You don't have to say yes to the job/money in front of him, either!

The idea of wearing a suit of any sort w/o hose blows my mind. I know that seems to be a trend, but to me it just looks odd, and since I have sweaty feet, gross.

Each business has its own "uniform," and you have to look around and dress appropriately for that business, or as the guy who wrote DRESS FOR SUCCESS says, dress for the job you want, not the job you have. My husband took that advice a couple of decades ago and it has always served him well.

And as for Southern Cal -- that's another place where industry/position makes a difference. I've been in and out of several agencies in Beverly Hills and the agents (female, of course) I've seen have always worn hose with their 2,000 buck designer suits.

I'm one of the few women on earth who loves pantihose. I love the way my legs feel -- slick and sexy -- when I wear them. I'd hate to have to wear them every day again, though.
