Dress code

Basically I do not care how other people dress, I just could not help myself but write about dress code today. Yesterday was the date to pledge allegiance at the West Palm Beach Court Room, where it hosted more than 120 people. On the letter I received about this appointment, clearly marked "Proper Attire Required".

What is "Proper Attire" when you have to appear in a court room?! Well, the answer was entertaining.

I wore a pink blouse with a black skirt to knee length, there is a slit on the side goes up to the mid-thigh for easy walking, a pair of black high-heel. I think this is very appropriate, not-showing too much meat + not revealing too much curve yet it is elegant without the formality. ( I didn't want to wear my suit with jacket and matching pants or skirt, it was too hot )

I saw a guy walks in with jeans got holes on them and his plaid shirt missing buttons; a very slim lady wearing a tight black dress just bearly cover her as* as the length goes and there are ropes fringe along side of her breast line and hip line, I personally think that was appropriate if she is pole-dancing for the day;

A 250 lb lady was wearing a tank-top, listen carefully --- a tank top! on a 250lb body, Gosh.... On the other hand, this African American young man is among the best of all, at least he cares, at least he cares enough to go get a brand new suit ( perhaps just the jacket ) even the tag of the brand is still sew on the left sleeve facing out. He might plan to return that jacket after yesterday.

I couldn't help myself but ask: What is appropriate attire nowadays?!

Appropriate Attire:
Going to church, temple, court room --- nothing shorter than 4" above knee length, shoulder and chest should be covered. No one is interest in looking at your toes unless they are really pretty, otherwise one should always wear close-toe shoes. Absolutely no flip-flop. Men should wear a suit or a shirt and long pants, no shorts at these places. Jeans is acceptable if they are nice, not those I saw with holes on them.
