We honestly hate work clothes - shirts with buttons and pants. We hate how they make us feel (frumpy and boyish), we hate how we look in them (surprisingly short and rather rotund), and we hate how they feel (bare legs 4eva). We understand we have said this all before, but the clothing gods have just given us the big FUCK YOU because we just, just found out that our work dress code is shifting to slightly more professional.
Now, lest we forget, part of the reason we work where we do is because of the "no dress code" dress code that the entire company - from bottom to top - embraces. They even make a big to-do out of it during your new-hire orientation, complete with not-amusing clip art. We are currently feeling dressed nicely in gold ballet flats, a khaki green (vs. khaki tan) pseudo-cargo skirt that is a bit short with frayed edges, a white shirt with a green squirrel screenprint and a white tank top underneath for modesty. And a turquoise wool sweater because we're cold. And 3" silver hoop earrings. But when our boss came in - she who wears running pants and cat sweatshirts to meetings with VIP - in a suit jacket (we think it's older than we are, but that's ok), we knew something was up. And she told us. And, the best part. It's just our department. So everyone else? Carry on in your flip flops. I will be wearing heels (I like heels, though).
These gray pants from Urban might not be too horrid.
Lux Skinny Menswear Pants, $58
This Diane Von Furstenberg dress is kind of awesome, too. And definitely long enough so we KNOW it is a dress and we will not feel the need to run out and buy pants.
DVF Bilboa Wool dress, $365
Because our office will always be cold, and our turquoise sweater will need to go to sweater heaven.
C&C California Cashmere Kimono Cardigan, $249
For once, we are not stoked about having to go shopping when we go to lunch.
