[KathieK]

Many companies have a dress code, whether "official" or just expected behavior on the part of their employees. I am from the "post-hippy" high school era of patched embroidered jeans and boots (the ****-kicker kind, your parents will know) and admittedly enjoy a more relaxed dress code where I work. But I also know that if the occasion warrants it, or the next job requires it, I'll wear what is dictated to me to wear. That's the way it is.
