black always looks hip...try a funky scarf too, flat shoes.

Black what though? Skirt, pants? And with what?

I'm freaking out here.

You can never go wrong with a well-tailored suit.

Get down to the outlets, STAT.

Do NOT over-accessorize.

I'd say go with either fitted/flat-front black slacks and v-neck (non-slutty) top. OR a cute pencil skirt and blazer combo.

@Jason: *smack forehead* of course!

@Bizz: Thank you Bizzy!

@Ben: Dammit Ben! I'm telling Jules! ;-p

@Alexis - seriously, get down to the Banana Republic (or some other similarly classy joint), find a salesperson and don't leave until you've got a complete outfit. They get paid a commission, so make'em earn it.

@Jas: Ay yie! I'm on it. I'll post pics and a story (if it comes to that) BTW when are you coming up to go tubing?

it depends on the job. you should in general dress a little more formal than how everyone else at the firm dresses. so if it is a casual work environment, you don't need to show up in a suit. in a way, you want to show that you fit in. you want to look like you already work there.

Alexis said, (195 days ago)

@ebd: that's a good point. maybe i can find something that fits in the middle somewhere.

om nom nom said, (195 days ago)

like a dick?

Alexis said, (195 days ago)

EXACTLY

Not sure if i'll make it out there until the end of the summer. How does August sound?

Alexis said, (195 days ago)

BAH! i'll be in Dallas by then!
