What is appropriate to wear to work with children? I'm going to be starting a job soon working with preschool children. I like to dress cute and fashionably, but I don't feel comfortable wearing anything that could in any way be considered sexy. Does anyone have any suggestions for cute things I could wear to work that are not sexy? Do you think I am being too conservative? I know looking cute shouldn't be my main focus, but sometimes I am going to be going right from work to one of my night classes (grad school) and I want to be able to look attractive at class.

Do you have guys checking you out too? i get it on the street every day. comments like nice butt and nice a**. can't cross a street without a horn blast or a cat call from a passing car. now i expect that on the beach or even on the street. but lately, i even get it while working in my own yard and garden. i've had cable dudes spend hours making repairs in their cherrypickers, checking me out from above. now they are putting up a large building across the alley. you never see anyone working until i go out to garden. then dozens of construction workers apear out of nowhere to work on my side of the building. i can't bend over with out hearing cheers from the crowd. when they take lunch they all sit and stare. now they started passing around a pair of binoculars. i used to wear my bikini in my garden because it was private. when the building started i switched to baggy cutoff, but that didn't stop them. don't tell me to garden later after they are gone. i only have that time i can garden. help. what can i wear?

Is it OK to wear knee high boots with a skirt to work at an office? Obviously it's not a short skirt, it goes down to my knees and the boots go a little below the knees. I wear this almost anywhere else, I'm just not sure if it's apropriate for the office. I'm young and I work with a lot of older people so I've never seen anyone else here wear them. Only answer if you actually know something about working in an office. I realize maybe the type of boots make a difference. The ones I have are not very high, about 2 inches and they have more of a square toe not pointy.

Why can fat people wear anything they want to work? I do not think it is fair that big or untoned people can wear anything they want to work and slim people with nice curvy bodies can't. Today my department is having an award achievement ceremony and I have on a beautiful dress that is sleeveless but goes to my ankles. Sort of like a long maxi dress. I look gorgeous and I received alot of compliments but then my supervisor brings me into her office and says that I need to wear a sweater. Why? I have nice toned muscluar arms. People at my job wear sleeveless shirts all the time but they have flabby arms and short skirts with fat legs and no one says anything to them. What's up with that? Is the workforce jealous of fit people? Well not anything- but a big person can wear a similar outfit to the fit person and the fit person will get havoc. No Courtnei- you are wrong. If you read you will see that we are having an award ceremony- a formal occasion and I am wearing a formal dress. My supervisor really isn't my supervisor, she is just head of secretaries and at one point we did not get along. I never speak to her a day in my life. I do not dress this dressy everyday but she still looks at my with green eyes. I am just asking a question and to see if anyone else felt the same way. PS. I work damn hard for my body. And those fat people do not get spoken to. They wear it everyday. And you can go sleeveless according to the clothing policy, just not strapless or tank top. I clearly read the policy before wearing anything to work, This is the dress- but in a different color http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=250141&CategoryID=27230&LinkType=EverGreen

Should I wear business casual clothing to work? I work in a laboratory (environmental testing industry) where the dress code is casual. I work within the IT department.

I've asked him, "don't you have headphones?" while staring daggers, but he just replies "no". Obviously I lack the tact that will garnish positive resolution of this problem. Any ideas?
