Okay, who wears sequins to work????

I'm fortunate because in my industry, dressing for success was an 80's thing. I work for one of the big three aerospace firms where even the Vice Presidents wears casual clothes. There are a couple who still wear suits but they look out of place, LOL! We do have a dress code but it's not strictly enforced.

What is noticed at our company these days is a person's performance. It wasn't like that a few years ago but the last few layoffs have pretty much weeded out the dead wood. I have been here 25 years and have solidified a good reputation. I am in middle management and don't want to go much higher than this because of the stress at that level. I want to retire a healthy person. This has given me the luxury of being who I am at work...not doing the "perception is reality" thing. It's very liberating.
 
Luna! LMAO!

I agree Marie, I see these poor girls strutting around looking like streetwalkers & they have no idea the damage they're doing to their image or their career. There is one young lady here who I've tried to kind of mentor, & I'm still waiting for the right moment to tell her a pierced eyebrow will hold her back if she wants to enter politics/government. Not that I have anything against it--I guess it's kind of cute in the right context, but I seriously doubt she'll be able to garner votes w/that kind of jewelry. Especially considering the strongest voting block is senior citizens.

I don't know if I blame anyone, except for plain old poor taste. I think knowing appropriate dress for the workplace is something that comes with experience & maturity, but if you start out wrong it's almost like starting out lower than the bottom rung of the ladder.
 
I have a black sequins tube top that I got from The Limited. :D The only time I'll ever wear it though is if I go out for New Years Eve or something. It is pretty cute and classy looking. :D

There's no way I'd ever wear it to work. :D
 
Luna - crotch cleavage? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA *breathe* BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, that made me laugh so hard and yet go "ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww" at the same time.:)
 
The worst part about it is that I find myself mesmerized by the shadowy crevasses. Who knows what lurks in those nether regions? Certainly not I. Can't...look...away...
 
Okay, you're scaring me now. I have to share a room with you, you know. I don't wanna hear any more talk of staring at shadowy crevasses. Ever.
 
Perhaps the way to go would be to establish oneself as an intelligent, capable, brilliant career woman and THEN start sporting piercings and sequins or whatever else struck one's fancy, once established. It could start a trend that would put an end to such nonsense as Luna cat describes. Such absurd things. I do not have a perfect body but I'm easy! When I am the Ruler of the Universe, anyone can wear anything they want and it will all be good. I'll banish Paris to some island somewhere where she's out of sight and mind. Vote for me. I'll abolish men as well. Just keep them around in the background as playthings. Except the ones with crotch cleavage. Those we keep out front for giggles.

I accept your nomination with dignity and great majesty. My first act as Ruler of the Universe is to take Bobbi's chocolate away for calling me a perv. My second act is to abolish suspender crotch men and all women with thinner thighs than me. Since that will take a few years, I have time to ponder my toenails.

Come on, Luna. You cannot take my chocolate. Have you seen my thighs? I'm not saying you have large thighs, by any stretch of the imagination but I will be abolished without that chocolate to increase the size of my thighs. Dignity and majesty are wonderful but what of cruelty? And I wouldn't have nominated you if you hadn't turned out to be perverted. And you're just ruining the whole thing, darn you!

Marie, what kind of coffee do you love?

I guess I can back down from my previous edicts. After all, that's why the call me Luna "Mercy" Cat. But, Bobbi, you must promise to get bigger thighs. }(
 
Bobbi!! You eat chocolate like a mad woman and have 18 inch thighs...... I need the kind of chocolate you're eating!!!
 
You guys are too much! The shadowy crevices.... ewwww.

Anyway, Bobbi, I am not too particular about WHAT coffee I am drinking, so long as it is caffeinated. Right at the moment I am indulging in a caramel sundae latte, which was $5 and probably has about 7000 calories!
