Appropriate clothing?

I know this may seem like an odd question- BUT- I need help.
What is proper attire for an interview down there?

Up here in ATL I would were a light jacket or something but in the heat down there- and the dressed down atmosphere- I'm not sure? Are open-toe shoes OK?

I tried this amazing top on tonight- and then realized it was kinda like satin and I'd probably have sweat stains the size of Texas... :blink: :funn:

I don't think it is pantyhose? It looks like a full body super tan girdle! Thickest tights ever! :funn:

And seriously- why does a uniform require wearing these tights AND socks? WOAH.

Totally unrelated but how funny is this mousepad? My boss gave one to me. I actually have done some graphics work for their magazine... It actually is quite comfortable! :yikes:

Those aren't pantyhose, those are special support/toning hose to mak etheir legs look better!

They also wear them w/ socks and sneakers, so let's not use them as a fashion standard.

hmmmm......can't remember

We work long hours for you people. They're support hose. And you don't expect us to wear heels while we bring you those wings, do you? As if my back didn't hurt enough just from having to carry my front around...Gah...if it weren't for my employee discount on wings, I would TOTALLY quit...

Honestly, I never understood why people feel the need to dress for work. If people would spend as much time on being hard-working and honest, as they spend on thinking about which clothes they were going to wear, the business world would be a better place. Liars and cheats often wear suits.

It's always safer to over dress than under dress for an interview. But make sure you're comfortable because they might want you to go out to lunch, or tour the building, whatever. You have to be able to walk. LOL.
Open-toed shoes are not my recommendation because some places have dress codes forbidding them.
But, if you do go that route, for the love of Ishtar, please make your toenails look nice! Around here, it's pretty standard for professional women to have their toenails painted.
I hate it when women with gnarly feet wear open-toed shoes. :yikes:

I hate it when ANYONE with gnarly feet wears open-toed shoes/sandals! There are some massively ungroomed/stank feet roaming the world!

;-) Just a little reminder for all my gull-friends...

The Open Toed Shoe Pledge
As a member of the Cute Girl Sisterhood, I pledge to follow the Rules when wearing sandals and other open-toe shoes:

I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps.

I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free.

I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe.

I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow.

I will shave the hairs off my big toe.

I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there.

If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back into place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it.

I will not live in corn denial; rather I will lean on my good friend Dr. Scholl's if my feet need him.

I will resist the urge to buy jelly shoes at Payless for the low, low price of $4.99 even if my feet are small enough to fit into the kids' sizes. This is out of concern for my safety, and the safety of others. No one can walk properly when standing in a pool of sweat and I would hate to take someone down with me as I fall and break my ankle.

I will take my toe ring off toward the end of the day if my toes swell and begin to look like Vienna sausages.

I will be brutally honest with my girlfriend/sister/coworker when she asks me if her feet are too ugly to wear sandals. Someone has to tell her that her toes are as long as my fingers and no sandal makes creepy feet look good.

I will promise if I wear flip flops that I will ensure that they actually flip and flop, making the correct noise while walking and I will swear NOT to slide or drag my feet while wearing them.

I will promise to go to my local nail salon at least once per season and have a real pedicure (they are only $20 and worth EVERY penny).

I will promise to throw away any white/off-white sandals that show signs of wear... nothing is tackier than dirty white sandals.

Together we can fight sandal crime! Pass it on!
