I often walk around the office and see poor lost souls making these mistakes. Girls seriously do not understand the concept of dressing for work.

Here's my article on it: http://lavieboston.wordpress.com/2009/06/17/she-w…

Ha ha I had to laugh at the scrunchies one. I admit I wear scrunchies still. But I have reasons! and really good reasons!

I live in Florida so it's like 90+ degrees year round, and last summer the AC in my car broke and I can't afford the $1500 to fix it. So I have to roll my windows down when I drive, since I have long hair I have to put it up and if I don't want to wear my hair up all day I use a scrunchie cause it's the only thing that will keep my hair in a ponytail in a wind tunnel and not leave that little crimp in my hair when I take my pony tail down once I park.

My second reason is that I'm not allowed to wear my hair up at work, but my job requires a lot of climbing, looking down, and bending over so my hair always falls in my face. Again I don't want that nasty crimp in my hair for the rest of the day so when I'm doing those tasks I use a scrunchie to put my hair up.

My co-workers make fun of me all the time for it, but they don't understand that I can't do my job without putting my hair up, because otherwise my hair falls in my face, irritates my skin and gives me hives. yeah that's really weird, but it's true.

Yeah for real, If I wore denim spandex to work I would be told to go out and buy something or sent home, and I work in a very liberal store, and not as a sales associate dealing with mainly conservative customers thank god. I think there are few places Denim spandex is okay like at the MAC counter at Macy's, but only in New York City, because the get away with anything.

honestly you may think it's common sense but I see so many tragic cases like what was described I begin to wonder about what else these girls think look good. Especially wearing all black, it drives me nuts. You can still wear color even in a very conservative office, and you can show a little cleavage. Both must be tasteful and not over the top.

@Sam: You'd think, but then again, she *is* promoting SPANDEX PANTS while simultaneously dissing black, so…

Isn't it sad stuff like this isn't common sense to everyone?
