The jeans thing kind of makes me laugh. Most places I have worked in the tech field have allowed for wearing jeans. Once place I worked was so funny about it. They use to taunt their sales staff by dangling the jeans privilege in front of them to encourage performance. If we make x number of sales this week, next friday you can wear jeans! Yay! I wanted someone to pipe up and say "Sorry, but my commission only affords me this pair of second hand dockers."

Awesome!! I've had the same pair of lame Dockers (beige) that I bought second-hand 5 years ago!!! I happened to be discussing the dress code with a manager when I wore them to work recently........she said that I "Always look so nice" as she came by my room in passing........poor thing was really reaching for a compliment!


I then got to discuss my Dockers with her at that point....I gave her the Docker's history because she opened that window of opportunity! It felt good case....now that really felt good.....I got to say "yeah...I got these second hand...years ago.....". Then I gave her a look telling her it wasn't by choice!!! Haaa! Silly......but I wish you had been there! You probably would have enjoyed it.

Yeah, you and your Prada can get out of my office before I continue to discuss my crusty beige dockers. Thanks......
