I got this online for a female teacher's dress code.
* Dresses – hose should be worn if the dress does not fall below the knee
* Nice slacks – no tennis shoes
* Midriff tops should not be worn
* Skirts – length must fall no higher than the top of the knee
* Choose neutral-toned hosiery
* Shoes should be closed heel or pump style
* Make-up should be subtle
* Hair should be natural looking
* Perfume should be used sparingly
I can dress nice, and I get why they have their rules. Just going through my closet in my mind: I wouldn't be able to wear my bright colored tights, and could I wear cordaroy pants?
My 5th grade teacher always wore tennis shoes. She was the only one though- maybe she had a foot problem (she was old)?and I had a jr. high eng. Teacher who wore bright green platform shoes that looked like they belonged on a hooker and she'd wear them just a few times a year- they made her happy and she was always spunky when she wore them.
Man. It seems like no matter where you work, people always want to suck the life out of you.
