. The one that gets to me the most is young wimmins who don't have the stomach for it, yet insist on wearing the belly shirts. I just can't imagine why they want to show off their pooch to the world (and I'm not talking small, natural cute pooch; I'm talking needs to run, diet and do some situps pooch).

I see this on h.s. and college age girls also. Fairly disgusting in my book. If you got a gut, cover it.

 RR, you're killin' me this morning!!! oh my...
I also have to agree 100% with Kristin's...I believe there are about 40 people WORLDWIDE who can wear shorts with an inseam shorter than 3" and they are all under the age of 20. Even Daisy Duke herself can't wear them anymore. Bottomline, just because 5-7-9 or Wet Seal sells it doesn't mean we all should wear it...
 I really am a sorority girl at heart, aren't I?

I don't get that either. Maybe it's just pickiness, but I always thought you really needed a super flat stomach to pull that off. No pudge at all.
(This is why tie-dye and Birkenstocks are so much easier...)

Si, senorita. The only person I've seen recently over the age of 25 who can pull that off is Pebbles.
