Casual attire?

[podling]

For the first time ever, my company has decided to do casual attire on Fridays in August. And the memo includes this sentence...

"Items should be matched or part of an ensemble."

I still can't wrap my mind around the fact that companies even have dress codes anymore--I mean, is this the 50's?

I wear jeans nearly everyday, but then, so does The Man. At my last company, a billion dollar medical tech place, the president of the company wore hawaiian shirts and shorts. I guess we really are more casual here. I sometimes see bankers in the city in suits. But mostly, "business casual". Mythic, man.

I wish! I do so miss the aquatic gardening part of my life, when I wore cut offs and a sports bra, often without shoes. Oh, the sadness. One day I'll have to find another job.

Heh. At my last job, I wore suits. Skirtsuits or pantsuits. On Fridays, I could get away with slacks or twist skirts.

Today I'm wearing jeans and a solid black t-shirt. I'm a happy girl. Dress-code-wise, at least...

A friend's father worked for a company that not only had a dress code at work, he wasn't allowed to be seen in public, at all, ever, in blue jeans. It was a small town and he could be assured of running into a co-worker if he was out in public. And that was in the early 90's. How's that for wierd?
