Dim is cheap; the other two, not so. Falke's actually pretty expensive... I've noticed that things here are definitely sized 'up' from Europe: it must be all that Germanic blood in the national stream. If you're not too tall (something I can definitely understand, being on the average height line myself), it can be iffy finding the right leg length... Still, your talking of wearing stockings definitely got my blood pumping [8D] .

Stockings in silk and lace and fancy garters all over the place! Make for a fun "sleep-over party" for the ladies. [:D]

The sleep would happen the next day, after a night of pampering and debauchery!

I love the look of lace tops on thighs under a strict pencil skirt with beautiful high heels. Probably because I'm a child of the eighties. Oh god [sm=book.gif][sm=cool.gif][sm=laundry.gif]

Pencil skirts and heels, Liz Taylor and Marilyn Monroe wore those to name a few. Oh la la....

I've been reading this thread but haven't posted and had a bit of a shock yesterday. Had an appointment with an attorney here in Ontario and when we got to the office, I was dressed professionally in skirt, nylons, heels, and top while everyone in the office was in casual clothing. Sooooo, am I so out of it or did I just catch them on a casual day? [&:] When I used to work with lawyers in California, professional attire was almost always a necessity, except on rare occasions. Attorney/client meetings it was expected. This sounds silly but do I need to change my standards?

Lady Rainfire, do you know any of the staff well enough at that office to ask? I would be very surprised to find an attorney's office all dressed casually.

LadyRainfire -> RE: Business Casual vs Business (7/31/2008 4:56:57 AM)
No, it was my first visit there. It's my new attorney who will be handling my residency/immigration paperwork for Canada. We're talking the ladies were in capris and casual tops with sandals while I was feeling waaayyy over dressed. I know that a first impression is made in what? 7 seconds? I wanted to be sure to make that good presentation. I've always known offices to be professional dress except for the rare Friday dress-down day. When I go in to pick up some paperwork in a few weeks, I'll look again and maybe ask if the office is always "such a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere". [:D] Maybe the attorneys only require a certain dress code for court appearances.

i recently applied for a job at a business that requires "business casual". i was there waiting for my interview and there was a shift change. i saw everything from skirts-blouses-heels, to shorts-t shirts-flip flops. i think it really depends on the business and the managers over certain areas.

Have any of you ladies tried any of those brands of spray on hosiery? I was looking at one the other day in store, can't remember the brand, but I was thinking it may be just too similar to like spray on tan or something.

LadyRainfire -> RE: Business Casual vs Business (7/31/2008 5:32:07 AM)
[&:] No, and I'm not too sure it sounds like I'd try. I'm back on the hunt for decent hose since they don't have the brands here in Ontario that I know from the States. I did NOT like what I got the other day and I will not get it again. It did in the pinch but EWWWWW.... puh - lease!! [sm=eeew.gif]
