I'm Asking: What Do You Wear to Work on Fridays?
Casual Friday is reinstituted at Dunder-Mifflin on last night's episode of The Office, now that Michael is back in charge. Angela hates it because she thinks everyone looks inappropriate, and is especially bent out of shape about Oscar's sandals. Michael's interpretation of casual Friday is a hoodie, t-shirt, and jeans, Pam and Phyllis show up in the same khaki pants and purple plaid shirt, Meredith rocks a skimpy tube dress (with no underwear), and Kelly shows off her street style in overalls, metallic boots, and a hat.
Did You Ever Have to Follow a Dress Code You Despised?
Dwight calls Dunder-Mifflin's new dress code a death sentence on last night's episode of The Office. He can no longer wear the short-sleeved button-downs that he wore with a tie every day, and he can't stop tugging at the long sleeves he's now forced to wear. Check out the clip below of Dwight having a fit and then tell me, was there ever a dress code that you despised?
How to Dress For Interview Success During the Recession
If you asked your grandmother for interview fashion tips, she'd probably advise to "dress for the job you want, not the job you have," but the professionals seem to think now is the time to simply play it safe. Wearing casual or unusual clothes in times of economic success can be a positive because it gives the impression you're a risk-taker, but that's not what employers are looking for given the current market.
Sandy Ruddock, who is the founder of image consultants Public i, recommends plain dark suits and white shirts for men and a simple jacket, skirt and blouse combo for a woman.

I'm Asking: Do You Recall Your First Day of Work Outfit?
Your first day at a new job can resemble your first day of school — the familiar nervous butterflies and thoughtful wardrobe choices included. With more than half of you admitting that you judge your co-workers by how they dress, taking care in making a first impression at work would only make sense. Do you recall what you selected for your first day on the job?

Do You Judge Your Co-Workers by How They Dress?
Old adages may tell us to "dress for success" and "dress for the job you want, not the job you have," but 49 percent of you define your work dress code as "business casual." I happen to think business casual is perfectly appropriate for most professions and when it's not companies usually create a dress code; however, it seems pretty obvious that we all judge a book by its cover from time to time. Do you find yourself judging your co-workers based on their style?
Do You Dress More Casually on Fridays?
Here at Sugar HQ we're lucky to dress as we please every day of the week, but I didn't always have it so good. My old office had me buttoned up day in and day out, though on Fridays most employees interpreted our business-casual dress code on the more casual side.
Men would wear khakis and a more colorful button-up shirt, and women might wear a sweater or a more comfortable dress than usual.
