If it gives you confidence, and it's authentic to who you are, you can't go wrong. Your outfit sounds perfect to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568837108728882616.post-10084283591776228752013-06-20T20:53:43.069-04:002013-06-20T20:53:43.069-04:00I work in book publishing and your outfits sound p...I work in book publishing and your outfits sound perfectly fine for our office too. If jersey dresses weren't allowed, I don't know what half of us would do. The khakis probably have to be seen (let's hope they weren't really like jodhpurs), but unless they were skintight, I'm having a hard time imagining something inappropriate. <br /><br />I think the main issue here is it really highlighted how dysfunctional the boss/office is. If your clothes are inappropriate, after a week max, he should have taken you aside or asked a senior woman to take you aside. A boss who sees your unconscious mistakes and lets you keep making them is not a boss you want to work for, ever. He could have cleared it up so easily, but he avoided saying anything for months. Crazytown.<br /><br />I will add, though, I'm not sure about your planned outfit. It sounds like a lot of look. High-contrast patterns from collarbone to ankles? Not sure if I would call that classic. But good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568837108728882616.post-84217223524202874482013-06-20T19:05:50.036-04:002013-06-20T19:05:50.036-04:00That is such a d*** move of your former boss to di...That is such a d*** move of your former boss to ding you for not dressing professionally when he'd never mentioned it before. I hope he wasn't as passive aggressive the rest of the time. Your outfits actually sound totally fine for my magazine office.Katenoreply@blogger.com
