I was out with a sick baby, so didn't get to, but normally I do.  And I did for taking them out last night.  My outfit that I normally wear is not too bad for any office, so I don't feel bad doing this.  It's a medieval overskirt  - think long, sleeveless dress, which hooks just above the waist- high waist, and is otherwise open.  This is in a rich wine crushed velvet, with gold embroidery edging, making it look very rich.  Then I put a nice peasant blouse under it and either a black skirt (at least knee length, but prefer ankle length) or black slacks.  Last night I wore slacks.  Then I can add the simple braided "head dress", which is just a braid that sits on top of my hair, ringing my head, with a slip of lace draping down the back a little.  I can wear this, slip off the overskirt (and headress if I have it on) and look "normal" without any issue.  I have yet to have anyone complain in any of my previous positions over this attire, even when working with the public.  And in this position, I don't have contact with the public, so that isn't even an issue.
