dress code blues

thanks to my one coworker wearing a tube top mini dress and platform heeled sandals yesterday,
we now have specific rules
all of which i'm ok with except that little after-thought #5:
"all skirts, dresses, and shorts must be knee-length or longer"
i was wearing longish nice shorts over heavy tights with nice flats and a sweater!
you're telling me that's a no-no now?
the little boys will get "confused"?
i think not!
my skirts etc always hit well past the ends of my hands,
which was the strictest test i knew before.
i mean i would understand if it weren't a jean and t-shirt kind of place.
ugh, it's just annoying because i already have such a limited wardrobe and now four of my workin staples are out the window.
and i'm the only one who wears tights with skirts, which i think is decidedly more modest than bare skin. i even heard jay say something about a tights clause and then a korean teacher shot him down with some "leggings as pants!" comment.
i know how to do it right, just let me do my thannnng!

That stinks...Kristen has a few dresses that are short, so she always wears them with heavier tights, and it makes it a modest outfit. It looks hoochy without them, but the tights give it such a completely different look that she can even wear it to church.
