Yesterday I put out a YLF challenge to show us & tell us a little about what business casual looks like to you. Here's what a random week in Oct looked like for me.

(orginal post here http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....-challenge)

1. Do you have a do a written dress code? Is it enforced?
#1 rule No sneakers. Ever. Even on the rare occasions we can wear jeans... This rule lives.
We have a formal written dress code. Business casual, expect if you are meeting with outside vendors, then business dress is required. Jeans and sneakers are unacceptable, as are shorts and capris, and tee shirts. Men are require to wear shirts with collars. Business dress is defined as a tie for men, and appropriate apparel, such as dress pants, skirts and dresses, for women (yes, that's what it really says, appropriate apparel and then lists those 3 things)

2. What's the informal dress code?
So, as you can see, the formal dress code is a bit of a mess, and was clearly written by a man. Informally, it means khaki & golf shirts for the guys. Except for days when they have a meeting with vendors, then it's khakis & dress shirt with the ties they keep at their desks going on just before the meeting. For the women... It's come to mean almost anything, just as long as they don't really look like denim, and no shorts. And no sneakers.

3. What's the makeup of your workplace/ team (average age, mostly women/men etc).
My work team, (approx 40 people) is about 60% male at the moment...with the average age somewhere around 33. I am the oldest women on my team, by at least 10 years

4. And on a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being casual and 10 being business, where would you place each day.
Pictures are in order by day
Monday--8
Tuesday --9
Wednesday --5
Thursday--6
Friday--5 (during the fall/winter we have "flannel Friday's")

As always, any and all feedback welcome.
And looking foward to seeing your Biz Cas looks.
