You Look Awful!

A lot has been said about attire in the work place. See below:

Recently a law firm I know decided to enact a dress code.   While I may not agree  with  certain provisions of the code such as the foot attire, it comes down to you do what the boss says and shut up.   I personally would like to add a few items, and remove a few  from the code!  I don't see how thong sandles and tennis shoes are a no no but you can have a receptionist full of visible tats and facial piercings.   Hello!  What looks more trashy!
 
Now having had my own law firm for a  number of years and worked for various organizations this is my basic dress code for you:
 
No visible tatoos!
No pierced faces!
Long hair- tie it back!
No boobs, No butt, No belly!  COVER IT!
No skirts shorter then 2 inches above your knee (see above)!
Wear a bra!
Wear underwear!
No shorts!
Be clean and neat and groomed.
When in doubt, err on the side of conservative.
