Yep, when I was a consultant, back when we had to wear suits, the girls in our group were not allowed to wear dresses - made them look like secretaries.
That’s so on point! Even when I wear dresses, I always wear a jacket on top, but it doesn’t have the same feel as an elegant suit. I love a nice pair of flowey trousers and a longish jacket. This is NOT the same pantsuit that Hillary wears... I don’t even know where she acquires the outfits she seems to find. I swear I could have done a much better job dressing her.
