our manager of administrative services complains about my wardrobe to my boss and our VP all the time.

Posted by amanda jonas (aka amanda) Feb 4 '16, 08:08

we have budget review today and she asked my boss if I would be sent home to change because my outfit is "distracting" and "not color-coordinated."

are we adults?

I am wearing:
just-lighter-than-peacock suede skirt; usual length
black and white plaid tights (big plaid, not little plaid)
black shirt (medium hot pink cami you can see a slice of if my shirt has moved)
black scarf with big daisies on it

?
