They just relaxed our dress code.... and personally - some staff already had to push the boundaries before, now it's just going to be a free for all with them.

We can now wear jeans any day of the week, as long as we are not dealing with 'customers' (external or interal from other facilities).  

No set rule about cleavage, but it shouldn't be showing.  But there are some women who make it known how much they have - even when it's not showing (they wear button up shirts that are 2 sizes too small for their double d's and wear a dark color bra under a light colored shirt)  Tacky Tacky Tacky in my opinion!!!

I wore a skirt one day that was about 2 1/2 inches above my knee... boss made a comment about it being 'real' short.  I was rather shocked and asked others about it... they didn't feel it was short either; but I haven't worn it again... mostly because it's a knit material and can be clingy - I gained some weight and felt it was too clingy for office attire.

They just did away with mandatory hosiery Mon-Thurs... and have said gauchos, capris are acceptable during the week as well (use to be Fridays only - during the summer months).  

It's going to be very interesting to see how far people push the boundaries now.  And even though I'd really (REALLY) like to wear jeans during the week... I feel that I should dress at the same level my boss does - and she won't be in jeans Mon-Thurs.   You dress for where you want to go (corporately) is the philosophy around here!!
