The sad thing is that she's married and her husband encourages her to dress in a provocative manner at the office. My fiance has no idea how any man would want his wife leaving the house looking like a tramp!

What's the point of having a Porsche if you can't show it off?

There's a difference in flaunting what you've got, and just plain looking like a slut.

I shouldn't have to see butt crack - on ANYONE - at work. Of the sides of this girl's bra poking out of her shirt's armholes. She literally looks like a streetwalker most days.

Well, unless you work with plumbers (there are union rules requiring at least 4 inches of butt crack) or in a strip club, I agree.

I was just trying to point out that, IMHO, a very attractice wife or girlfriend should be flaunted (in a non-work setting, of course).

I see several comments about women over a certain age should'nt go sleeveless and that only thin women can wear hip huggers. I am 42 I will wear sleeveless when I feel like it. You don't like it don't look.

Now lets talk about men with large guts and short tshirts,that should be outlawed.. Can I get a heck yeah?

P.S. I love my workplace ,we all get to wear scrubs. Its like wearing your jammies to work.

What's wrong with tramps? Nothing wrong with getting a little now and then.

The bare skin sexy look was never in for the office, except on TV shows and in magazines. It's always been fantasyland, not real life.

I dress conservatively but I do wear sleeveless tops with nice slacks or longish skirts. (I also almost always have a sweater or jacket within reach that I can put on if necessary.) At 48 with hot flashes coming and going I need to try to stay cool. :)

Hey Muggs!
I'm actually a stay-at-home mom right now. So what I wear doesn't really matter!!! However, I am getting ready to go back to work as a sub in our school district. I'm pretty conservative all around! I have some nice shirts with no sleeves but will also have a sweater or jacket to go with it. If I'm out on the playground with the kids on a hot day, I will be comfortable!

the only girls wearing skirts or dresses are either skanks with hooker-wear or are conservatively dressed but have already been snatched up by somebody with half a brain.

As much as I love conservative women, I don't like them conservatively dressed. It's the biker in me.

With the multiculturalism popularity, our society has become too casual. Anything goes. People show up to work sometimes in t-shirts and old comfy jeans, sweats. Uniforms have turned into polo shirts and pants. Far cry from the period of time you are speaking of.

I do agree with you, but with todays popularity of importing poverty into this country, I think the days of formal attire have gone to the wayside, unfortunate sign of our times.

In all the office type jobs I've had we always had to dress conservatively. One time a girl wore nice blue jeans and had to go home to change. They weren't lewd in any way - just blue jeans.

I dress conservatively, too. But when I am home I dress as cool as I want. That usually means shorts and tank tops in the summer. I don't have hot "flashes" - I tend to be hot all the time, unless it is winter. I can't stand being hot.

I just started working for a new company. The old company didn't mind if I wore jeans but with the new company I'd be afraid to try it. I've got 23 pair of jeans and now I almost never get to wear them.

That's the pitts. If it is the same type of work as you had been doing it looks like they would let you wear them. Maybe you could wear them when you are off hours - otherwise know as happy hours (he he).
